THe family migrated to Geargia iwhere Richmond Carroll married Sarah Driver on January 3, 1806. They had thirteen children, the oldest of which was John D. Carroll, who was born in Geargia on February 20, 1806. The family next moved to Alabama, then to Tennessee, then to Warren Co., Mississippi. There John D. Carroll married Julia D. Stadman at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Later Richmond Carroll, John D. Carroll and probably other members of the family moved to Union Parish near Spearsville, Louisiana, but about 1857 Richmond Carroll moved to Carrolltown, near Brewer and Teague. He is listed in teh 1850 census for Freestone County. Richard Carroll died December 1, 1868, and is buriedin Cotton Gin Cem. It was probably during the Civil War that John D. Carroll died July 7, 1886, and is buried in Driver Cem. In the meantime Steadman D. Carroll graduated in medicine in New Orleans at what is now Tulune University sometime between 1855 and 1860. He was practicing medicine in Grenada, Mississippi when the Civil War started. He volunteered and served two yearsas sergent and guidon for Com H, 13th Miss. Regiment. It is said he was carrying the flag for General Sidney Johnson when Johnson was shot off his horse and killed at the battle of Shiloh. On October 26, 1863, Dr. Carroll was wounded and sent to the General Hospital. Later, on Nov. 20, 1864, being unfit for field duty, he was ordered to report for special duty and he thereafter served in the hospitals until the end of the war. When peace was declared he came to Freestone County, riding the train to Houston which was the terminus at that time, and walking to Fairfield. He was married to Anna Virgina Echols on March 7, 1866. They settled near Luna and Dr. Carroll practiced medicne there from 1866 until the fall of 1903. It is said that Dr. Carroll never took the oath of allegiance to the United States, but that there was no man who loved his country more or hated a Yankee worse.
At one time Dr. Carroll was serving in Pennsylvania. He had relatives in that area on whom he went to call. The member of the family who opened the door hollered to another members that their "Rebel cousin" was there. Dr. Carroll became incensed at being called a Rebel, he never entered the hosue but left immediately and never saw that part of the family again.
