Thanks, Eric.
I'd never heard of Anna Ella Carroll, so I was glad to learn about her. It's hard
to get a true picture of folks of long ago. You
might want to look at her from a slightly different viewpoint in Britannica.
http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9020516
I'm not as interested in what she did or didn't do as I am in her genealogy - as I
am any of these early Carrolls. According to the
article, "she was closely related to the famous Carrolls of Carrollton." I
searched and found that her father was Thomas King
Carroll (April 29, 1793 - October 3, 1873) who married Julia Stevenson, the daughter of
Dr. Henry Stevenson and Anne Henry.
Thomas King Carroll was born in Dorchester County, Maryland to Henry James Carroll and
Elizabeth Barnes King. I did not find dates
for Henry James, but using the 25 year estimate, he may have been born about 1768, making
him perhaps one generation younger than CC
of C.
I'm still wondering how much truth was in the book I wrote to James about yesterday.
Just how many Carrolls are related to CC of
C??? I hope this DNA project will help find answers to that question.
