Hi Chelsa: I have been searching Carroll's in a similar area, Washington
County (Abingdon area), Virginia. I had a Mary (1868 - 1938) Carroll
(whose parents were Henry Carroll b.1830 - d.1889 and Amelia DeBOSE Carroll
b.1842 - d.1900) whom had a cousin Sophronia COTTON Carroll (b.1862) of
American Indian descent. Any of these names appear on your tree?

Hello my name is Chelsa Wells (maiden name Carroll)I've been searching the
Carroll name also. My great grandmother Tylia Gay Carrol was from
Jonesville, VA.born in 1903. Her mother was thought to be Mary Carroll. My
family has always told that my dad's great great grandmother was full
Cherokee. The coloring and looks that my grandfather and dad had made me
believe that it was true. I too can't find any other information. My
Carrolls were from Lee Co. VA (Jonesville area) and Appalachia/Big Stone
Gap, VA. If you find anything let me know. I would love to know my
Cherokee heritage.
