Notes par Thomas Marion Carroll [C]

Worthy genealogist and Carroll cousin James H. Downing has gone onto his reward, but some
foresighted individual about 15 years ago saved the major pages of data, but intentionally elected
not to collect the individual links which as best I recall were photos of the family of person with the
name with the link. So it you want to see the below and more links in earlier WoWiWe earlier formed
site just do a click on the the below link which is hoped to be a Technicolor click on my collecting link.

However this link into the web of interlinked pages as of 29th of March, 2005 gets much fine work:
WELL DONE JAMES DOWNING, who should be not forgotten by those of Carroll & Ratchford descent!

From the S.A.R. papers of Thomas M. Carroll
"My Grand-father, Joseph Carroll, served in the Army of General Sumpter in South Carolina in the years 1779, 1780 and 1781. His two elder brothers, Samuel and Thomas Carroll were in the same Army at the same time. My Great Grand-father, Joseph Carroll was born in Tyrone County, Ireland in 1699. Came to America, settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1729. Having received a land grant awarded to his Father, John Carroll, for services rendered in the Army of William, Prince of Orange, he settled in York district, South Carolina in 1750, and located his land claim in that district on Allison and Bullocks creeks and on the little Catawba River. My Grand-father, under whom I make this application, was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1746."

"My Mother, Isabella Henry Carroll, was a daughter of Major William Henry of York district, South Carolina. He and his two brothers, Alexander Henry and Malcolm Henry (the latter Grand-father of Ex-Lieutenant Govenor R.A. Campbell of the state of Missouri) were soldiers under General Nathaniel Green and took part in the battle at the Cowpens under General Morgan, January 17, 1781, also at Guilford Court House March 15, 1781, at Hobkirks Hill April 27, 1781 and at Eutaw Springs on September 8, 1781." [another brother, John, also served during the Revolutionary War] [In addition to four sons, Joseph's Bound Boy, Matthew, served]

"My Maternal Grand-mother, Rosanna Moore Henry, was sister to General John Moore, an officer in the American Army in the War for Independence, in South Carolina and Georgia."

~ Carroll History - Missouri & Carolinas ~
--From "History of the Watson Family in America" by Clayton Keith.

I quote from the 'History of the Carroll Family,' written by Hon. Thos. M. Carroll, our state senator from this district, from 1868 to 1872. His history was written in 1879.

"My great great grandfather, John Carroll, born in 1667, joined the forces of William of Orange and was present at the battle of the River Boyne, where the king's forces were routed. After the accession of William to the throne, an act was passed and carried into effect during his reign granting a pension to each soldier of the prince of Orange. This included grants of land in the British colonies in North America. John Carroll was given a grant of one league, or three miles square, which was never laid by him, but descended to his oldest son, Joseph Carroll, my great grandfather, who was born in the year 1699 in County Tyrone, Ireland, and by him it was laid in York district, South Carolina in 1751, sixty-one years after the service for which it was given, was rendered."

--Also from "History of the Watson Family in America" --

Hon. Thos. M. Carroll, the biographer, says: "My father stopped at the Buffalo Lick. It was known in the Carolinas as the 'Buffalo District'. My father made a stand here, till he looked at the country. He selected a location on Haw Creek, and was cutting the logs and preparing to build a cabin when Bennett Goldsberry, father of John B. Goldsberry of Frankford, Mo., informed him that the land he had selected was covered by a French claim; that the heirs lived in France, and that it would probably not come into market during my father's life time, which proved to be true. The Sarpee heirs sold it in 1853 only seven years before my father's death.

Jas. Templeton, Sr., a York County man, having settled upon and preempted four quarter sections of land in Township 53, tendered my father the southwest quarter of Section four, reserving ten acres of the northwest corner to be deeded to him when my father obtained letters patent for the same, which was carried out in good faith 21 years afterward. James M. Watson, Justice of the Peace and County Surveyor, surveyed it and drew up the deed which my father and mother signed and acknowledged in my presence in January, 1838. Here my parents settled permanently and here their seven youngest children were born."

--From "Centennial History of Pike County(MO)" by Clayton Keith, 1876.

