Sandy,
When and where did John and Mary E. marry? Where was she born? Did John
have a prior marriage? What were their children's names and when were they born?
With common names, it helps to have some parameters.
In 1860 Centre, Walker PA is James Carson 38 (teamster), Sarah 34, John 5,
Cordelia 3 and Mary E. 6/12 all born in PA.
In 1870, the family is in Centre, Patton PA as James 47, Sarah J. 44, John
14, Cordelia 12, Mary E 10, Harvey 7, Irwin 4 and Eliza 1. James is a farmer
and John "works in farm."
In 1880 Huntington, Franklin PA is James Carson 57, Sarah 53, Henry H 17,
Irvine G 13, Eliza L 11. John is on his own somewhere else.
Was Mary from Illinois? In 1880 is a Mary McCreath age 17 (servant, father
born in Scotland) living with Sarah Oakwood 55 in Vermillion Illinois. In
1870, this same Mary McCreath 8 was living with Martin and Sarah Oakwood in the
same county.

Drat it! I don't think it was my Carson's as don't recognize names.
He had a brothers Samuel and Irve. That I know of.
My John was born Nov.13,1855. Mary was born July 7,1862
Don't know if it makes a difference but John was a Boilermaker
That's what I mean about being so many John and James from PA

Was wondering if anyone has done a search in PA. for Carson's.
James was married to Sarah Edminston
I found that there are lots of John's and James (John was my paternal
great
grandfather and James was great great grandfather)
John E. Carson was born Nov. 13,1855
Married to Mary Elizabeth McCreath. her father and mother were born in
Scotland, Mary's mother was Christine Arthur
Have a lot of info. but not in Pa.
Need a Federal Census for 1850 for John in Fayette Co. PA, Brownsville
Township
And 1860 Mary Carson North Union Township
Would really appreciate a look up.
Sandy
