I hope this information will be of help to some researchers. I found the
following Carsons listed in the army reference pages of the PRO.

1. WO97/505/11 Simon CARSON, born Carrukidmond [must mean Carrickedmond,
Tagsheenod] Longford, served in 32nd Foot Regiment, discharged aged 32,

The John Carson listed above is my g-g-grandfather who came to Augusta
Twp., Grenville Co., Ontario, Canada in 1845 after he retired. He married
Eliza Wynne, b. 1813 in Ballinakill, Queen's Co. in Grenada, W.I. He had
a brother named George Carson who was in Granby, Quebec, Canada by 1830
and a sister, Susan Carson who married James Leavy and was in Rhode Island
by 1831.
