Harvey,
I wish I could get my hands on the research material used in "From Whence Ye
Came" ... as I can find nothing that shows Aspacio and Ross as sons of another
"Aspacio" ... I did however find several different spellings of Aspacio,
Asposio, Aspasio, Aspana ... most of them are probably phonetic spellings by census takers
of the day.
My great uncle, Dr. Thomas Albert Carruth (grandson of Aspacio), was our family historian,
and he has passed away, so we have no one to ask WHERE he got his information, but he has
the father of Aspacio and Ross as "James Leroy Carruth" .. but I cannot confirm
where he got this info.
According to the Bell Family of Forsyth, GA., history book the following info is correct:
Children of Leeroy Carruth and Sibay Lankford (m. 12-16-1816) are:
1. Sanders Donoho Carruth (m. Polly Roper
2. Permelia Pinckney Carruth (b. march 1821, m. James W. Robinson)
3. Ross Anderson Carruth (b. March 1, 1823, m. Georgia Ann Florida Bell
1860)
4. Mary Elanina Carruth (m. Abery Brewton)
5. Robert Graham Carruth (b. 1828)
6. Aspacio Perry Carruth (b. Dec. 27, 1830)
7. Martha Carruth (b. March 26 1833, m. Leander Smith 1850)
FYI ... I just received my copy of the marriage record for Leeroy Carruth and Sibay
Lankford (note the different spellings of their names) ... Hoping since this was an
"official bond" .. that the correct spelling was used at the time ...
