Alma, I am not sure if this will be any help to you. I have been going back thru some old e-mails this week. I remembered the Absalom name as that was my , G.Grandfathers & Grandfathers middle name.(Thomas Absalom Dutton) It is one you don't hear very often. I found in an e-mail I received in 2/1999, the following: CARROLL, ABSALOM born 1762 - Johnston Co.NC died ca 1828 MS married as wife #4-S.C. ca 1800 Eleanor Robinson This could possibly be the son of your Absalom who came from Ireland. Let me know if this is any help. Jackie in Shingle Springs, CA. Researching: Hollingsworth, Carroll, Fryar, Gavin, Chesnutt, Gregory, in NC Dasher, Bird, Hagan, Dutton, Foy in GA.

Jackie: Thanks for the reply. Yes this must be the same Absalom. I show He had 11 children. I'm not sure how they are divided among his four wives. I had not verified any data on Absaloms date/place of birth. This helps me a lot. If you need any information on other Carrolls....I have a considerable amount of data. Thanks very much.
