Searching for any information on the family of John Carson/Hulda of Parke Co. Indiana.
Index to probate records indicates estate: Heirs of John Carson, 16 MAY 1865; guardian,
Hulda R. Carson; Wards: James M. and Adah L.; Sureties: Swaim and Smith.
1860 Census for Parke Co. Indiana, Libery Twp., Post Office: Howard
Dwelling # 707, Family # 698
John Carson, age 30, farmer, born in Indiana (b. ca. 1830)
Hulda R. Carson, age 25, b. North Carolina (b. ca. 1835)
Sarah Parker, age 28 (?) born Kentucky (b. ca. 1832)
Note: John is listed at the bottom of one page. Hulda is listed at the top of the next
page. Her name is listed and indexed as Hulda CORSON, but since the dwelling and family
number are the same for Hulda as for John Carson, I assume she is a Carson.
What happened to Hulda and wards after 1865? Did Hulda remarry? Where in Indiana did
John Carson come from? Why are there no land deeds for him?
