From Ken Williams Tree, Williams & McWilliams of East Texas, on rootsweb:
The O'Carroll's are from Ireland. Many dropped the O after arriving in the New Country, USA. Susannah's birth year taken from the 1850 Jones County Ms census as she is 55 so born about 1795 in South Carolina. Absalom's first two wives died childless and the third wife had Susannah.... His fourth wife is Eleanor Robinson." So mother unknown. Eleanor was step-mother.
And so our earliest Family History begins with the oral stories from the Carroll family as recorded by Thomas Robinson Carroll in 1909 from a letter he wrote to his brother, Absalom Washington Carroll. These are Susannah's nephews. T R Carroll was living in Washington Louisiana at this time.
Original letter is owned by Mrs Ora Vivian Pittman Robinson of Dallas Tx. Mr Rupert Francis Carroll of Victoria Tx did the transcription. Both are descendents of Absalom Washington Carroll.
Washington, La. November 16, 1909
"Many years ago in Corks in Ireland their was a young man by the name of Absalum Carroll. He married a young lady I do not know her name. Young Carroll brought his wife to the United States landing in Baltamore, Maryland. From their they moved to South Carolina. There they had five sons born to them. Carroll and wife both died leaving five little boys, their names were Britten, Absalum, John, James, and Moses. They being very poor they were given to different families to be raised. Absalum was given to a family in Collington District in South Carolina. He remained with that family until he was 21 years old. About that time George Washington the father of his county was made chief commander of the army of the Revolutionary War and he served under General Washington until the close of the war and he was honorably discharged. Absalum Carroll then returned to his old home in South Carolina, Collington District. He then married a young lady but she did not live very long. She died leaving Absalum a widower. He married a second young lady she only lived a short while leaving Absalum Carroll a widower the second time. In a short while he married a third wife. With that wife he was blessed with a girl babe, her name was Susannah. Well Absalum Carroll being a very popular man among the ladys, of course he married his fourth wife, another young lady by the name of Ellenor Robinson. Well they were blessed with another fine daughter her name was Mary. So Susannah Carroll, his first daughter married a man by the name of Thomas Williams. [Ben Williams grandparents].
His daughter Mary got grown she married a man by the name of Edward Harper. Absalum Carroll's next child was a boy he named Benjamin, the next was a daughter, her name was Harriet, the next a daughter, her name was Sarah, the next was a son, his name was John Edward. This one is my father. The next daughter, her name was Martha, the next was a boy, his name was Moses, the next a boy his name was James, and last a boy, his name was Absalum.
So by this time old Absalum Carroll decided he would leave Collington District and move farther south. He and his son-in-laws "Tom" Williams and "Ned" Harper pulled up stakes and moved to Jones County Mississippi, on the Bouge Hommer and Indian name meaning red bayou. Now Ben Carroll married Hulda Harper, a ministers daughter. Harriett Carroll married Daniel McDonald. Sarah Carroll married Samuel Clark, John Edward married Mary Strain, this is my mother. Moses Carroll died when a boy, James Carroll married Mary Clark, Martha Carroll married Allen Hargrove, young Absalum married a lady that I did not know. I never saw him but wonce.
[ I have edited some of this out ] kw
My Grandfather Carroll never saw but one of his brothers after they were separated, the brother he saw was Britten, they were then old men. Absalum Carroll, my grandfather was going from Mississippi to South Carolina to close up his unfinished business and on his way met Britten, they both happened to stop at the same house to stay all night."
T R Carroll
Grandson to Absalum Carroll
And for us Williams, Thomas Absalom Williams is Absalum Carroll's Grandson also. And Ben T Williams is a Great Grandson. kw

From Ken Williams Tree, Williams & McWilliams of East Texas, on rootsweb:
Miss Mabel Mabry who searched this line shows a marriage date of 1818, and since I don't know where she found this date I will go with our old Williams Family Bible, copyrighted 1828, where the marriage notes say March 9, 189. We take this to be 1809 and as cousin Billie Jean Reome explained it could be written down by someone in the family that could write, perhaps a child, and if told 18--9, then the zero was simply left out. kw & bjr

The project started in earnest during the 1960's and has continued sporadically from then on with help by various family members and a lot of friends. Oral and documented family information was complied by Linda Bianchi nee Hooper and Barbara Hooper nee Crosby, later augmented with additions by Lee and Cathy nee Hooper Galloway. A special Thank You to Michele Yvonne Hayward Tate and her family and to Amy Holtgrewe Haertling and her family, for their generous help. The project continues to be updated and expanded by Linda and Mike Bianchi.
