I have Lee's and Lawson's but most of all the untracable Carrolls:
I just read an old post from 2002 that John Carroll was born in Grainger County, TN abt
1830...well that's a good thing because James A. my GG Grandfather was also born there
in abt 1829 and died in Bradley County 1899. There are a few of us looking for the parents
of this clan. Now I'm wondering if James A and Levi were brothers or was it John and
James A or was it all of them?? My James A. fought for the Union (I have his discharge
papers) not much more info than that. Funny thing is that he is fair compIected but has
Black hair and Black eyes. American Indian connection? I have all the census with him and
his wife Elizabeth Lawson. There is another James A that married an Eliza...different
group, they lived in Lauderdale, TN. I need to find if they were from VA or NC...and is it
Hugh or not. I grew up in old Indian Territory area and very close to Red Clay. Is this
the John related to the Wards? I know a lot about the Nancy Ward since it was Bradley
County history. I didn!
't know however there was a book that mentions John Carroll by Emmett Starr?? Thanks
for letting me babble. Now HELP ME....haha
