Hi Everyone,
I was doing some research on my Carson line and found a few things in a
book called History of Wayne County Ohio By: Douglass, Ben. The book was
printed in 1878. I have it on loan for a short time. Since I ran into a few
things on Carson's I thought I would share them with you, just in case you
could use the information. I don't thin this is any of my direct Carson line
but possible related indirectly. Hope this will help someone out there. If i
find any more tidbit's, I will send them to the list.
Have a good day all,
