I've been able to track my family back to a Charles Carrell (or oll), Sr. who seems to have been married to a woman named Mary. They had quite a few other children - Grieve, John, Charles Jr., Susan, Freeman, Elizabeth, Kate, Francis, and Jane. I can't find who Charles, Sr.'s parents were, though. He was born in 1760, quite possibly in SC or NC. I would love to trace this back to the first immigrant in our family. If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate it if you would pass it on.
Either spelling sounds Irish but I'm afraid the first names dont match my family tree. Most Irish families have the same names down through the generations.
