A good source for this line is John A Brayton's book, "Colonial Families of surry and Isle of Wight Counties, Virginia , Vol 2: the descendants of Robert Harris. In his book he explains how difficult it is to follow the Carrell (Carroll) descendants as there were several brothers all with similar names. However. in 1704 it was necessary for Mary Carrell to prove she was the daughter of a John Spiltimber; in the documents recorded, it was proven she was born ca. 1684, so it is doubtful she marries a Thomas Carrell who was born in 1704. These Carrells are my ancestors and I have done quite a bit of research on them.
