You most definitely should look in NC for your missing Sterling. I did not keep all the info, but I think I have seen three. A book of abstracts of the 1820 census of Stokes County had listed a Herling Carroll. However someone looking at the census told me they are sure that is "Sterling". That is the only year he was listed in Stokes County. I believe one Sterling was in Johnston County, and I don't remember where the other one was. I also remember seeing a Starling Carroll in one county, which may actually be Sterling. Lura
