Cindy et al;
I know that my James Carson (1800--1875) married Mary Geer, 1828 in Pittsburgh; this
couple had six known children: Ellen B., b. 1831; Ann Virginia, b. 1837 (these two issue
born in Butler Co., PA); Arthur McGill, b. 1839; James Buchanan, b. 1841; Cornelia, b.
1844; and Marion, b. 1846-47 (the last four born in Allegheny Co.). James and Mary are
buried in the Allegheny cemetery in our Thomson (my mother's maiden name)family plot.
Years ago there was a lister on the PAALLEGH list,(Nancy Sterling is no longer on the
list), who had a Mary Carson married to a BRATTON. She and I believed we were connected
but could never prove/verify this.
Seems to me I have seen a Hugh Carson in the Cumberland Co., PA area c. 1800 or before.
Try posting to the PACUMBER list and ask about your line. I know there were Carsons from
this area who later came to western PA.
