Don't rule out any surname that is spelled different from yours. Remember years ago not all people knew how to write. For the ones that knew how to write they spelled like it sounded whether from NY or the South. Have you been using the census records for research on your Carroll's? Can't get much better than a census record in my humble opinion. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
