It appears that you are creating a family like this. Is that correct?
1...Michael Carroll m Joanna Brown
... 2...Daniel Carroll
....... 3...Daniel Carroll b.1699 m Elizaeth Purdy
........... 4...Daniel Carroll of Carrollton and PA
....... 3...Hannah Carroll b.1??? m John Sewell 1721
.....2...Domenick Carroll m Mary Sewell
........3...Several daughters
I am totally confused by this statement in your message:
" (he inherited land from his uncle James (d. 1729) brother of Daniel's dad,
Michael. It was in Md., but due to a boundary change became Pa. Dempse Jr., also inherited
part of the Pa. land, being the remaining heir of Dempse Sr. and the only remaining
inheritors from James....all others were dead at that time..."
There is no Dempse, Sr. or Dempse, Jr. above. There is no James above. You seem here to
be saying that Dempse,Sr. and James are different persons. In other places you have
seemed to indicate that Dempse,Sr. dropped that name and used James.
I don't understand how Michael's great-grandson became Daniel of CARROLLTON.
Carrollton was the home of Charles the immigrant and his descendants, wasn't it?
