Ken,
After reading your message concerning Cherokee/Carroll ancestry, just wanted to respond to
let you know my grandfather, William Carroll b. about 1873-1881 somewhere in TN claimed to
be part Cherokee. This William Carroll moved from TN to the Missouri Bootheel area around
1900 and lived there until his death in 1927. Since he passed away before my birth, I do
not know very much about him, but have found some of his ancestors in Marshall County, KY.
I believe his father to be Mitchell J. Carroll b. in TN 1818-1821. Mitchel's wife
was Nancy P. Pierce who was also born in TN about 1840-1842 according to the only two
census records I have been able to find 1870-1880. In those two census records,
Mitchell's father was born in VA and his mother was born in NC. I have not found this
family living in TN before 1870. My grandfather only had two children, James Robert
Carroll b. 23 November 1908 d. 1 May 1980, and Willie Bee born 17 April 1907 and d. 25
March 1975.
