Jane;
I, too, descend from the CARROLL and WELCH lines through Jemima CARROLL c1735 m Sylvester
WELCH. I've been researching this family since the mid-1970s, but the best source for
early ancestry is Nancy Fratt. Please send me an email to jim4bartletts(a)verizon.net and
I'll try to put you in contact with her - I can also snail mail the very well written
article by her.
Dempse CARROLL Sr's will was probated in 1776 in Loudoun Co, VA, but they must have
lived near the border with Fauquier Co, VA. Of his 13 known children (through 2 wives), I
have more info on several:
Dempsey CARROLL II m Mary HALL and moved to KY
Jemima CARROLL m Sylvester WELCH - I know they were in Fauquier Co, VA in 1773 (with sons
Sylvester & Dempse WELCH) - probably through 1784 when they moved to Hampshire Co, VA,
where Sylvester WELCH was a witness in 1795 - so look in Fauquier and Hampshire Co, VA for
records of his family. Sylvester WELCH's Will was dated 1800 and probated 1810 in
Hampshire Co, VA
Sanford CARROLL m 1771 Fauquier Co, VA Elizabeth "Betty" BARTLETT (dau of Thomas
BARTLETT c1730-1806 and Anne); Sanford died in 1777, leaving Betty with 3 CARROLL children
which were raised by the BARTLETTs. Betty 2m Thomas ASBURY and moved to Harrison Co, VA;
having more ASBURY children.
Sarah CARROLL m 1777 Thomas BARTLETT Sr c1730-1806 (whose wife Anne had died - and so he
became brother-in-law to his daughter Betty) - Thomas already had 10 children, several
already married; and he and Sarah had 5 more who survived to adulthood. They moved to
Harrison Co, VA in 1785 with most of the children.
Mary Ann Heath CARROLL b 1766 (and thus was 10 when her father died) m 1784 Benjamin
BARTLETT 1764-1824 - Benjamin was living in Fauquier Co, VA with his father and
step-mother: Thomas BARTLETT c1730-1806 and Sarah CARROLL. Mary and Benjamin moved to
Harrision Co, VA the following year with most of the other BARTLETTs.
Cynthia CARROLL b 1774 (was only 2 when her father died). I'm not sure what Rebecca
HEATH SMITH CARROLL did when Dempse died in 1776, leaving her with 3 young daughters, and
perhaps some un-married step-children (does anyone know about her from 1776 to 1793?). It
appears she and at least Cynthia moved to Harrison Co, VA - perhaps with the BARTLETT
family that they were so inter-married with. In any case Cynthia m 1793 in Harrison Co,
VA to William HAYMOND Jr (son of Maj William HAYMOND and Cassandra CLELAND)
I would really like to know more about
William Porter CARROLL, and
William HAYMOND Jr.
Also please list the ancestry of Edward BARTLETT back to Dmepsey CARROLL 1711-1776.
Also if anyone can list where the other CARROLL girls went:
Frances CARROLL m Henry PINKSTON
Athaha CARROLL PINKSTON JARRETT
Ann CARROLL JACKSON
Mary CARROLL HOGAN OWENS
Rachel CARROLL REEVES
Thanks;
