Write for more info: [email protected] My ancestor was Mary Carson born 1783. She married George Bratton. I do not know about her farmly. But George Bratton's brother was Paris Bratton who married Hannah Pierce in Butler Co, PA in 1800. George and Paris lived in York Co, PA and moved west. It is quite possible that George met Mary Carson around 1802 in Butler Co, PA. Do you know there were Carsons in Butler Co, PA that early?
