Looking for information on Mary Idella Carrol/Carroll, who was a full blooded
Indian, and her husband John Michael Shoemaker. John Michael Shoemaker was
born 2-11-1852, he died 1-2-1935. Mary was born on June 8, 1858. They lived
around the Nashville, Tenn area, and later move to Belleville, Ill. I have
also been told by older family members that they were living in Louisiana
before coming to Tennessee. I don't think this is the same Mary Idella who
came from Georgia to Louisiana, because she was married to a Smart, but they
are close to the same age. John Michael Shoemaker and Mary Idella Carrol had
the following children.
Leonard 12-10-1877
Samuel 1-20-1881
Nettie 2-8-1884
William J. 10-11-1886
James Leland 8-16-1887
Jasper 3-18-1889
Fannie 6-30-1891 (my great grandmother)
Perkin 10-14-1893
Rebecca 10-17-1895
Jack 10-17-1897
Mary Elizabeth 8-8-1900
