I am looking for info on Samuel Carswell - have located a transcription of his will dated
March 12, 1822, Philadelphia. Wife: Margaret
Children: Mary Ann Carswell (Ely), Samuel Kinsey Carswell, Matthew William Carswell, and
Margaretta Carswell.
Brothers: Alexander Carswell, Robert Carswell, both of the town of Maganahly
(Maghernahely), County Armagh in North of Ireland, 2 miles of Neury.
Sister: Mary Carwell (White), widow, also of Maganahly
Grandson: Samuel Carswell Ely, son of Mary Ann and the Rev. Ezra Stiles Ely
Nephew: Samuel Carswell, son of Robert
Mary Ann and Ezra Ely also had a daughter named Margaret Carswell Ely b. abt. 1815 in
Hartford, Ct. who married Dr. Samuel McClellan of Philadelphia, uncle of Gen. George B.
McClellan.
I also found a census for Chester Co., PA from 1790 which lists a Samuel Carswell and
another adult.
Any info would be appreciated. I am descended from Mary Ann Carswell Ely.
