They are in fact his daughters with Elespy being named after Elespy Grant, her mother's (Margaret McKenzie) mother. Yes ?

Carson who is working on this line because I have gone as far as I can on my own. John James Alexander Carson was born 06 Nov 1878 in Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. His father, James E. Carson, was born abt 1844 in Dalbeattie, Dumfriesshire, Scotland and was a school teacher. Family lore is that James was married three times. First wife produced 4 children: Robert, Hugh, Elizabeth and Christina. Second wife, who I think was named Clemetine, produced one child: John J A Carson, and the third wife, Lizzie, produced Agnes, James, Nellie and three more children that I don't know because the lore also goes that James Carson sired 11 children altogether. Sometimes after 1886, the family moved to Lambeth, London, England where James was a schoolmaster. The lore continues that John joined the British Army in the Boer War. After that he immigrated and ended up in Detroit, Michigan, where he married my gGrandmother, Margaret Will Swirles in 1907. Is there anyone else out there related and researching this family?

I am interested in a William Carson line that came from Scotland, lived in Canada (particularly "Inverness, Canada" in the early 1800s, then moved to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and later, Burlington, Iowa. I think they were in the timber business in Canada, Wisconsin, and Iowa. -- Phil [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Shirley Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006 11:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: David Carson Are any of you related to a Carson line that ended up in Canada?.

Alexander is somewhat unique. The name appeared later in eastern NC. The more common repeating names in PA (first and second generations) were Samuel, John, William, David plus James, Andrew and George for males and Mary, Margaret, Janet/Jane, Sarah and some others for females.

When you look at both it appears that nearly every PA Carson was related to him in some way. I'm don't say that William wasn't descended from him...I just have seen any proof. I have a couple pet theories I have been considering: 1) Why was William's eldest son named Lindsey? I suspect their is a connection to a Lindsey family in his near ancestry. 2) there appears to be a connection to a Black family (name not race). Good luck with the PA Carson's.

If you can help with any research for PA, that would be great. I'm working under the assumption that my David Carson ancestor born 1760-65 was born in PA and that came to western NC by 1780-85. After marrying, he was in eastern TN 1790-99 (probably moving their with his parents and wife) then back in Buncombe NC by 1800. Findings suggest he was a son of William Carson and Margaret McCord who were married 1760 Dauphin PA by Rev. John Roan. Here are some questions and challenges related to PA: 1) I'm wondering if the Robert Carson who married Margaret West 1755 and the Mary Carson who married a John Lee 1759 in Dauphin PA and by the same minister (Rev. John Roan) who married William and Margaret are siblings of William. 2) If the older David Carson who appears on Lancaster PA tax lists in 1750-51 is a father of these 3 and/or if that David died in PA and left a will or intestate record in Lancaster or Dauphin. 3) If the David Carson in the Cumberland PA Tyrone Twp tax list 1778 died in that county about then and left a widow Sarah and sons David and John. The tax lists suggest that is the case because the widow appears, then another David in 1779-1780. I'd also like to figure out if he is the same older David who was in the Lancaster tax list 1750-51. 4) Rev. John Cutherbertson in Lancaster PA baptized Mary Carson and Margaret Carson 1754-1756, listed as daughters of David Carson. He also baptized numerous McCord children whose father was with our Carson line in eastern TN. I'm wondering which David was their father. 4) I'm trying to find any record of a David Carson (born marrying a Catherine Patterson around 1786 -1789 in PA (might have been in VA or NC). Any information or hints would be appreciated. Thanks, Gary Carson

I noticed you mentioned Carsons in Virginia---I have Henry Carson born 1720 with sons Isaac and William born 1742 and 1743. Isaac was in Augusta Co. Va and had children Jane, Abraham, Mary and Agnes. Not sure if Henry was in VA. but may have been. Any of these look familiar? Jackie

(None of my Carson generations have used the names Alexander or Harvey. They were big on David, Joseph, William, James, and Samuel.) My next project was to focus on Abingdon, VA to find more info on my scots-irish ancestor, David Carson (b. 1741?). But, I see that some readers would like to identify the Carsons in Colonial Pennsylvania. I happen to work in the Capitol complex in Harrisburg. I don't have a lot of time to give, but I would be happy to look in the state library or archives for Carson-related items that you identify. Jerry Radke Harrisburg, PA
