    3. Hello Listmembers! I would like to know more about my CARROLL ancestors! Here is what I know so far.... My maternal grandmother, Sarah Ada Celina Lou Flora CARROLL, b. 8 Apr 1892, Gibson Co, TN, m. Artee Varden DUFF (b. 9 Apr 1887, Perry Co, TN) on 24 Dec 1907, in Perry Co, TN. They are both buried in Leeper Cemetery in Lobelville, Perry Co, TN. She d. 13 Sep 1968 and he died 4 Jun 1964. The story I have been told is that her mother named her after all of her sisters who were arguing over who the baby girl would be named after. She was called Ada all her life, and us grandkids called her "Mama Duff". Ada's parents.... Father - John C. CARROLL, b. 1 Apr 1862, d. 6 Aug 1910, Perry Co, TN. mar. on ??? to ... Mother - Francis E. ???, b. 24 May 1859, d. 1 Dec 1928, Perry Co, TN. Both are buried in Curry Cemetery in or near Lobelville, Perry Co, TN. I do not know the names of either of their parents. Do you recognize them? Ada had seven siblings.... Edward D., b. Jul 1882; Elva, b. Oct 1885; Nicholas, b. Mar 1888; Addie, b. Nov 1890; Ben, b. abt 1890; James Quintin, b. 1894; and Ollie O., b. 18 Dec 1899. I also know she had many cousins who also lived in Tennessee. I have pictures of some of them during WWII, and a very old picture of Ben CARROLL. My aunt said she thought Ben had died in young adulthood. Please let me know if you have any other info on my CARROLL family! Donna Reynolds Tennessee
