Notes - Born the son of John Wesley Carroll (1788 β 1852) and Elizabeth Redwine Carroll (1788 β 1859). Married 20 Dec 1838 in Franklin Co., Ga. to Huldah Smith Hearne (1821 β 1856) and their children were John Franklin Carroll (1839 β 1910), Stephen Glynn Carroll (1841 β 1897), James Crayton Carroll (1843 β 1920), Nancy Jane Carroll (1845 β ), Howell M. Carroll (1847 β 1860), William A. Carroll (1850 β 1860). Huldah died during a Wagon Train trip when the Carrolls moved from Georgia to Louisiana. Worms destroyed their cotton crop that first year and they returned to Georgia. There is a 1857 trip log of the second trip. The second trip had grown to some 40 people, including three slaves. They did not pick a very good time of year to make the trip but were a determined group. Lucinda Jordan, a widow, married John Wesley Carroll back in Campbell, Georgia on 9 May 1857 after Carroll's first wife died on the first trip. With Lucinda Bond Jordan (1819 β 1870) John Wesley Carroll had two additional children, Francis Carolyn Carroll (1858 β 1926), and Emily Katherine Carroll (1860 β 1926). During the Civil War on 15 Jun 1861 John Wesley Carroll enlisted with his brother James at Camp Moore, LA. in the Confederate Army in the 8th Louisiana Infantry Regiment. He fought in the Battle of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and many others & Mustered out on Apr 9 1865 at Appomattox Court House while fighting under Gen. Robert E. Lee. At some time he was married to Jeanie Hearne and after the death of Lucinda his last marriage was around 1883 to Charity E. Thompson (1848 β 1929) and they had one son, Lewis Wesley Carroll (1884 β 1925). On August 18, 1957 hundreds of the descendants gathered at Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church in Chatham, La. for the "100th Wagon Train Celebration." A large memorial marker has been installed at the Brooklyn Methodist Church marking the remarkable Wagon Train of the families of 1857. This is the location of their wagon train's arrival.
