Hello,
Anyone with information about this Carruth/Carrouth family group, please
contact me.
Our general family name of Carruth has been spelled many ways and was
spelled Carrouth starting by 1860 for the seven sons of James Elbert
Carruth who d. 1850 in Madison Co., Ga. James' wife, Harriet Nance
(Andrew) Carruth moved to Elbert Co. with their seven sons and is found
on the 1850 Census there as H. Carouth with the seven boys shown by
their initials and her sister Permelia Andrew. The initials of J.A.
were shown twice and T.S. was not shown. The information below corrects
this and shows where this family was in 1860.
This is the info. from 1860 Elbert County Census Records.
