My gg grandfather, Elias J. Carroll, was the son of Samuel Lachlan Carroll and Elizabeth Henderson Carroll. He migrated with his father from York Co., SC to Fayette Co., TN in 1831. After the death of his father in 1843, Elias J. Carroll migrated to Navarro County, Texas in 1845 with his brothers, Abner, Joseph M. and Samuel N. Carroll and his sister, Ruth M. McFadden. They joined a wagon train from Sangamon County, Illinois consisting of the Fouty, Dixon, Dollheight and Tranwell families. The Carroll, Ross, Leonard, Tanklesly and Newman families joined the wagon train in Fayette County, Tennessee. The total group consisted of about 56 wagons when they stopped near Nacogdoches. The Carroll, Dixon, Ross, Tanklesly and Fouty families continued on to settle near Richland in Navarro County, Texas.

He is listed as a member of the Corsicana Masonic Lodge Number 174 in 1852. He patented 188 acres in the Alfred Lee Survey on 14 Feb 1852, 320 acres in the David D. Anderson Survey on 10 Jul 1856 and 320 acres in the N. H. Norris Survey on 10 Jul 1856 for a total of 828 acres in Navarro County. The 1880 Mortality Schedule lists Elias Carroll as married and the cause of death as "back disease." His birth and death dates were recorded from his tombstone in the Sand Flat Cemetery about 1985.
