Most of the CARSON's were located in the Elk District
They were probably Presbyterian. I have already contacted Maryland state
archives and Vital Statistics with no success. Contacted WV Archives &
History Center in Charleston with some success.
Family relocated to Elk District, Kanawha Co., (W)VA after 1860.
Would also like records access to Ship passenger lists from Scotland to
Baltimore after 1852.
My main objective is the birthplace in Allegany County of Grace M. Carson,
my great-grandmother. This would be accomplished bu contacting existing
CARSON descendants in the Charleston and Kanawha Co., WV area.
Locations of residence in townships or towns would be greatly appreciated.
