For Carroll cousins, Jackie P. & Lura S. & other Sampson Co./Duplin Co
Carrolls:
Looking thru the books on the Court Minutes from Sampson Co, NC
I believe I have found what I think is a more definitive period of the
death date on our Jesse Carroll, Sr, b bef 1743 - d bef 13 Nov 1809, parents
unknown at present, mar Mary Rachel (Gavin).
In the book "A Portrait of Nineteenth Century Sampson County as revealed by
Sampson County Court Minutes, 1800 - 1810" as complied & edited by Oscar M.
Bizzell and Virginia L. Bizzell. Thanks to the Sampson County Historical
Society for having these books, especially to the Bizzells for transcribing &
compiling these books & to Nadine who was so helpful in my ordering! !
pg 185 has Court Minutes for 16 August 1809, Wednesday which leads to
pg 186 has names of Superior Court Jurymen for the next superior court of
Sampson on which is found the name of Jesse Carroll Sr.
pg 187 there are Court Minutes for 13 November 1809, Monday
pg 188 "Carroll Will: John Carroll produced to the court the last will and
testament of Jesse Carroll, dec'd, which was admitted to probate by the
oaths of John Carroll, David Chesnutt and Alexander Chesnutt."
So this looks like he may have actually died between this 3 mth period - 16
Aug 1809 & 13 November 1809.
Hope this will help us all.......
