Is there a Licking River in Ohio? If so, where? My gg-grandmother Missouri Carroll said that she was born next to the Licking River ---- in Jackson County, Indiana. While there is a Jackson County Indiana I cannot find a Licking River. It looks like her father, Samuel, fought in the War of 1812 in a regiment from Ross County which later became Licking County, Ohio, and then later moved to Jackson County, Indiana. No I wonder I maybe she had gotten a little confused and ran the tow together. Also does anyone know about Samuel Carroll, or any Carrolls in this are from the late 1700' to the early 1800's Thanks Gayle
