If any of you on the CARROLL list have a copy of Ezra P. Carrell's " The
Descendants of James CARRELL and Ssarah DUNGAN ..." I would like to
point out a small error that occurred on p. 65 of that book. The family
of Elizabeth Carrell Dungan and David Dawson of Fayette, IN is given
there. There are five sons and one daughter. However, somehow the two
eldest children have been mistaken as the parents of the four youngest
sons! The family can be found in the federal census for 1860 in Delaware
Co, IN, Muncie township and in the federal census of 1870 in Rock Island
Co. IL Buffalo prarie township. Mary A. Dawson was m in Aug of 1869 to
Joseph Crabtree. The record is on file in Muscatine, IA. She gave her
name as Alice J. M. Dawson. She preferred the name Alice, though her
full maiden name was Mary Alice Jane Dawson. In the pension file of
Alice Crabree there is an affadavit signed by her brother W.J. Dawson
that the various forms of her name all referred to one person, and that
person was the widow of the civil war pensioner Joeph Crabtree and that
neither Joseph nor his wife had ever had any other marriages. I hope if
the Carrell geneaogy is ever updated that this will be corrected. In
the 1928 genealogy there is mention of a Carrell family association.
Does anybody know if it is still in existence? Charles Fisher
