Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
John Carroll was a South Carolina colonist.

This research was done by Robert Carroll, Ph.D.

John Carroll (Carrel) was born about 1771 in Colleton District, SC, and died about 1810 in Catahoula Parish, LA. Around1802 he married Mary Scoggins, daughter of Jonas and Catherine Scoggins who were in the Adams Co., MS, area before 1790. Mary was most likely not John’s first wife as his three sons (John, William and Thomas) were all born between 1790-1800, according to census records.
John Carroll is found on the1792 MS Early Census Index in the Natchez District, and on the MS 1810 Territorial Census Tax List. He was listed as an original owner of 204 acres on Fairchild’s Creek on March 30, 1798 in the Mississippi Territory. On that same date, Benjamin Carroll (unknown relationship) was listed as the original owner of 535 acres of Buffalo Creek. John Carroll and his wife Mary Scoggins received a gift of 100 acres of land in Catahoula Parish from her parents on Feb. 2, 1805. On the same day, the Scoggins also gave 100 acres in the neighborhood of Pine Ridge to Moses Carroll and his wife Amelice (Amelia) Scoggins. Amelice and Mary (also listed as Polly) are named as daughters of Jonas and Catherine in his will.

John and Moses were brothers. Moses was found on the MS 1810 Territorial Census Tax List. Absalom Carroll is mentioned in several Catahoula Parish records with Johh Carroll. It is possible that this Absalom, who died about 1829 in Jones Co., MS, was also John’s brother

After John’s death, his widow Mary married James Wright. On April 5, 1810, she bound her son Thomas into the care of John Bowie for 10 years. Bowie was to teach Thomas writing and arithmetic fundamentals and at the end of his tenure was to supply him with two suits of clothes and a horse, saddle, and bridle. Mary appointed her son William Carroll as her attorney to sell the land belonging to the heirs of John Carroll in 1813.
