Surnames: Carson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.carson/913.1.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Good evening this Susan Carson is the older sister of my father. My father is the grandson of Erastus Carson, the great grand son of John Carson of hector, NY and the great great grandson of Samuel Carson who came from Ireland about 1795 and settled in Virgil in Cortland County, New York about 1802. We are always looking for info connecting our Samuel Carson to the other Carson families. It is quite possible that his father's name was John put we really have no proof. We know from his registration as an alien in 1812 the names of his children. He have them all identified but a William born about 1808 in Cortland County. Recently, there has been several post regarding Kit Carson, the frontiersman and different people relationships. Our family too has that tradition. I really would like to see our list all work together to identify all of our brick walls and connect our families. Marilyn
