THIS IS WHO MY ANCESTORS THOUGHT WAS THE WILLIAM CARSON FROM IRELAND (or why else would they have his obit stuck in the old family Bible)? Do any of you have more information on THIS William Carson??? Check the dates because that is about all the obit gave specific info on....no members of his family were named. William Carson (1735-1819) b. Ireland d. Chilicothe, Ross Co, Ohio. According to the obit published in the Chilicothe, Ross Co. Ohio newspaper in 1819, William Carson had died at the age of 85. He was the father of 13 children, grandfather of 74 grand children and 7 great-grandchildren at the time of his death. His birth place was Ireland in 1735, and he came to America in 1773. Unfortunately, most obits back in those days were more concerned with the "soul" of the dearly departed than they were with the survivors and other personal information. The obits read more like sermons than stories of someone's life. There is no wife's name mentioned (living nor dead) and none of the children were named. We do know by documents from that time that he lived in Ross County, OHIO from 1809 until his death...but he could have lived there longer...we just know that he started out in America in PA. He would fit into the dates of arriving in America in 1773 that my family had written into the family Bible about the 3 Carson brothers arriving in America in 1773. Our William was my family line's direct ancestor, Thomas (?) was the ancestor of Christopher "Kit" Carson's line, and a third brother started another line of Carsons. And all three brothers left PA and started moving across America in different directions. My line wandered toward Ohio, then some dropped dow! n into Nebraska and Kansas, then Oklahoma. I think my line was looking for the opening lands of the Great Plains. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It gets so confusing trying to figure all these people out when so many of them shared the same names....seems like ALL Carson families had a William, Samuel, James, John, etc. We just confused on WHICH William made the trip across the ocean from Ireland to America (first into PA, then migrating in various directions. Our family story probably is the same as many of yours. Three brothers from Ireland came to America in 1773 (PA). One of the brothers was WILLIAM (ancestor of my line), the other was Thomas (?) ancestor of the line that Christopher "Kit" Carson, and a third brother, name not known. All three went different directions. The only problem is that there were about 50 William Carsons who were the heads of families around that time in PA...that is our problem, plus the fact that many of the Irish records from! that time period were destroyed (fire?). So hopefully we are going to be able to narrow down our ancestor from Ireland by lots of Carson men taking the YDNA test. Here are my ancestors that I can prove. I will start with my own father and move back in history. My parents: Alvin Corlett CARSON (1911-1971) born and died in Enid, Garfield Co., OK m. Frances A. Seigler (1919-1999) born in Gilmer, TX died in Enid, OK. My grandparents: Evart Lee CARSON (1881-1956) b. Ohio d. Enid, OK m. Winnie Mae Corlett (1883-1972) b. Nebraska d. Enid, OK My great grandparents: Samuel Aten CARSON (1852-1928) b. Ohio d. ? OK? m. Rachel Maria Stoops (1855-194?) b. Ohio d.? My 2nd great grandparents: James Carson (1816-1888) b. Ohio d.? m. Jane Kerr (1819-1900) b. Ohio d. Iowa My 3rd great grandparents: William Carson (1776-1846) b. PA d. Ohio m. Margaret Beattie (1785-1869) b. PA d. Illlinois --------------------------------- DON'T KNOW FOR SURE...BUT THINK THE FOLLOWING COUPLE MIGHT BE THE NEXT GENERATION BACK. I do not have them linked to the previous William as the parents because I cannot prove it yet...but I think they are very likely his parents....so I will include them "just in case"....something to think about. The reason that I think it would be possible is that William and Margaret named one of their daughters Isabella...not a common Carson name. In the following "possible" family....the wife was Isabella Gilmore married William Carson, both from Ireland, both died in Ohio. So the son might have named one of his daughters after his mother, and his daughter's grandmother. NO PROOF of this though. ==================== POSSIBLY my 4th great grandparents: William Carson (1747-1829) b Ireland d. Ohio m. Isabella Gilmore (1747-1811) b Ireland d Ohio ============================= BUT, IN A FAMILY BIBLE I FOUND AN OBITUARY FOR A DIFFERENT WILLIAM CARSON. THIS IS WHO MY ANCESTORS THOUGHT WAS THE WILLIAM FROM IRELAND (or why else would they have his obit stuck in the old family Bible). William Carson (1735-1819) b. Ireland d. Chilicothe, Ross Co, Ohio. According to the obit published in the Chilicothe, Ross Co. Ohio newspaper in 1819, William Carson had died at the age of 85.

