Hello Josette and Listers: I believe we have corresponded before about the Carson surname in Franklin and Cumberland counties, PA. My great-grandfather Robert Thomson (1815--1883) born and died in Allegheny Co., PA, was married to Ellen B. Carson (1831--1898). Ellen was born in Butler Co., PA, according to her death certificate, but was raised in Allegheny Co., PA, Allegheny City. Robert was the fifth child born to James Thomson (1772--1847) born in Lurgan Twp., Cumberland Co., PA/ now Green Twp., Franklin Co., PA. James migrated into western PA, Ross Twp., Allegheny Co., PA with wife Nancy Wright (b.c. 1776--d.c. 1815) in March 1807 where James was a sicklemaker by trade. Ellen B. Carson's parents were James Carson (1800, Carlisle, PA--1875, Old Allegheny, Allegheny Co., PA) and Mary Geer (1810 Cumberland PA--1885 Old Allegheny, Allegheny Co. PA. Both are buried in the Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh, PA, with Robert Thomson and his wife Ellen B. nee Carson Thomson. These dates of birth and death are taken from the archives of the Allegheny Cemetery. [NOTE: This couple's fifth child, my maternal grandfather was Richard Barkley Thomson (1875--1931, born and raised in Allegheny Co., PA). The "Barkley" middle name for Richard was undoubtedly a family name passed on, but my Mother never knew from which side. Have always wondered if Ellen's middle initial "B" stands for Barkley, and if it is from the Geer side of the family.] I have been at a dead end for years on who James Carson's (1800--1875) parents and siblings were, as well for his wife Mary nee Geer Carson (1810--1885). Am willing to share what I have about these families, and would so appreciate hearing from anyone with further details about the CARSON GEER THOMSON and WRIGHT families in Cumberland or Franklin Cos., PA. Marybeth Corrigall northeast Ohio acmbjc@aol.com ========================================================================================== Would greatly appreciate it if you could look for the surnames Maxwell and Carson. How early are we talking about? My Maxwells/Carsons left the area by circa 1790. Would also apprciate your looking for Andrew Morrison and his wife whose name may be Helen. Died circa 1830.

She was born in 1886 Possibly Rome New York. There has been different information in this, some of it says Malden Mass. There could be a possibility of Atlantic City New Jersey. Agnes married Owen Garrigan and then Married Samuel Edgar O'Donnell. After Samuel passed away she married a Monroe. Agnes Passed away in Oakland California in 1940. Very little is known of Agnes's life. It is said that she had a child out of wed lock in 1925 and used her maiden name of Agnes Wright at the Salvation Army Hospital In Oakland California. The child was named Mary Wright, the Birth Certificate has a George Wilson with the occupation of waiter as the father. It lists Gerorge Wilson as living in Los Angeles California. If anyone has information on Agnes Wright/Yates/Garrigan/O'Donnell/Monroe can contact me at my personal e-mail acso585@pacbell.net.
