Hi Chastity,
I saw your posts on Ancestry asking for information about your father's family, but
the posts were from 2000 and 2001, so I don't know if you have found what you were
looking for. I tried to use the email listed on the thread, but it came back returned
twice. Just thought I'd share the information I have for your branch of the Carroll
family, if you're interested.
Howard Victor Carroll was born on 20 May 1942 in Campbell Co. TN. He was the son of Howard
Carroll (Sr) and Mamie Lee Benge.
The senior Howard was born on 10 April 1920, and was only 29 years old when he died in
1949. He had married Mamie Lee Benge sometime around 1940. She was the daughter of James
Laney Benge (1883-1945) and Georgia Belle Carpenter (1894-1970).
Howard Victor Carroll was twice married. His first wife was Marilyn Kay Russell, who he
married in 1961, and his second wife was Carolyn Cathy Day, whom he married in 1969.
Your father and grandfather are both buried at Sharp's Cemetery in La Follette,
Campbell Co. TN, in the same cemetery with other members of the Carroll family.
Your grandmother Mamie Benge was remarried after Howard (Sr) died, and she is buried at
Woodlawn Cemetery in La Follette. Her surname was Williams when she died in 1987.
Mamie's sister, Myrtle Pete Benge (1916-1982) was the wife of Walter Roscoe Carroll,
who was Howard (Sr)'s older brother. So two sisters married two brothers.. Walter and
Myrtle had 9 children.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please let me know.
