Millwright, weaver & inn keeper of The Saint's Rest.
Grandfather of Hugh Young.
From the records of The Painted Hills Genealogical Society. BROWNLEE CEMETERY. Portage Twp., Potter County, PA.
=========================================
From: History of the Counties of McKean, Elk, Cameron and Potter, Pennsylvania, J.H. Beers & Co., 1890, CH. XVIII, SYLVANIA TOWNSHIP:
The first settlement at the mouth of Freeman's run was made in 1835- 30 by the weaver, William Carson and wife, Scotch- Irish people and members of Quaker Webb's Upper Sinnemahoning colony. The Carson cabin was given the name "The Saint's Rest," and the grist- mill (a little log affair) "The Settlers' Hope." This mill stood, until recently, at the upper end of the great tannery grounds, while the race forms part of the water- supply system of the tannery. This mill was built by Carson for Webb, the only one of many of his proposed manufacturing industries brought into existence. In 1837 he had a town, Sylvania, surveyed on the site of the present town of Costello, and a short time afterward a small log building was erected to point out the center of settlement as well as for school purposes. Grounds for cemetery purposes were also set apart at that time.
