Benjamin E. Carson (b. 9/2/1846, Harrison County, WV -- d. 7/26/1907, Wetzel County, WV)
was the son of Robert Carson (b. 1828, VA -- d. 6/18/1892, Wheeling, Ohio County, WV) and
Mary Ann Sims (b. 3/19/1824, Lewis County, WV -- d. 8/18/1899, Lewis County, WV). Robert
and Mary divorced ca. 1865 and each of them remarried. Robert married twice after his
divorce: 1. Margaret J. (?) Darrah in 1866, Wetzel County, WV and 2. Mary Belle
(McKowen) Watkins in 1867, Wetzel County, WV.
Mary Ann (Sims) Carson married Jonathan N. Henline in 1868, Lewis County, WV and had 3
children with him.
Robert Carson and Mary (Sims) had 7 children before their divorce of which four of them
made it to adulthood. Robert was the son of William Carson and Bithera Hall. Mary
Sims' 2nd marriage record states that she was the daughter of John and Polly Sims. I
am not certain exactly who her parents were, but it is my belief that they were John
Wesley Sims and Mary Curtis of Lewis County, WV.
