Hannah K. (Brown) Carson was born 14 January 1818 at Mount Vernon, Maine, the daughter of Nathan Brown, Jr., and Mary (Kimball) Brown. On 4 November 1841 at Mount Vernon, Maine, Hannah married James Carson, son of James and Mary Polly (Greeley) Carson. James Jr. was born at Mount Vernon, Maine, on 14 March 1811.
