About a year ago, I was looking for Columbus Carroll in Tennessee and I found some
documents from Hawkins County that refers to the son of ALEXANDER CARROLL -- Robert
Carroll as 'LUM'. I think Robert Carroll's middle name may have been
'CoLUMbus. Alexander Carroll died some time between 1860 and 1870. Mary Carroll (last
name Carrol) appears in the 1870 Census as the head of household with Robert age 3, and
again in the 1880 Census with Robert age 14, putting his year birth around 1866-1867.
From your info I found in the same 1880 Census for Hawkins County,
William BUTTRY Self M Male W 50 TN Farm Laborer TN TN
Lucinda BUTTRY Wife M Female W 46 TN TN TN
Emeline BUTTRY Dau S Female W 25 TN TN TN
Sarah BUTTRY Dau S Female W 18 TN TN TN
Gertrude BUTTRY Dau S Female W 16 TN TN TN
Lula BUTTRY Dau S Female W 13 TN TN TN
Martha BUTTRY Dau S Female W 11 TN TN TN
Perry BUTTRY Son S Male W 8 TN TN TN
Cora Lee BUTTRY Dau S Female W 5 TN TN TN
Mary BUTTRY Dau S Female W 2 TN TN TN
Josephine BUTTRY GDau S Female W 5 TN TN TN
Columbus BUTTRY GSon S Male W 1 TN TN TN
Could Columbus BUTTRY be Gertrude's son and Robert Carroll be the 'LUM'
Carroll you refer to. I can't find any other info on Columbus BUTTRY after this
census.
