My name is James Carroll, and I am a DNA contributor (waiting for Batch 101
to be completed to obtain markers 25-37). My fourth great grandfather was
Michael Carroll, born about 1770. He was married in Orange County, North Carolina
20 February 1787, and died in the same county 4 January 1824. His son Moses was
born 13 November 1789 in Orange County, had a large family born in Orange
County, and later migrated to Georgia in 1834, eventually settling in Carroll
County, Georgia.
Like the Carrolls mentioned in Duplin County, North Carolina, there were
several other Carrolls living in Orange County, NC with whom Michael was
associated by various documents, but we have never been able to firmly establish his
exact relationship with these other Carrolls, nor determine definitely who his
parents were.
I suspect that the Carrolls enumerated by Lura in Duplin County, 70 miles to
the southeast, had some connection with the Carrolls of Orange County. It will
be interesting to see what the full test results show.
Anyone please feel free to contact me if you would like to exchange
information or have questions. And yes, thanks very much, Eric, for volunteering to be
the list coordinator.
Thanks,
James Carroll
James,
Are you familiar with the book
"Southern Kirk and Carrell Families" by Mrs. Arch Bruce Marshall?
I have not read it... only read that it related to the Orange County, NC Carrolls.
