Jackie:
Thanks for the reply. Yes this must be the same Absalom. I show He had 11
children. I'm not sure how they are divided among his four wives. I had not
verified any data on Absaloms date/place of birth. This helps me a lot. If
you need any information on other Carrolls....I have a considerable amount
of data.
Thanks very much.

Alma,
I am not sure if this will be any help to you. I have been going back thru
some old e-mails this week.
I remembered the Absalom name as that was my , G.Grandfathers &
Grandfathers
middle name.(Thomas Absalom Dutton)
It is one you don't hear very often.
I found in an e-mail I received in 2/1999, the following:
CARROLL, ABSALOM
born 1762 - Johnston Co.NC
died ca 1828 MS
married as wife #4-S.C. ca 1800 Eleanor Robinson
This could possibly be the son of your Absalom who came from Ireland.
Let me know if this is any help.
