Her great grandfather was Daniel Carroll born 1850 in Georgia, this family eventually moved to Indiana and Ohio. I am interested in finding other Black families with the surname Carroll who might be from this line. Oral family history says her great grandmother was Native American but we have only a first name Adeline born 1863 in Georgia. Any help would be appreciated.

Author: southard Surnames: CARROLL, CARRELL, CARROL, HERRING Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.carroll/7169/mb.ashx Message Board Post: In the last few days I have become aware of a relationship I didn't know existed between my gggg-grandfather, Dempsey CARROL or CARRELL, Sr. and Abraham HERRING. The following items were from the Sampson County, NC court records, but since this was so soon after Sampson was formed from Duplin County, I feel it might affect both counties. <<< From: "Sampson County Will Abstracts 1784-1900" by Elizabeth E. Ross Herring, Abraham prob. 10 Feb. 1791 * Sampson Co. Court Minutes - 10 May 1791, Martha Herring widow of Abraham Herring dissents from the Will of her husband. 10 Aug. 1791 Admr, was granted to John Boyt with the Will annexed, bond L1200. (add. into NC Arch. file #87.508.26 - Inv. & sale documents in file) No will found in Sampson Records. >From Court Records: 15 FEBRUARY 1791, Tuesday HERRING WILL: The last will and testament of Abraham Herring was proved and ordered registered. 13 FEBRUARY 1793, Wednesday CARETAKER of CHILD: Ordered that Dempsey Carrell and his wife Martha keep in their possession a Negro woman called Jude for the full maintenance of her son, Abraham Herring. 13 AUGUST 1794, Wednesday ORPHAN'S LAND: Ordered that Dempsey Carroll have leave to cultivate the cleared land belonging to the orphan of Abraham Herring, deceased, that he keep the same in good repair, and not make use of the timber thereon except for fencing. Also that he pay all taxes which may be assessed. 14 FEBRUARY 1797, Tuesday HERRING GUARDIAN: Ordered that Dempsey Carroll be allowed 36 pounds and 4 shillings for his services as guardian to a minor child of Abraham Herring, deceased, up to this term of court. 12 NOVEMBER 1798 HERRING GUARDIAN: Dempsey Carroll exhibited to this court an account, praying as guardian to a minor child of Abraham Herring, deceased, that he be allowed payment for services done said child. Ordered therefore he be allowed 15 pounds from the estate. 13 MAY 1801, Wednesday Ordered that Stephen King, Hardy Holmes and Benjamin Carr be a committee to settle the estate of Abraham Herring, an orphan, with the guardian Dempsey Carroll, and deliver the orphan to the present guardian James Oates.<<<<<< I would like to learn: - - Why was Dempsey Carrell chosen to be guardian of young Abraham Herring? Was there a family relationship between the two families, since that was sometimes the case? Was Martha Carrell perhaps a sister of the deceased Abraham Herring? - - Could a slave own land? - - Did Abraham Herring set Jude and young Abraham free before he died? - - Whatever became of Abraham Herring, Jr. and his mother? These court items are all I know at the present time. My main interest is in the genealogy and life of Dempsey and Martha Carrell, but I have an intellectual curiosity about the lives of those around them. Thanks for any added information.

I have traced my Carroll family back to the 1700s in Alexandria,VA. I ran into a wall when I went to the library in Alexandria and found that James Carroll had been orphaned even though his mother was listed as living. At around age 9 she placed him in an apprenticeship with a shoe maker in Alexandria so that he could earn a trade. When he became of age he went to live with a relative who was a tobacconist. His mother was listed as Elizabeth Carroll (her maiden name was not mentioned.) This James grew up in the Alexandria area and as an adult was very involved in helping to retrive the VA land the federal government decided not to use as part of the nation's capital(Alexandria, because it was across the Potomac.) If any of this rings a bell, please contact me. I have documents to prove he is my ancestor but cannot go past his James to find his father who might have come here from Ireland since it would be the very early 1700's or late 1600's. The most prevalent male names in our Carroll are: James, Charles, George and Arthur. Any help would be beneficial. I hope to return to Alexandria next year to search some more. Thank you.

He was living near Elisha Carroll and Sarah Brown Carroll that came to Georgia between 1820 and 1830. They are listed in the Wilkinson County (adjacent to Twiggs County), Georgia census in 1830. Two (2) Carrolls, Nedham and William B. Carroll, are living nearby and meet the age brackets for male children of Elisha. There is no will or other data to determine that they are his children at this point. It is possible that he returned to Noth Carolina, as per the previous posts; however, there is no proof of this, to my knowledge.

