My gggg grandfather is said to have been killed in the War of 1812. His son Anthony Wayne Carroll (Carrel) was born in western PA in 1806, raised in central OH, and married Balinda Root in Licking Co., OH in 1826, and raised a large family there near Granville. I am searching for any clues as to the identity of Anthony Wayne Carroll's parents and siblings. I suspect his father may have been the Philip Carroll listed as a military death in the War of 1812, with Captain Robert Gilmore's Company from OH, county unknown (but probably Jefferson). Only two Carrolls of any spelling are listed as known casualties of that war who were Philip Carroll and St. Clair Carroll. My Anthony Wayne Carroll named his first son Philip, which was never a given name in his wife's family, and so I am led to think he may have named his first son after his father. On the other hand family legend has it that Anthony Wayne, whose father was killed when he was a boy, may have been adopted or raised by a family in central OH named Carroll (Carrel) and he may have taken their surname as his own. It is also said that Anthony Wayne (Carroll) had many siblings, all of whom remain unknown. I am searching for any information about Philip Carroll or Anthony Wayne Carroll of OH or western PA during the years 1806-1826.

Their are three Hercules' listed. The first married Sarah Wheeler. His son, Hercules married Mary Tate Jones. If I follow the author correctly, Thomas, a brother to the first Hercules also had a son, Hercules who married Catherine West. The Ferguson book literally give one page on the Carrolls, and they have been an elusive crew. I did not see mention of a Anthony or Phillip. Can you possibly tie them to OH, or NJ, which is where these Carrolls seem to have settled?
