Jane- I wish you the best of luck in your search for an American Carson. This is only a courtesy note since I can not help at all. My file of Carson ancestors go back to a George Carson who died in Pike County Mississippi USA in about 1840. Apparently they left Ireland before your ancestors did. Best of luck.