Author: bjjody Surnames: Carroll Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.carroll/3612.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Dear Carroll Family researcher, My father's name was James Garfield Carroll. He passed away in 1998 at age 90. His father was William M. Carroll. William also had a brother Garfield. For a year or so I have been attempting to locate more information on my Grandfather William (called "Sherdy") who was born in 1876. The Sherdy or Sherod could have been a nickname because later official records (except one census record of 1900 with the name Sherod) list him as William M. Carroll. He was raised in Campbell County, TN. William's parents were James Carroll and Elizabeth "Polly" (Morgan) Carroll. Supposedly, William's grandparents (James' parents) were W.H. Carroll and DORA (PERKINS) Carroll; William's maternal grandparents were J.F. Morgan and Sarah (Smith) Morgan. From family I learned that some of the kin lived in the Duff community of Campbell County. Also, from family I learned that supposedly, Grandfather William had brothers Tom, Joe and Garfield. The more recent knowledge of Grandfather William is that he was employed by the L&N Railroad in Corbin, KY, beginning his job in 1900. He lived both in Knox and Whitley County, KY (both with Corbin addresses). He was married to Nannie Rains (in 1901) (her father, Squire Rains; mother, Millie Carr) of Whitley County (near Williamsburg) and they had 9 children. Grandfather William died in 1939. So far, after searching thousands of records in Campbell County and surrounding counties, I have found no census records, marriage record or any records with James Carroll and Elizabeth (Morgan) Carroll with their family. Since my Grandfather William was born in 1876, I would think his parents were born in the time frame of 1834-1858, probably near the early 1850s, if he was one of their older children. I have found literally tens of William Carrolls and James Carrolls in Campbell County, TN but none meeting the correct criteria.. Of course, with so many William and James Carrolls on TN files and not knowing complete names of my Carroll ancestors, it is complicated. I would love to learn the ancestors of my grandfather so if you possibly have knowledge of his family, I would be appreciative of any information you can share with me.

What I would do is since we know Needham was in Brunswick 1840, 1850 & 1860, we can assume he'll still be there. I'd go back to ancestry, type in Carroll in NC, no first name. Be sure to use the soundex method. After sifting through the thousands of Carroll's that way, you might find: 1870 Federal Census- Town Creek, Brunswick, NC (PO Smithville) indexed as Nudom Carrol, Needom age 57 b. NC occupation- farmer Louisa age 30 b. NC Palmer age 11 b. NC Elizabeth age 8 b. NC Andrew age 2 b. NC 1880 Federal Census- District 28 Town Creek, Brunswick, NC Carroll, Needham W. age 59 b. NC occupation- farmer Louisa E. age 41 wife b. NC Elizabeth B. age 18 daughter b. NC Andrew J. age 12 son b. NC Margaret J. age 6 daughter b. NC Lorenzo age 5 son b. NC I just re-read this and if I sound a little cocky, I'm not meaning too. I'm just trying to help others learn some good methods. There's a definate need to use your imagination, gut instincts & clues. Based on all these census records, we now know that Needham married first Mary born about 1821 NC, they had Eliza A. b. 1846 & Mary b. 1849. Then he married Louisa E. b.1839 NC and they had Palmer b. 1859, Elizabeth B. b. 1862, Andrew J. 1867, Margaret J. b. 1874 & Lorenzo b. 1875. We also know that it looks like Needham had siblings Uriah b. 1825, Joel b. 1827 & Elender b. 1832. Everyone was born in NC, probably Brunswick Co. Also from these records, it looks like Needham's parents are James Carroll b. 1797 NC & Zilpha b. 1796 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

If you put "Needham Carroll" in the search window and do a soundex search, the results bring up any Needham's with a surname that sounds like Carroll. So in other words, the soundex search only brings up the last names. It doesn't search "sounds like" Needham. So here's where you have to get creative...think southern accent, southern drawl and possible Irish accent. I just did that. Here's what I found... 1840 Federal Census- District 356 Twiggs, GA Needham Carroll 1 male under age 5 1 male age 20-30 1 female age 5-10 1 female age 20-30 1850 Federal Census- Town Creek, Brunswick, NC Carrell, Zilphy age 54 b.
