BIOGRAPHICAL
REV. JAMES G. CARSON. D. D.
For a third of a century the pastor of the Second United Presbyterian church of Xenia. Rev. James Gillespy Carson, has been well known throughout this portion of the state where his labors have been effective in promoting the intellectual development of the community, his influence being of no re- stricted order. He commands not only the highest respect of his own people but of all denominations, and has attained considerable distinction as a leading divine in the United Presbyterian ministry. Arriving in Nenia in December, 1869, his consecrated life, zeal and untiring efforts have been the means of greatly increasing the numerical and spirit- ual strength of his church and his life his- tory forms no unimportant chapter of the history of the moral progress of Greene county.
Rev. Carson was born near Maryville. Blount county, Tennessee, on the rith of February, 1833. a son of the Rev. David and Jane Walker ( Gillespy ) Carson, the former a native of Franklin county, Penn- sylvania, and the latter of Blount county, Tennessee. At an early age the father was graduated in Jefferson college and then con- tinued his studies under the direction of Dr. John M. Mason, of the Associate Reformed church for three years, while later Dr. Jo-
seph Banks, of Philadelphia, of the Asso- ciate church, was his preceptor. His first pastorate was in a church near Maryville, Tennessee, where he remained for nine years, and in 1833 he was elected professor of the Associate Presbyterian Seminary, at Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania. The school was afterward removed to Nenia, and in July, 1834. Rev. David Carson removed to the north to assume his duties in the sem- inary, but on the 25th of September of the same year, before taking up the work of his professorship, he was called to his final home. In the family were three children, the eldest being Dr. David Walker Carson, of Burgettstown, Pennsylvania ; James G., of this review; and Ellen J .. who died in May, 1858, at the age of twenty-three years. The paternal grandfather, David Carson, cmigrated from Ireland, it is believed, as early as 1784 and settled at Greencastle, Pennsylvania, where he followed the tailor's trade. His wife hore the maiden name of Jane Oliver and was a granddaughter of the Rev. James Fisher, author of Fisher's cate- chism, and the great-granddaughter of Eben- ezer Erskine, one of the founders of the United Presbyterian church.
The maternal grandfather of the Rev. James G. Carson was James Gillespy. who was born in Augusta county. Virginia, in 1772, and about 1,80 removed with his

parents to Tennessee, where he became a prominent farmer and politician, represent- ing his district in the general assembly, and a member of the constitutional convention of that state. Ile married Eleanor Cowan. She had an aunt who was captured by the Shawnee Indians in Tennessee and was con- veved by them to Old Chillicothe, now Okl- town, Greene county, Ohio, where she was assisted to escape by the Indian chief, who sent her across Lake Erie on the ice to De- troit, whence she was taken to Pittsburg and from there down the river to Maryville. thus being returned to her home after an ab- sence of seven years. Her husband was killed at the time she was captured but she secured his scalp, which had been taken by the Indians and carried it in her bosom. Subsequently she was again married and was captured the second time by the Indians- this time by the Cherokee tribe-with whom she remained two years in Georgia, when her old neighborhood having captured some of the tribe, an exchange was made and her release secured.
