Joyce, Morning! I have just received, and copied out, a register report for the MADDOX family. This was sent to me by Denny & Marla from the web site. There is some info about Thomas CARROLL and Elizabeth GIBBS but I'm not sure it is correct. In reference to their marriage, they give a source as the "Clairborne Co., TN Marriages 1838-1935" by Mark Treadway, bk 5, pg 286. Since you mentioned checking for Clairborne marriages c 1892, I was wondering if you have this particular book? If so, will you check page 286 for me?