Author: truthseeker68 Surnames: CARSON Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.carson/2891.2.1.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: That's the problem, since I cannot "prove" which of the William Carsons that came to America in 1773 was MY ancestor, I can't prove who William (born 4 July 1776-died 30 Sept. 1846) siblings were. But there wasn't a Robert nor a Sarah Jane in any of the trees that I remember from that generation. I can tell you that William Carson (1776-1846) CHILDREN with Margaret Beattie (1795-1869) were....... Hugh B. Carson (1806-1881) William G. Carson (1808-1890) Samuel Carson (1809-1875) Elizabeth Carson (1811-1886) Ebenezer Carson (1813-1877) John Carson (1815-1816) James Carson (1816-1888) John B. Carson (1819-1863) Isabella Carson (1821-1893)*** Alexander B. Carson (1823-1898) Joseph C. Carson (1825-1898) Daughter Carson (1831-1831) -------------- But, hang in here with me for a minute (I know that all this is sooooo confusing...why didn't they name their children more unique names rather than the same family names over and over....but there is an exception.... There was one earlier William that I had in my tree that I THOUGHT was this William's father because he was born in Ireland in 1745 and died in Ross County, Ohio in 1829. He was married to Isabella Gilmore (1747-Ireland and died 1811 in Ross Co., Ohio). Looking at William (1776-1846) and Margaret's children...they named one of their girls "Isabella"...not a common female Carson's name....but it would make sense if she was named after her grandmother Isabella Gilmore Carson. So, naming a daughter after his own mother, and the child's grandmother, would make sense. So consider William Carson 1745-1829 and Isabella Gilmore (1747-1811) as the POSSIBLE PARENTS TO William (1776-1846)..... Just in case...here are the children that I have listed for William Carson (1745-1829) and Isabella Gilmore (1747-1811) : this would include William born 1776), Samuel 1773-1834) Elizabeth Betsy (1775-?) Agnes (1770-1862) Hugh (1782-1847) Alonzo (1784-1840) Ebenezer (1786-1863) Nancy (1792-?) James (1796-1854) Did I just confuse you more? At least it has a reasonable clue to take us back on more generation. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

He came to America with his parents, Samuel (farmer) and Ruth, and his siblings, Margaret, William, and Ruth, aboard the ship Kalamazoo, leaving from Liverpool, England and arriving on 1 October 1850 at the port of Philadelphia. I found a death record for a Ruth Carson, born in Ireland and living at 2113 Coral Street in Philadelphia, who died 8 December 1866 and was buried in Franklin Cemetery. I believe this is the above Ruth, wife of Samuel, but I'm not absolutely certain. I would appreciate very much if you could tell me where you found Ruth's and Rachel's maiden names.

Truthseeker, Don't get too excited.  I did the Y-DNA test through my father so I could determine which Uriah descended from which and such.  There's the NC Quaker Uriah line and there's my line from TN-IL and there was another line which I felt descended from the Quakers (the true Uriah Jr).  I thought that Y-DNA would sort it out.  Well, maybe at 64 or 150 or whatever large one they end up doing, but at 12, all three Uriah lines were perfect matches.  No paper trail left for these three lines.  Ah well. Anyway, it's possible you'll match with more than one because you're cousins with the other lines.  It's still great information to have.  You know there is a tie somewhere, you just likely will never have it with precision. ________________________________ I also am a female Carson, so I had my older brother to do the YDNA test for the Carson surname. I am very eager to get the results back.  I followed the line of Carsons that I THOUGHT were my line, but when it came to three William Carsons who all came to America around 177-1775...I got lost. I can "prove" my surname ancestors up to William Carson born in PA on 4 Jul 1776 (by entries in the old family Bible, but I cannot PROVE which of the multitude of Williams who came to America from Ireland in the 1770s was my William's father. I even checked with the LDS files and they said that they cannot find documentation (at this point) to say "for sure" which one would go with my direct line. I am hoping that when we get my brother's DNA test back that we might be able to actually figure out which William it was that brought MY line of the family to America. I had about 4 more generations put into my tree with the Carson ancestors, but I unlinked them since I have no proof of anyo! ne before William who was born in 1776. It gets frustrating....but I want to find the right person. Maybe if enough Carsons will do the YDNA testing, we can all come up with answers to this perplexing problem.

I'm glad I did it several years ago because I was able to stop "barking up the wrong tree".....i.e., wasting time researching Carson lineages whose YDNA is not at all similar to mine. Just a few matches can open up things. For example, I matched two descendants of Moses Carson born 1737, a presumed brother of my Robert Carson ancestor born c1730 based on them migrating from PA to NC together, "proved" that link (as much as it can be proved). Other close YDNA matches included descendants of John Carson born 1747 who came directly to Chester Co SC from Ireland 1767, William Carson born c1720 Ireland who came to Fayette Co PA, William Stewart Carson who was in Rowan Co NC, Robert Carson born 1717 died 1790s Chester PA (only son David, grandson Robert Carson moved to OH), and some others. These matches in turn link me via paper trail indicators several other Carson lines in PC, NC, SC, KY. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It can even be a distant Carson cousin as long as there is a paper trail back to the same male Carson ancestor. Many participants in the project were recruited by a female cousin or a male who links maternally to the Carson surname and thus can't do a YDNA test for the Carson lineage because his YDNA came from his father who isn't a Carson. The test involves swabbing inside the cheek using three swab sticks then mailing them back to the lab. The lab provides everything....it's easy.
