Shirley, My gr-gr-grandfather was named John Carson. I'm wondering if this could possibly be the same John you mention as the son of your John? My gr-grandfather's name was William Carson. So, those two names fit. My John was born in 1851 and my William in 1880. Can you tell me more about yours? Thanks, Steve Virginia, USA

What state are you talking about for the William Carson? My g-g-g-grandfather was William. I am lead to believe he came to Northwest Virginia (West Virginia) from Maryland.
