Hello Wilma,
Found in the book, From Whence We Came, by Lela Grant Carruth, I found John Tyree Carruth
on page 109. There it shows him born 16 Feb. 1846, died 16 Apr. 1910, and the eighth
child of Albert Graham Carruth who settled in Callaway County, Mo., in 1820. John's
name, date of birth, and the fact that his father was in Missouri match what you wrote of.
However, after that there is some difference.
The book list John's wife as Mary Jane Crenshaw who he married on 27 Nov. 1866. Their
children are listed as James Amos, b. 17 Aug. 1868, Oney Ellen, b. 18 Sep. 1870, and
Richard, b. 02 Jul. 1872. I wonder if Mary Louisa might have been John's second wife.
Can give you more information back from John's father Albert.
Best Wishes,
H. Carrouth
