I didn't find anything on Ben Carroll besides a census type list in Kent Co., Maryland
in 1810 (age 26). However, I have no idea if that is your Ben Carroll, but it seems that
are aren't any other Ben Carroll's coming up in the search, so it might be. Also,
I found him in the 1850 census that you had him saved under, but he doesn't appear to
be documented in a census after that. Thus, it's safe to assume that quite possibly he
left the area or simply died between 1850-1860. That being said, I'd try to located
when he lived during those years via the 1850 census, and I'd look at any local
history books, local historians, and even town hall etc. for a death certificate. The
death certificate if there is one, usually has the deceased's parents' names
listed or even a marriage record. Hope that helps!
