Looking for information about James CARSON, b. 1800 Carlisle, Cumberland Co., PA; married to Mary GEER, b. 1810, Cumberland Co., PA. I have recently found an obituary for this couple's second child, Ann Virginia CARSON BALL (1837--1908) that state she was born in Butler Co., PA; Ann died in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co., PA and was married to Nicholas BALL. This couple had seven children: Mary/Molly; James; Arthur C.; Frank; Ellen/Nellie; Harriet/Hattie; and Cora Nancy. Surnrames of spouses of the daughters include: McKee; McClellan; and Montgomery. Ann was a younger sister of my greatgrandmother, Ellen B. nee CARSON THOMSON (1831--1898). Would certainly like to hear from any descendants of this family, or possible connections. Many thanks.
