Cousin John Carroll (son of Ben Carroll) shared this news with me.

Back in 2017, Ben's twin brother Marvin died.  Click here for his obit.

Here's the family connection:

Marvin, Ben & their sister Mary (surviving)
John Branch Carroll & Mary (Powell) Carroll (their parents)
Marvin Cook Carroll & Lula (Mixon) Carroll (their grandparents)
Major Carroll & Sarah (Branch) Carroll (their g-grandparents)
James Carroll (Jr.) & Penelope (Kennedy) Carroll (their gg-grandparents)
James Carroll (Sr.) & Rhoda (Stephenson) Carroll (their ggg-grandparents)

James and Rhoda Carroll lived in Johnston County, North Carolina.  A couple of years after James died, Rhoda migrated to Dale County, Alabama with several of her adult children.  This was in 1836.  It was James Carroll (Jr.) who was a Major for a Dale County (AL) militia in the Indian wars.  And when he had a son, he named him Major.

Rhoda's father was Solomon Stephenson, Jr..  He and his father, Solomon Stephenson, Sr., were Revolutionary War patriots.
