Leeroy had three sons:
Sanders Donohoe Carruth
Ross Anderson Carruth
Aspacio Perry Carruth
Little is known about Sander's family, but Ross and Aspacio, who was 7 years younger,
went to the gold rush in California, and supposedly made enough money to buy a farm in
northern Georgia (Forsyth County). Aspacio later moved to Cleburne County, AL, where he
served as Probate Judge, as well as serving in the CSA army from Alabama. He had 5 sons,
who all ended up in MS and LA.
Ross Anderson had 4 children, three daughters and one son, John Bell Carruth. John Bell
married Laura Jane Walker, and had 12 children - 8 sons and 4 daughters. I am the
grandson of the second oldest, Joseph Walker Carruth.
Leeroy is interred in a private cemetary near Lumpkin Campground in NE Georgia - Ross
Anderson is the first of 5 generations that is buried at Hopewell Methodist Church
Cemetary, just north of Cumming Georgia.
My aunt, Ila Mae Carruth Wood, is updating a history of the John Bell Carruth Family, in
case anyone is interested in a copy. It is my hope to help her transfer the information
to a website.

Both of these have details about Aspacio, and Ross to some extent. Both married sisters,
as did their father and uncle!
