I have been waiting and watching for a Carroll/Honeycutt marriage in NC. The reason? When
you have searched and can't find anything, you begin to rely on every thread of
imagination to seek answers.
In our CARRELL/CARROLL family a story was passed down that my GGG Grandfather, Alexander
Carrell, came by ship from England into Wilmington, NC sometime prior to 1783 and settled
in Sampson County, NC. He brought with him a cane, a chair, and a chest. The chair and the
cane are in the possession of two members of the known descendants of Alexander's son
Major Hardy Carrell. The chest was told to be in the possession of a Honeycutt family the
last anyone in my branch of the family knew anything about it, so I assumed a descendant
of Alexander married a Honeycutt.
Alexander Carrol/Carrell/Carroll and Lucy Ryal/Royal had two other sons besides Hardy
listed in Alexander's will which was written in 1827. I know much about Hardy's
descendants but nothing about the descendants of Reason Carrell or Weslie Carrell. Could
your Sarah Jane be the daughter or granddaughter of one of those Carrolls?
