1 Brother of Ernest Crawford Carson, Conservative MLA for Lillooet. Both became cabinet ministers in their respective governments. Their father, Virginian Robert Carson, came west via the Sierra Nevada passes to California and, coming north for the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, homesteaded on Pavilion Mountain on one of BC's earliest ranches. He sold it to Captain John Martley, who was a candidate in the Lillooet riding in 1878 and whose descendants still own it today. |
