I have been trying to identify the parents of a Martha B Carson, born in Chesaning,
Saginaw, Michigan. On the birth certificate for my husband's grandfather, she was
said to be aged 21 on 4/8/1890, indicating she should have been born in 1869.
I have found a reference to a Martha Bell Carson, born 1/5/1868 to a George Carson and
wife. However, according to the Michigan census for 1870, it appears that George and his
family lived in Brady, not Chesaning. Also, the year is not right.
The same census index (1870) lists a Sam S Carson in Chesaning, so I am guessing that he
would be Martha's father??
Martha married a Johnson Curry and gave birth to her first child, Henry S Curry in 1890.
It would be great if I could also find a reference to their marriage, I would suppose in
1888 or 1889, as I am also researching additional info on Johnson, who was from Canada.
Any help you might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated.
