This is what I have on James Carroll of Harrison County, Kentucky Descendants of James Carroll Generation No. 1 1. James5 Carroll (Dempsey Porter4, Sanford3, Dempsey James2, Daniel1) was born August 11, 1820 in Kentucky, and died August 13, 1881 in Leeslick, Harrison County, Kentucky. He married Jane Ervin Hamilton December 07, 1842 in Kentucky, daughter of Thomas Hamilton and Martha Sanderson. She was born January 22, 1822 in Fayette County Kentucky, and died October 25, 1896 in Cynthiana, Harrison County, Kentucky. Notes for James Carroll: 1880 census of Leesburg, Harrison County, Kentucky shows that he has two black servants working for him. One is a Ms. Mariah Enoch? (ink is faded so it is difficult to read her last name). Mariah is an outstanding 100 years old at this time! It also states that Mariah takes care of the poultry raising. They also have under their roof a Mr. Franklin Watkins who is 20. It does not list Franklins occupation. The census reveals also that James cannot read or write. The only person that can read and write in the household is Mariah. There are only two members of this household that are attending school, Charles and the servant Franklin Watkins. This shows me that my great-great granparents were nice people. They did not cast out people and seemed to take in people as they went along. I think this has to be hereditary as I am one person who will 'take in the strays.'

I am looking for a James Carroll who was purported to have been in Warren County KY in 1833 where his son Henry Clay Carroll, my 2nd great grandfather was born. Henry Clay died in 1913 in Dallas County MO. His (Henry's) children's names were Mary, William, Cora Isabel (Called by Belle and Larrah), Sarah Jane (always called Jane) Charley (Charles Washington), Martha, John Riley (and more, can't remember names right now). On Henry Clay's death cert he lists his fathers name as Jas and his birth as Sept 1833 Warren Co, KY, supposedly from around Bowling Green) which we have always taken to mean James, but have hit all dead ends in research in Warren Co KY. Do not know the name of Henry Clay Carroll's mother or siblings. Hoping to make a connection Blessings Sherry Carroll Qualls
