Philip and Mary CARREL arrived in Jefferson County, Ohio from western Pennsylvania sometime between 1806 and 1812. By 1813 they had nine children who were John (born 1798), Mary (1801), Margaret (1802), Joseph (1804), Anthony Wayne (1806), Catherine (1807), Henry (1809), Jane (1811) and Philip Jr. (1813). Philip Carrel was killed on December 10, 1813 while in the Service of the United States (War of 1812). He died intestate and left no Will, and in 1814 his widow Mary relinquished her right to be Administrator of his Estate, whereupon the Court of Common Pleas appointed Ephraim Cellars as Administrator and John Wolf and several others as Appraisers. When Philip died in 1813 one of his sons, Anthony Wayne Carrel, who was 7-years old, was "bound out" to a tradesman and taken out of Jefferson county, probably to Licking County, Ohio where he was raised and later married Miss Balinda Root in 1826. The other eight children apparently remained with their mother until her death in 1818, and the court appointed James Terrence as guardian for five Carrel children in 1818 and 1819. The five were John, Mary, Margaret, Joseph and Catherine. Whatever happened to the three youngest children who were Henry, Jane and Philip Jr. is not known. Anthony Wayne Carrel and Balinda Root raised eight children of their own in Licking County, Ohio and they are my ancestors. After the 7-year old Anthony was separated from his brothers and sisters in 1813 and taken to another part of the state, there was apparently never any further contact between them, as Anthony never spoke of his brothers and sisters, nor even apparently knew their names. He apparently did remember his parent's names since he named his first son Philip and his first daughter Mary, and he remembered his birth date. His eight brothers and sisters may not have later remembered Anthony's name, but only that they may have had a brother once but he disappeared as a child a long ago. The separation was complete. The above information concerning Anthony's parents and siblings was unearthed recently in documents found at the Courthouse in Steubenville. I am seeking any information about the children of Philip and Mary Carrel of Jefferson County, Ohio and their descendants. They are the "lost" family of my ggg grandfather Anthony Wayne Carrel (later spelled Carroll). Thank you! Eric Olson ericbear@flash.net
