The Samuel Carson you are refering to was a soldier with the 77th Regt. of Foot joining in Ballymena on 6 March 54. He was born in County Antrim, Ireland and had a very colourful history fighting in the Crimea, landing in Sydney in 1857 then joined the 12th and went to fight in the Maori wars in New Zealand, but I suppose you know that since you mention that he settled in Blayney in 1867.
