Marybeth, I don't know whether this is relevant to you or not - maybe not since it is
not James.
I am researching another Alexander Carson who was a lieutenant in the same regiment and
company as Hugh's two sons, Alexander and James (trying to find out whether they are
related). Have found out that someone I think may be this Lieut. Alex sued his wife, Sarah
Jane, for the title to a lot that Joeseph Carson had deeded to her in Allegheny City. The
report mentions that Alex and Sarah ran a hotel business together. They were married in
1886, I think, and the case went to court around 1900. It was appealed to the PA Supreme
Court. Was wondering why I couldn't find Alex and Sarah in any censuses together -
maybe they didn't get along too well. She signed up for a widow's pension, though,
after his death.
