Hello, Carson cousins and friends! I have Carsons in two different branches of my
dad's family.
I will start by asking about Hugh Carson. He was born around 1799, probably either in OH
or PA. One or both parents were immigrants, according to varying censuses.
I think Hugh lived in Allegheny County, PA, during the 1840s through the 1860s. I believe
he may have resided in Salt Creek, Wayne, OH, in 1870s - 1880s.
First wife was Eliza/Elizabeth, and possible second wife was Mary E. Son was Alexander
Carson, died in the Civil War, grandson Frank DeWitt Carson, grandaughters Eva, Mary
Louella, and Elizabeth.
I have not been able to locate any info on the origins of a Hugh Carson close to his
birthdate.
Thank you all for any clues you can provide.
Cindy
