Looking for information on my gg grandmother Mary Idella Carroll - Could be
listed as just Mary or Idella Carroll.
She is listed on the 1880 census of Robertson County, TN, under her husband
John SHOEMAKER as follows:
Rebecca Shoemaker, Divorced, 47, W F, Homemaker, TN, PA, VA
John Shoemaker, Farmer, 27, W M, Farmer, TN, VA, NC
Mary, Wife, 22, W F, Homemaker, TN, TN, TN
Leonard, son, 2, W M, TN, TN, TN
John SHoemaker's wife, Mary Idella Carroll is suppose to be Indian, yet she
is listed as white on the 1880 census - (there was no selection other than
White or Black on the census).
The first state is where the individual was from, and the other 2 are where
the parents were from. Mary lists herself and both of her parents as being
from Tennessee.
Anybody have a family of Carroll in Tennessee with a Mary, Idella, or Mary
Idella aged 1 or 2 in the 1860 census, or 11-12 in the 1870 census?
How about any Carroll Indian ancestry in Tennessee?
Thanks in advance!
