Message Board Post:
I am looking for my grandfather's siblings who were placed in the Tennessee
Children's Home in 1926. My grandfather's name was Odie B. Carroll, and he was
the son of Burl Carroll and Lizzie (Elizabeth) Dorton. My grandfather's adoption
records indicate that he had a brother, Guy Brown (3 months old), and a sister, Liludora
(4 years old). Because of the copy and handwriting quality, I am not certain of the
spellings of either of these names. These two children were placed together but my
grandfather was placed in a different orphanage. In further research, I discovered
another brother, L. B. Dorton (changed his surname later in life) who was not placed in an
orphanage but lived with his mother. If you have ANY information on these two individuals
or their families, I would MORE THAN appreciate you sharing it.
