This was shared on another list. At the following website http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/sanghist.htm there are excerpts from "History of Early Settlers in Sangamon County Illinois" by John Carroll Powers, pub by Edwin Wilson & Co., Illinois 1876. Since often the mother's maiden name becomes a middle name for a son or daughter, I thought this information might be of value to one of you. Also since the book was written over 125 years ago, it might possibly have some important CARROLL information, if there were CARROLLS in the area. Hope it is helpful to someone. Lura
