Ginger,
I did some checking (you may know some of this already). I think your Lee L. Carson was
Levi Carson born Sep 1870 PA (son of Joseph Carson in Crawford Co PA 1880).
As you probably know, Lee L. Carson was born Sep 1870 in PA. He and Lillie were in
Whittier Ca 1930,Osage Co OK 1920,Rogers OK 1910 and Wells IN 1900 (already married). In
1900 Wells IN, Jessie M. Mead brother-in-law born March 1872 PA and sister-in-law born
1886 PA are living with Lee and Lillie (along with dtr Edith Carson born 1899). The Mead
surname is the hint for finding Lee.
In 1880 Jesse Mead age 8 was living in Crawford Co PA with sister Lily Mead age 3
(children of Henry and Eada Mead). This is obviously Lillian Margaret Mead Carson, wife of
Lee L. Carson. In 1880, a Levi Carson age 11 was in Crawford Co PA (son of Joseph Carson
42 and Sallie 33 both born PA). This must be Lee L. born Sep 1870 PA. Lee is probably
short for Levi. As you probably noticed, there are no Lee Carson names born around 1870 in
PA 1880 or elsewhere.
Levi's father Joseph Carson in the 1880 census says his father was born in Ireland.
Hope this helps.
Gary
