Benjamin married Nancy A. ? CARSON daughter of David CARSON and Margaret ELLIS about 1834/1835 in prob Butler Co, Ohio. Nancy was born about 1812 in Ohio. She died in Mar 1876/1878 in Keokuk County, Iowa. She was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Sigourn, Keokuk, Iowa.

Since Ben and Nancy named their first son David, it would make sense that her father's name was David, however, it has not been proven that David Carson was her father.

Although it has been passed down through the family that Nancy was related to Kit Carson, no connection has been found. Kit Carson's family lived in North Carolina, Kentucky and Howard County Missouri and, as far as I can tell, only one member of that family was in Butler Co, OH - Joseph Harvey Linn Carson was there in 1803 - his son Abner was born in Butler, OH in 1803. Abner was found in the 1830 census living in Union, Butler, OH. Joseph, his father, was not there, but a Joseph Carson was found in Wheeling, Belmont, OH, and he was the right age and had 2 unidentified females age 15-20 in his household. One of them could have been Nancy. Joseph's first wife, Mary Henderson, died before 1805 and Joseph remarried to Mary Leonard. Joseph and Mary Henderson had a daughter Nancy born in 1801 - she married Morgan Roop. Therefore, he has been ruled out as the possible father of our Nancy because it is unlikely that he would name another daughter "Nancy". Joseph Harvey Linn Carson did have a brother named William who was born Aug 6, 1785 in Bedford, Virginia. No information is known about him and there were several William Carsons in Butler Co, OH at the time of Nancy's birth and marriage. It is possible that Nancy was the daughter of Joseph's brother William, but there were too many William Carsons in the census records to determine which one he might be - if at all. It's also possible that her father was related to Joseph and died before her marriage - she may have been one of those unidentified 15-20 year-old females in his household in 1830 - about 4 yrs before her marriage.

We know that Clara Lucille Fowler (Benjamin's gr-daughter) married Ira Lee Branson in Taos, New Mexico, the home of Kit Carson, in 1898. Living there in 1900 was the family of Henry Smith Stevens who was married to Benjamin Fowler's daughter, Hannah Ann Fowler.

Another coincidence has recently been discovered. In 1850 Kit Carson's older brother, Robert, was living in Sonoma County, California. In 1860 Kit's younger brother, Lindsey, was living in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California and so was Robert. They and their descendants remained in that general are until at least 1880 and some of them probably beyond 1900. This is where Ira and Clara Branson settled and lived for many years. Ira Lee Branson, became the County Roadmaster for that county between 1910 and 1914. Kit Carson's relatives circulated in Missouri, New Mexico and Colorado prior to the 1900's and so did the Fowlers, the Bransons and the Stevens. We simply don't know if there was some connection - other than perhaps a friendship between these families. The fact that Clara Fowler was married in Taos, NM where Kit Carson was reknowned, lived in Colorado where he circulated - and the fact that two of his brothers were in Sonoma County, California before Ira and Clara moved there - may add up to just a huge coincidence - or not! Ira played a role in making improvements to offshoots of the Sante Fe Trail prior to 1910. This trail was used extensively by travelers going south.

NOTE: Jacob Carson who was living in Marion, Indiana in 1850 - same county as Nancy and Benj - Jacob lived in Ohio in 1830:

Email from descendant:
I am writing to you, in the moment, in a state of shock. I have been desperately searching for ancestry on my mother's side of the family. My GG Grandfather is James C. Fowler born in Brown County Ohio, 11 February, 1818. He married Eliza R. Davidson on 3 April 1851. She was born 27 December 1831. Nobody on my mom's side of the family had anything further back than James C. Fowler. I have info on his descendants. I also have his exact date of death as 12 January 1896, in Valley Falls, Jefferson County, Kansas. I also have pictures of their grave sites. Any more infor that you could send to me would be greatly appreciated.
I noticed that your email addy is oregongal, I was born and raised in Roseburg, Oregon.
Thanks for your help.

In the 1830 OH census, Reilly Twp., Butler Co., a Matthias HANBY (b.
1750-60) and a John HANBY (b. 1800-1810) were enumerated. Who were they???

There was a William HANBY who was a trustee of Otterbein College, and a

When William's son, Benjamin Russell HANBY (1833 Rushville, Fairfield Co.
OH -1867) was orphaned, he was bound out. He m. Mary Kay WINTER, became a
principal at the Academy in Seven Mile, Butler Co. and lived in Westerville
1853-1867. This is who wrote "Up on the Housetop," "My Darling Nellie Gray"
and other songs to boost his meager income. The songs were published in
Chicago. I have not visited his home, which was turned into a museum.
