I am seeking information on my husband's gg and ggg grandfathers,
Anthony Wayne CARROLL. Anthony I was born Feb 20, 1805 in either
Western PA or Montgomery, Hampden, MA. According to family history, his
father was killed in the war of 1812. (Anthony was named after his
father's army buddy General (Mad) Anthony Wayne. There were several
children in the family and they were lined up against the fence and a
well-to-do neighbor came by and picked out young Anthony Wayne Carroll
to be raised by him as an apprentice to his trade. No knowledge what
this trade was.
He later migrated to Ohio (Newark Co., Granville, OH) and married in
1826, Belinda Noble Root.
Anthony wrote a family history, or genealogical book that was published
by his cousins Lysander Barrett and another brother. No one seems to
have seen this book---does anyone on the list know about this book?
Anthony and Belinda had several children, including Anthony Wayne
Carroll, II who married Roxanna Phoebe Havens in Tipton, IA.
Hopefully someone has seen or heard of this book. I would love to buy a
copy!
