Notes:
He had a farm in Lebanon on River Rd. in sight of the bridge over the Salmon Falls River at East Rochester. Roger Gray says the farm was on the corner of the old River Road and the old county road that ran from East Rochester across the bridge over the Salmon Fall River, once called Garland's Bridge, and then east to Sanford, ME. The farm was on the east side of River Rd. and must have run north along the road for about a half mile. A little way up River Rd. on the right (going north) is an old abandoned building on a little rise (if it hasn't been torn down). This was the old school house and was on a lot taken from the farm. He was an elder and preacher (unpaid) of the Free Will Baptist Church.
He presided at the marriage of some of his children including Eliza and Jeremiah Shorey.
In 1992 an old account book was found in the attic of an old house in Lebanon, ME. The book was in fairly good condition, and Roger Gray and Mabelle Corson were able to borrow it for examination. The book was the property of Rev. Charles Corson, and had been primarily used by him to record the accounts of his customers who had brought wool to be carded in a mill set up by Charles. The mill is described in "The History of East Rochester, NH: by Arlene Stone, as a "grist mill and carding rolls." This was the beginning of the woolen industry in East Rochester. Actuall the mill was erected across the Salmon Falls River from East Rochester in South Lebanon.
The earliest date noted in the account book was 1815 and the mill data ends with the terse statement "Factory burned Oct. 18, 1857." Many of Charles Corson's customers paid for his wool carding services by goods and services; very little cash seems to have been available. It was in this mill - about 1841 - that his daughter, Harriet Corson, lost a hand; however, Harriet grew up to become the first school teacher in East Rochester.
"The History of East Rochester" states that in about 1847 two local businessmen bought what machinery Corson had, including the set of cards. Two years later they expanded the mill and began manufacture of blankets. This brings into question how long Charles had operated this mill.
