Hi;
I am looking for information of the following Carroll family from Indiana. Missouri and
Peter were my gg-grandparents. It has only been in the last year that I was able to find
out who her siblings were. I think her fathers name is Samuel. He is the only Caroll
liste in the 1830 Indiana Census for Jackson County.
Samuel? Carroll b. Va Wife 1 Elanor (Eloner) Lake b. VA d. ~ 1836 (When Missouri was 15)
I do not know the name of he next wife or when exactly they were married.
Children:
*Missouri Carroll b. 8-23-1821 Jackson Co., IN d. 1-29-1907 Jackson Co., KS, Buried

NY d. between 1865 and 1870 KS

1860 , Aug 16, 1870 living in Richland Twp, Decature Co., Iowa, )

Thomas P. McConnell b. 8 Mar 1854 IN adopted by Sylvester by 1870
In 1880 Sylvester was living in Richland, Decatur Co. Iowa father and mother born VA.
William Living next door is James Carrel.
*James Carrell b. ~1856 IA (both parents from IN)
m. Laura b. ~ 1860 OH
_______ Estella b. ~1878 IA
*William Carrel b. 1817 KY (1810/11 Jackson Co, IN)
Since William is listed as born in KY did the family once live there?
Could this be the right William? William Carroll b. 13 Aug 1821 near Fairmont, IN d. 6 May
1889 Grant Co., IN father listed as Benjamin Carrol b. 1770-1799 Guiford NC. M. Rachel??.
His father/brothers were William and Thomas.
m. Peninah Ellis b. 8 Jul 1835 Gulford, NC d. sep 1872 m. on May 10 1851 Randolph, Grant
Co. IN
The William Carrell living with Sylvester in 1860 was born in 1821IN and the William
Carrel living with Sylvester in 1870 was born in 1810 VA
Is one the father and one the son? If so were William and Missouri twins? But William
Carrol born in 1810 would not be old enough to be the parent.
