John CARSON and his wife, Ellen REILLY, lived in the townland of Cultiagh (parish - Derryvullan; district - Enniskillen). John is listed in Griffith's Valuation of Ireland 1847-1864 as an occupier of 23 acres. He was the father of 12 children (Philip H., Annie, Bridget, Charles, Ellen, Elizabeth, John, Mary, Michael, Rose, Francis, and Timothy) and the family was Roman Catholic. Most of the children came to the U.S. in the 1880's-1890's and settled in the Philadelphia area. John and his wife remained in Fermanagh. Family stories have me believe that both John and his wife both died shortly after their youngest son, Timothy, left for the U.S. in 1904. I have also been told that to this day there are still members of the Carson family living in the house that was located in what was once known as Cultiagh. John was said to have been a teacher but I have not been able to confirm this. Although I have much information on some of John's children, I do not have any details on his birth, parents, siblings, etc. John and Ellen were my GGGrandparents and I would love to learn more about them.
