    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Carroll/Needham/Kelly/Carlisle Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1hH.2ACEB/3526 Message Board Post: Still seeking information on Grandparents. My mother said her father Charles William Carroll was born in Virginia sometime in the 1800's probably 1840-1860, she said he was born in Roanoake or Richmond, his first wife, whos name is unknown to me produced at least one child named Olie Carroll, Olie married Commodore Kelly in Ada OK on 2/1/1903. Charles William Carroll then later married my Grandmother Ida Leona Needham who was born 7/13/1885 in Dyer County TN. Ida had also previously been married to a man whos last name was Nixon and they had at least one child my half uncle Joe or Joseph Nixon. Charles William Carroll and Ida Leona Needham/ Nixon are thought to have been married in Texas as that is where my mother Bertha Faye Carroll was born on 9/22/20, and my Aunt Gertrude Gaye Carroll was born in Dec of 1921. Bertha married a Max Carlisle and they had one son named Charles Clinton Carlisle who was born 7/31/39 in Uvalde TX. She later changed her name to Jonny Faye Carroll! and Gertrude dropped the name Gertrude and just went by Gaye. Charles William Carroll was supposedly shot in the head as his hat was mistaken for a crow by some youngsters out crow hunting and he is buried in Texas somewhere, he would have died in 1935 as mother said she was 15 when grandpa died. If any of this sounds familiar please feel free to email me or post a message on the board. Thank you peace love light and eternal grooviness to all
