    The identity of Nathaniel and John McCarroll's parents has not been determined for certain, but it appears that their father was John McCarroll who died in Spartanbury County, North Carolina on March 5, 1800. The will of this John did not contain the name of his wife but it showed 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, 1765, and died in Lawrence County, Arkansas in early 1835. He was married in Spartenburg County, South Carolina in the mid-1790s to Martha ( ) who was born in South Carolina in about 1765. The notice of death in Lawrence County which appeared in the Arkansas Gazette dated April 6, 1835, showed "Nathaniel McCarroll and his wife, both of advanced age, died recently."


    It is not known just when our Nathaniel McCarroll moved from North Carolina to South Carolina, but he stated to the County Court of Independence County, Territory of Arkansas on January 7, 1833, that in 1781 he was living in Spartanburg County, South Carolina when he was called into service in the Revoluntary War. After the war ended he remained in Spartanburg County until 1807 when he moved his family to Caldwell County, Kentucky. He remained in Caldwell County until 1815 when he later came to Lawrence County, Arkansas.


    The first Arkansas Tax List of 1819 to 1829 names Nathaniel McCarroll as a property owner. He settled on Cooper's Creek about two miles south of Smithville, Arkansas on what was later known as the J. N. Hillhouse place. He and his family were among the first settlers of the Strawberry River country. 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. In January of 1833, Nathaniel appeared before the Independence County Court which approved his application for a Revoluntary War Pension. It is not known where Nathaniel and Martha McCarroll are buried, but it is believed that they are probably buried in the Hillhouse Cemetery which is located very near where their house was.

    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 1790s and had three young sons when his wife died in Spartanbury County or in Caldwell County, Kentucky between 1800 and 1815. He was married again in Spartanburg County, NC or Caldwell Co, KY before 1817 to Nancy ( ), born in South Carolina in 1793, and died in Lawrence County, Arkansas in the 1860s.


    John and Nancy moved to Lawrence County, Arkansas Territory between 1818 and 1820. They settled in the Spring River area of Lawrence County, north of where Nathaniel had settled a few years earlier. This part of Lawrence County later became Randolph County and their descendants live in that area to this date.


    More information on this family can be found in "The Descendants of Nathaniel and John McCarroll" which was written be the late John Richard McCarroll of Waco, Texas. Index to this book here.


    This page is dedicated to the memory of John Richard McCarroll.
