John Henry Carse was s/o Henry & Elizabeth (Park) Carse. John Henry & Sarah Elizabeth (Daniels) Carse had Joseph Wentworth, Eloise, Mary "Polly", Dolly, Lela, Earle Russell, John Fillius, Jenny Daniels and Eleanor Carse.

Ref: The University of Iowa Alumni Department, Iowa City, IA (319-335-3298) confirmed that John Henry Carse graduated in June 1870 with a degree in B. D. (Bachelor of Didactics) with an education major. The first class graduated in 1859. He later lived in Fairfield, IA and still later was listed as a Merchant in Council Bluffs, IA.

Ref: (Gail Thompson) John Henry Carse was in the first or one of the first graduating classes at the University of IA, Iowa City, IA. He was a schoolteacher. He taught in a school where Negroes were admitted. The natives were very wild and shot through his window; the bullet striking the bedstead. (These were from notes sent by Ms. Gail Thompson).

Ref: (Catherine Carse Champion) John Henry Carse and Elizabeth (Daniels) Carse were the parents of Joseph Wentworth, Eloise, Lela, Dolly, Jennie, John and Earle.

My Grandfather, John Carse was in the first graduating class at the University of Iowa, where he met Elizabeth Daniels, also a student there. He later became a teacher in Iowa. I know very little of my Father's family as we had no contact with them after he died when I was a child of eight years.

The earliest record I know of the Carse family is 1415, at which time they left Scotland, in, or near Dundee in Perthshire, with the Reverend Livingston and emigrated to Ireland, settling about 15 miles out of Belfast. This move was because of religious persecution. They were staunch Presbyterians always.

The "Carse Lands" or farming lands is in the Lowlands, i.e., southeastern part, not far from Glasgow. I checked the telephone book in Glasgow and found 14 Carse families listed there. The ancient spelling of this name may have been Kerse.

Family names are Johnstone, Russell, Stuart, Parke, Love, Daniels and General "Mad" Anthony Wayne of revolutionary war fame. Martha Washington's first cousin was into the Parke Curtis family; any relationship is unknown to me.

My great-grandmother, Annis (Love) Daniels was married to Joseph Daniels. I remember her as a very handsome woman, as she lived to be 90 years old, and died here in California. The rest of the Carse family lived in and about Omaha, NE.