"In the same year" (1817), says Hon. Thos. M. Carroll, "came the Carrolls, Henrys, Byers, Findleys, Peytons, Tilletts, and Glenns from York district, South Carolina, to Pike county. My father, Joseph Carroll was a blacksmith and brought with him his anvil and bellows. He located on a tract of land four miles south of the present site of Louisiana. His was the first blacksmith shop in Pike county and in it he taught his son, Thomas, the art."

While residing in York District, he enlisted and served at various times as a private and quartermaster-sergeant under Captains Thomson, Henderson, Garrison and Barnett, Col. Henry Hampton and Gen.Sumter. He was in the battles at Stono, Huck's Defeat, Rocky Mount, Kings Mountain, Quinby's Bridge and Eutaw Springs. C.S.; Salley, Doc., p. 51; M336. (Brothers John, Samuel and Thomas also served)

THE 1780 PRESBYTERIAN REBELLION AND THE BATTLE OF HUCK'S DEFEAT
(excerpt,Culture & Heritage Commission of York County)

Upon entering the Rocky Creek settlement in Chester County, the rebel forces learned that Huck was no longer at White's Mill, but instead was moving northwestward back into York County. Pushing on, the rebels arrived at the Williamson home before daylight on the 12th and made plans for a dawn attack. Dividing their force in two, the rebels placed one group to the north of the house while the other circled around to the east. At daybreak, as the British were just climbing out of their bedrolls, the attack began. Surprised by the suddenness of the attack, the British were thrown into chaos. Twice, the British tried unsuccessfully to mount a counterattack. Dashing from the Williamson house, Huck swung up onto his horse and waving his sword attempted to rally his force to meet the rebel threat. Thomas Carroll, sighting Huck, took aim and shot the Tory leader in the head. The British now lost what organized resistance they had and the fight became a running battle back to the south toward the Bratton house where some of the last fighting took place.
(Other Huck's Defeat reports below)

--"Proceedings of a Celebration of Huck's Defeat" originally published 7-12-1839. Here are some excerpts.

"John Carroll was the individual who has the honor of taking the life of Captain Huck. He shot him dead-two balls entering his head whilst endeavoring once more to rally his men. This Carroll, as well as his brother Thomas, fought bravely throughout the war-was in a variety of engagements, and always acquitted himself as a brave and daring soldier. It is said that his valor was of the most impetuous order, being usually ahead of all his comrades when going into battle. Perhaps I could not give you a better description of him than that which is given of another revolutionary hero-he was a Whig from the first, he was a Whig from the last, he didn't believe in the Tories, and he made the Tories believe in him."

"To the memory of Thomas Carroll, Charles Miles, James McElwee and Robert Gill-men of brave hearts and strong arms, they were able to fight and willing to do it. They were never found missing in the hour of danger, their backs were never seen by the enemy."

"We meet today to celebrate the victory gained here on July 12th, 1780......We but to show our appreciation of the privileges we enjoy and only perform our duty in doing honor to their memory........and to Thomas Carroll and John Williamson and all the patriot fathers whose prowess laid low Britain's pride on this field of battle."

~ History - Irish Settlers in America ~
For every Native American killed, 50 Irish settlers were either killed or kidnapped by Native Americans and a kind of litural bankruptcy took place in the Scots/Irish which would be termed racist genocide today. The Scots/Irish moved down the Cumberland to VA and Carolina. From PA to SC, they dominated. In the Shenandoah Valley between the Blue Ridge and Appalacian Mtns, two land grants existed. During the 1740's, here lived the Lyles, the Lusks, the Trimbles, and the Houstons. [Here we see another pattern developing. The old reevers of the Scots-English border, became the frontiersmen and the mountain men. The tenant farmers of the Scots settled in many of the same areas as the Palatines because of their similar history and disposition. However, even among the farmers, the Scots tended to be more scrappy than the Germans, as the Presbyterian Scots never had a pacifist background as did the Anabaptist Palatines.]
Orangemen ~ This name for the Scots/Irish comes from William III, Prince of Orange, and is kept because his victory over despotic power laid the foundation for the evolution of Constitutional Democracy in the British Isles.
