Rebecca,
I have been doing the Carroll family tree for some time now, and after a short break am
back at it. I was so thrilled to find you family tree on
ancestry.com. We are related! My
husband is the grandson of Anthony Lee Carroll ( your grandfather's uncle.) I would
love to share information that I have with you. Unfortunately I have not been able to go
any further back than Charles. My husband and I still live in Missouri and their are still
family in Chafee. There is an old grave yard in Chaffe where the old family farm used to
be with a lot of the Carroll's buried there.
I am interested in the Carroll that you say was murdered. If I have read your post right
you would be talking about my husband's great great grandfather Thomas. He died in
February of 1928 of old age. Now his wife Elizabeth (Lizzy) they believe was murdered. She
was a full blooded Cherokee indian and she allowed black men to work on their farm. This
was in the days of the Klue Klux Klane which was very strong in the south of Missouri (
sad but true). They found her farm house burnt to the ground and she was never seen since,
so they are pretty sure she was murdered. I have never been able to find any newspaper
articles on this, but have been told the story by many family members.
Please contact me if you would like to exchange information.
My email address is carrollcreations(a)aol.com
