Alexander and Isabella Browne Carswell, whose ancestors had earlier fled strife-torn Scotland for Ireland, emigrated to America with their six children in 1772. Their children were Edward, 17; Agnes, 15; John, 12; Alexander Jr, 10; James, 7; and Mathew, 4. The family settled near here and helped the American Colonies win their independence. Their descendants eventually numbered many thousands.
