Dear Sir:

Though a letter from Mrs Ira E. Tranter, of Franklin. Ind., who is chairman of Soldier's graves for Johnson Co. Ind.; in answer to a letter I had written her to enquire about the
parentage of my gr-gr-grandfather, Adam Carrell (Carrol, Carrel. ect) she told me, he was the son of Bartholomew Carrol, Sr., who was a Revolutionary soldier and a pensioner, having
made application for his pension while a resident of Dearborn County, Ind. She said his claim was # S.35827,

Mrs Tranter says Bartholomew Carrol's will is in Johnson County, but he only mentions a son Bartholomew and wife Catherine, an then his son Adam was appointed administrator. We think there were several children but have been unable to find anything about them. The Carrol family came originally from Virginia. My gr-grandfather, Adam Carrell was married on Aug. 20, 1812, in Harrison County, Ky. to Sarah Swinford. Elisha Swinferd, signed the marriage bond with Adam Carrell, so we think he must have been Sarah's father. But he, Elisha died in the next year, 1818. I made a trip to Harrison County. Ky. about a month age to find this information. Some of the Swinford family seem to think the family came to Harrison County. Ky. from Va., while others think
it was North or South Carolina. And other say they were from both. But there seemed to be in Harrison County three Swinfords
before 1800 and their families. They were John, Elisha and/Joshua I find a John Swinford in Newberry county S. C. in the 1790 census
and find several other families or family names who married into the Swinford family very early in Harrison County. such as Caldwell, Chandler, Loveless, Clark,ect. so I believe that is really where they came from. So I am wondering if you have any Rev. soldiers who drew pensions, and who was in the War from these places.

by the name of Swimford
The name is not common in most places, at least. Sarah Swinford was born in 1787 or 6.

I am planning on coming to "Washington D. C. in the spring to the D. A. R. National Conference, so was wondering if you permitted the public to look throgh these Rev. War Claims?

I will appreciate any information you may be able to give me in the above Bartholomew Carrol or Swinford. Thanking you for an
early reply, I am,

Sincerely yours,
(over)
grace HartScott (Mrs D.J)
