Hello,
In the letter sent below I meant to say that two of James Carruth and Mary Logan's
children are shown here (on the web page) and that Leeroy Carruth was also shown as being
married to one of the Lankford siblings. Part of the rest of the letter does deal with
the possibility of Leeroy being James and Mary's son. Does anyone else have
information or an idea they may want to share concerning this?
Since writing this letter I have found another Carruth/Lankford marriage shown on page 115
of Lela Grant Carruth's book, "From Whence Ye Came." This marriage is
between Linda Myra Carruth-4 (Alexander-1, Robert-2, Alexander-3) and John Lankford.
Best Wishes,
Harvey Carrouth
Ps.- Please forgive the double post.

Hello and Happy Easter to You All,
I received the address below to a web page showing 3 Carruth-Lankford marriages from on of
our cousins who is also connected to the Caldwell family.
Click here: My Caldwell Family
http://www.angelfire.com/ga/hobbsphillips/caldwell.html
This information may be useful to someone in our family group searching the Alexander -1
(immigrating ancestor), Robert -2, James -3 lines. Three of
James Carruth and Mary Logan's children are shown here. Mary Carruth, Catherine
Carruth, and Leeroy Carruth are shown here with all three marrying
Lankford siblings, sons and daughter of Nathan Lankford and Meron Caldwell.
Nathan Lankford was also a witness to an indenture between James Logan Carruth (Mary and
Catherine's brother) and Robert Carruth (their grandfather). With Leeroy marrying in
to this same Lankford family in the
same generation as Mary and Catherine's spouses, I'm wondering what his
relationship could possibly be to them (brother perhaps or first cousin). Nathan Lankford
witnessed Leeroy's marriage to Sibby Lankford. Also, Mrs. Lela Grant Carruth recorded
on page 114 of, "From Whence Ye Came," that Sibby
may have been a sister to Ephraim Carruth's wife, Susannah. This marriage is not
recorded on the web page listed above, but again this leads to the
question of the closeness of the relationship between Leeroy, Ephraim, Mary, and Catherine
Carruth (brothers and sisters or first cousins).
If the above are brothers and sisters, could Aspacio Carruth also be a brother to them.
Could the three Carruth boys here possibly be from a prior marriage for James before his
marriage to Mary Logan. If James was born between 1770 and 1775 as recorded in the above
mentioned book and did not marry Mary Logan until 1802 as recorded in the above book, this
could be so. Any comments??
Best Wishes,
Harvey Carrouth
