Hi! What can you tell me about
Elisha Carroll (b. 1810 FL(?) d. 1894 Vancleave MS) and
Mahala Danielly (b. 1827 FL d. bef 1870 Vancleave MS)?
First, what is his full name? I thought his name was "Elijah George Carroll,
Sr.," but his obituary stated that his name was "Elisha" Carroll.
Where was he born?
When/where/how did he and Mahala meet?
What did he do for a living?
What was their home life like?
Where did they live?
Where did they go to church?
Was it him that was in the military?
Etc.
Basically, please tell me anything and everything you know about him, because I'm
dying to know all about him! Elisha (aka Elijah) is my great-great-grandfather, and no one
in my immediate family knows anything about him or Mahala!
I have these individuals as being their children:
(1) Rev. James A. Carroll (1844-1916)
(2) Catherine Carroll (1845-1909)
[Mahala apparently had already had James and was pregnant with Catherine when Elisha and
Mahala married in 1845]
(3) Elisha G. "Bizer" Carroll Sr. (1849-bef 1920)
(4) Sarah Carroll (1850 [1852] - [x])
(5) Martha [Jane] Carroll (1854-1923)
(6) Georgianna "Dump" Carroll (1856 - [x])
(7) Clayton Erasmus "Pone" Carroll (1860 - [x])
(8) Nancy Carroll (1862 [1865]- [x])
(9) James Albert Erasmus [Rasmore?] "Ras" Carroll (1867-1956)
What can you tell me about Martha and Nancy?
And do you know anything about James Albert (my great-grandfather)?
And I have these individuals listed as being the siblings of Elisha (born to Dempsey
Carroll III and either Martha Hall or Mary Polly Kirtley):
(1) Elisha [Elijah?] Carroll 1797 Duplin Co. NC d. 1850
(mother Martha Hall Carroll - this is not "my" Elisha)
(2) Noah Marshall Carroll b. 30 Oct 1799 Duplin Co NC
(3) Charles Carroll b. 1780
(4) Thomas J. Carroll b. 1800 NC m. Sarah
(5) Elizabeth Carroll b. 1801
(6) Alexander Carroll b. 1802
(7) Frances Carroll b. 1805 SC m. William Jackson Johnson
(8) Elias Carroll b. 1806
(9) Joshua Carroll b. 1806 SC
(10) *Elijah Carroll b. 1814 FL [SC] d. 1870
(mother Mary Polly Kirtley Carroll --
this one is "my" Elisha)
(11) Edward Demcy Carroll d. 15 Jul 1822 Scott Co KY
(12) Stephen Carroll [was this a brother?]
(13) Jessee Carroll [was this a brother?]
Thank you!!
Toni
