I have a James Jackson Carroll b. Sept.9,1837
d. Dec. 13, 1930, yes he lived 93 years. I do not have his place of birth...some estrangement from his Carroll family...likely had a brother...Jerry, or Jerold...
Family oral history says Carrolls came from Mecklenburg or Orange Co. NC.
James Jackson Carroll married Martha Amanda Bryant, daughter of John Pleasant Bryant and Frances Siler. (Frances Siler was sister or half-sister to Mary Siler who married Nathan Bedford Forest)
James Jackson Carroll and Martha Amanda had 3 children, John Benjamin, Mary and Jim Thomas.John Benjamin married Minnie Neora Lawson, decended from Francis Marion Lawson the son of Wm. Banks Lawson & Emoline Bowman?.That is what I have put together...but am unsure of the Carroll line back...and whether I have the correct Francis Marion Lawson. My mother recalls a Shadrack Lawson, cousin...
Also, James Jackson Carroll was wounded (arm)in Civil War and applied for pension
Minnie Neora Lawson Carroll, had a sister, Addie Lawson, who married John Marsh from Scotland.They had a son, LaVern (Vern) Marsh, who had compiled a Lawson Family Book.
Vern married Sarah???
Anyone with any info on these family names pls. contact [email protected]!
