Long-time users, please excuse me. This is my first post to Carson-L
Archives. I wanted to reply directly to bb517(a)msn.com, so it would appear as
a reply to his letter, but could only read the archives, not reply. Bob and
John, if I don't hear from you in a week or so, I will email you directly.
Here's my letter:
Dear Bob and John,
I sent your email of 25 JUL 2000 to a friend and fellow Carson researcher
(Marian Butler.) She doesn't have a computer, so she sent me ten pages of
info. as hard copies. Here's the gist of it:
She wonders if John CARSON who married Christina ANDREWS could be the
grandson of Henry CARSON . Henry CARSON in his will of 1802, Hamilton Co.
OH lists his grandson, John CARSON , son of David CARSON .
This Henry CARSON had several connections to the ANDREWS family:
1. Henry CARSON had a daughter, Jenny CARSON who married an unknown
ANDREWS.
2. Henry CARSON (in his will) designated Henry CARSON ANDREWS as a nephew;
so Henry CARSON also had a sister who married an ANDREWS.
3. Did Jenny CARSON , daughter of Henry CARSON marry her 1st cousin, Henry
CARSON ANDREWS?
4. Then did Henry's grandson, John CARSON (son of David CARSON ) marry
Christina ANDREWS?
5. Notice Butler Co. OH deeds listing Abraham & Elizabeth ANDREWS to
Courson/Corson, John Jr. Is this related to the family?
(Following record may have been transcribed by Margaret Nelson:)
Hamilton Co. OH Will Abstract Book 25; p. 500 Bk 6 p. 400
Henry CARSON will made 16 OCT 1802 Probated 04 NOV 1802
Wife Agnes Sons: David and Hugh Daus: Hannah; Elizabeth; Mary RADDORKS;
Margaret Giffen; Jenny ANDREWS.
Grandson: John, son of David. Nephew Henry Carson ANDREWS.
Son in law: James GIFFEN
Note by NNS: I have a family group record made out for Henry CARSON and
"Agnes":
Their children: David CARSON ; Hugh CARSON ; Hannah CARSON ; Elizabeth
CARSON ; Mary RADDORKS; Margaret GIFFEN; and Jenny ANDREWS. Looks like it
also came from the same will: My sources were:
Hamilton Co. Oh Marr. Rec. 1808; and Abstracts of Wills 1790-1810 Dickore
THORNBURGH P. 49.
(Following from Marian Butler again): Could Christina ANDREWS' parents be
Abraham and Elizabeth in the following?
Butler Co. OH Deeds (microfilm) (not sure who transcribed)
Bk. 27, p.180 Abraham and Elizabeth Andrew to John COURSON, Jr., all of
Butler Co. OH - 01 MAR 1856: Rec. 22 MAR 1856. Sum: $600. Land: Lot 31,
Jacksonburg, Butler Co. OH, plus 1 acre off lots 31 & 5A in S-3 T-3 R-3E
which mentions land owned by William E. JONLEY. Signed Abraham Andrew; Eliz.
ANDREWS, her mark. Wits: R.S. LOCKWOOD, N.P. & B.J. BARKALOW
I hope there are some leads for you here. Let me know if you want me to
(snail) mail the hard copies that Marian sent. I am interested in any old
CARSONs in OH and IND. Could you answer some questions for me?
1. Who were the children of John CARSON and Lucinda BROCK? (There is
another John and Lucinda running around Indiana and they are of about the
same age.)
2. Do you know who Christina ANDREWS' parents were?
Good luck in your research. Let me know if you find any more info. on John's
lineage.
