I found this reference for Carson and Maxwell land deed 1750...does anyone know about this? I believe this Carson/Carsan family were famous merchant shippers Strabane, NIreland with later affiliations in Philadelphia? Probably associated with the Dunlope, Cunnningham and Barclay families. Primary document: 60 Registry of Deeds, Dublin, vol. 100, p. 354, #70771, vol. 307, p. 396, #204220, vol. 380, p. 112, #252964. Samuel Carsan to Rev. John Maxwell, November 29, 1750 (Davey and Carsan Letterbook, LC). Belfast News Letter, December 27, 1763. Was this a land deed for dowry or inheritance to Rose Carson (wife of Rev John Maxwell and daughter of Robert Carson etc) Was Samuel Carson a brother to Rose Carson Maxwell? listed in references in book: Macmaster, Richard (2011-12-21).
