Danny's ancestors, the Carroll's

Left to Right: William Henry Carroll, Lena Carroll, Belle Carroll (Danny's grand-mother, whom the kids called 'Monnie'), Viola Carroll (great-grand-mother), Eason Harmon Carroll (great-grand-father), Payton Lola Bryant Carroll (great-great-grand-mother), Elisha Carroll (great-great-grand father), and Hughey Carroll on the horse. They had it better than Danny's other side of the family. Notice the way the women stand with one arm behind them . They had a nice big house with rocking chairs on the big front porch and a breeze-way that was in the middle of the house which was called a 'Dog-Trot'.

Bob's mom's family are also Carrolls. I didn't know that Danny's family were Carrolls as well. I do know that Nanny's family originated from Ireland. Bob and I are going out to spend the day with Nanny's sisters on April 30 and I will ask some questions to see if there is any relation.dd
