Marybeth,
My hypothesis is that my Hugh is the son of Patrick Carson, 1737-1835, born in Ireland. In
that case, his name might be Robert Hugh Carson. Patrick Carson had a son Robert who does
not appear with the family, but then Hugh emerged and appeared to travel with the family.
That is one reason I think Robert may be Hugh. In addition, one of the children who went
to school with other Patrick Carson grandchildren in Henry, Illinois, had the same first
name as Hugh Carson's son (Alexander). Hugh's son Alexander also had two children
born in Henry, Illinois, and so on. There is an interesting account of the school, which I
will upload in an attachment.
Patrick also had a son James E. who disappeared. I wonder if your James might connect with
him. Hugh named one of his sons James.
If anyone has any input to refute or support my ideas on Robert/Hugh, please let me know.
Thanks.
Cindy
