The Carsons are my husband's family and they are pretty hard to track down. He's descended from William's brother Samuel Kerr Carson. They both lived for a short time near Piper City, Ford Co. IL after they were first married. I have quite alot on the Carson family of IL and some from Brown County if you'd like to share any info. This is so exciting! Marguerite St. Joseph, IL
