Leroy Carrell/Carroll 1819/1820
I am listing ALL the information I have on Leroy Carrell, my direct line. If anyone is interested in contacting me about this Carrell/Carroll family, please do so, we may just be able to help each other.
Leroy Carrell/Carroll, Jr. born 1820 in Georgia and died 1886 in San Saba, San Saba County, Texas, married Martha Patsy Poe, 1842 in Pickens County, Alabama. His second wife is my direct line, Harriet O. Woodall, and his third wife is Mrs. Mary A. Stallcup.
Martha Patsy Poe---Oft time Patsy is a nickname for Martha, humm-m, so I am wondering if I have her real and right true name--- was born 1827 in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi and died 1862 in Starkville, Mississippi and buried in Choctaw County, Mississippi.

One thing to keep in mind, the original bulk of this information came to me in 1980, from my Grandfather’s cousin. Most of his information was correct, but I have since found that, if I am stuck, I need to go back and retrace the footsteps of those to whome I am stuck. I have no quarrel with Grandfather's cousin. He was probably in his middle 50's in 1980 and did most of his work through the mail and actually traveling to the courthouses and reading the censuses, some are logical mistakes, given how hard it was to search.

I am hoping this will help whomever, and also hoping I can move beyond what I have here. Please contact me either though this web site or my personal e-mails [email protected] or [email protected].
