(Reliability: 3). «b»Nathaniel and John McCarroll Family «/b» A John McCarroll died in Spartanburg County, North Carolina, on March 5, 1800. His will contained the names of three sons: Nathaniel, John, and Thomas, and two daughters, Genrot and Ruth. It also appears that this John was the son of Nathaniel McCarroll who died in Surry County, North Carolina, in 1779. His will shows a wife, Elizabeth, two sons, Thomas and John, and one daughter, Mary. Nathaniel McCarroll was born in Surry County, North Carolina, on September 27, 1865, and died in Lawrence County, Arkansas, in early 1835. He was married in Spartanburg, North Carolina, in the mid 1790's to Martha, who was born in South Carolina in about 1765. Both died prior to April 6 1835. Nathaniel was called to serve in the Revolutionary War in 1781, while living in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. After the war, he remained there until 1807, when he moved his family to Caldwell County, Kentucky. He remained in Kentucky until 1815, before coming to Arkansas. The first Arkansas Tax List of 1819 to 1829, names Nathaniel McCarroll as a property owner on Cooper Creek, about two miles south of Smithville, Arkansas on what was later known as the J.N. Hillhouse place. Nathaniel's farm was about three miles north of the famed "Old Taylor Mill" which was built on the Strawberry River about five miles south of Smithville. Nathaniel and Martha are thought to be buried in the Hillhouse Cemetery. Nathaniel's children were: Thomas, born 1795, South Carolina, died 1844, Arkansas; James, born 1797, South Carolina, died 1872, Arkansas; Elizabeth, born 1799, South Carolina, died 1853, Arkansas; John, born 1800, South Carolina, died 1825, Arkansas; Martha, born 1812 Kentucky, died 1890, Arkansas. John McCarroll was born in Surry County, North Carolina, in about 1770, and died in Lawrence County in Arkansas Territory between July 29, 1833, and the end of that year. He was married in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, in the early 1790's and had three young sons when his wife died in Spartanbury [Spartanburg] County or in Caldwell County, Kentucky, between 1800 and 1815. He married again in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, or Caldwell County, Kentucky, before 1817, to Nancy, born in South Carolina in 1793. John and Nancy moved to Lawrence County in Arkansas Territory between 1815 and 1820, settling in the Spring River area, north of where Nathaniel had settled a few years earlier. This part of Lawrence County later became Randolph County. John's children were: William, born 1791, South Carolina; Nathaniel W., born 1793 South Carolina, died 1843, Arkansas; John M., born 1795, South Carolina, died 1844, Arkansas; James, born 1817, Kentucky, died 1877, Arkansas; Martha, born 1821, Arkansas, died before 1860, Arkansas; Mariah, born 1823, Arkansas, died 1857, Arkansas; Jane, born 1825, Arkansas, died before 1860, Arkansas; Esther, born 1827, Arkansas; Margaret, born 1829, Arkansas.
