Samuel W. Carson of Cheviot, mail agent of the Great Eastern railroad from Cincinnati to Chicago, is the oldest member of his father's family, and was born January 1, 1816. In 1850 he went to California, being gone five years, and returning via Panama railroad, coming across the isthmus on the first train over that line. During the war he was provost marshal and afterwards for two years was revenue collector. In 1856 he was assigned a position in the mail service on the Great Eastern railroad from Cincinnati to Chicago, which position he still retains. Mr. Carson is a descendant from a remarkable (page 305) family of old settlers and otherwise noted people, who came from the east about 1804 and settled near Cheviot. They were the first pioneers, and consequently were the first to erect school-houses, churches, establish roads, and otherwise improve the country. Mr. Carson lives comfortably in a nice homestead in Cheviot. --Taken from http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~usbios/Ohio/hamilton_co/b00016.html#swcarson
