    Note: This Esther Carson does not appear with Thomas of Alexander. She may be an illegitimate child of one of the daughters of Samuel W. Carson of North Marysburgh Twp. Herbert Carson is similar, b. 1862 - mentions Mary Carson as a mother, but no docs.10
  • Census: 6 April 1891; Brighton Twp., Northumberland East Co., Ontario; Age 31 at 1891 Census: see George Breckenridge (grandfather??)
    Note: Hester Carson is with George L. Breckenridge in both 1881 and 1891 Census. In 1891 she is shown to be "G. D." which means grand daughter. This means that Hester is a child of one of George's children. My guess would be Mary Carson (1843-1883), although Mary would have been only 15 at the time of Hester's birth in 1858. Also consider Herbert Carson in the same context. (Dan Buchanan, Jan 3 2024)11
