In 1850, the family is living in Milford, Pennsylvania, and this census listing shows that Phebe, George, and Charles were all born in Pennsylvania rather than New Jersey, which was on the original profile information.[1]
The transcription of the 1880 Census at FamilySearch shows this family with the last name of "Carson," and the written version shows "Corson."[2]
