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.
The stone at the left is the Revoluntary War Marker of Nathaniel. It is in the Old Bethel Cemetery at Denton, Arkansas. Click on the URL above and read more about it.
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.
