Hi my name is Linda and I am the new County Host
for Carroll
County. I
have
done
extensive
research
in this
county
along with
other
family
members. I
will be
posting my
own
families
information as I
can. My
father's
family
lived in both Carroll, Ray, and
other Counties
and some
of the
information may
possibly
be
duplicated. I
will
welcome any
family data (along with
the original
source
information),
just please do
not send me family trees
as I do
not
have the time
to
go thru and search
for the
older
information.
The
families that
I
personally
will
be
adding is
Standley/Stanley,
Helm,
Ashby,
Winfrey,
Humphries,
Trotters,
Addis, Kerr,
among many
others.
As I live
in
Oklahoma
I will
not be able
to do any
personal research
for
you, but
hopefully
can
steer you in the
right
direction.
One of my family
members
that I
will
be
placing alot of
information
on is
that
of John and
Rebecca
Standley who came
from North
Carolina in
1818 to what
would
soon
be known as
Carrollton, Carroll,
Missouri.
He
and his family
deeded
over land
to the
city of
Carrollton
for
the
town,
the
courthouse
square was
built on a
portion
of this
land. I
have
a
love of
history
and
family and I
hope that
your
research
takes you
to
where
your
families
feet have
trod and
that your
own path
will
soon be
followed
by those
who will
search
for you in years
to
come.
Alot of
my
information
I have obtained
on
a
trip to Carroll
County a
few years back,
plus I
am in
contact
with many
distant
cousins who have
helped
compile this
information. A
special thank
you
to Don
Winfrey and
June
Standley with
alot of
the
information
contained.
Please
feel free
to
email
me at
lscraig1951@yahoo.com
with any
questions,
submissions,
or
places
to look. If
there are any mistakes on
records please let
me
know.

I would like to dedicate this page to my great-great-great
grandparents,
Hugh and
Delilah
(Ashby)
Standley.
They were both
from
pioneer
families
of
Carroll
County,
Missouri.
Hugh was one of the
sons
of
John and
Rebecca
(Shinn)
Standley. Deliliah
was
the
daughter of
Jessie
Ashby
and
Sarah
Sally
Lucas
Ashby. I am
still searching
for
information
on Hugh's burial,
some believe he
was
buried in
Ray
County.
The picture
to the right
was
sent to me by
an older relative
L.D.
Thomas and
is the
only
picture
that has
been found, none have
been
found
for
Hugh.
Hugh
was
born in 1801
in
Wilkes,
North
Carolina and
died
July
1841 in
Ray
County,
Missouri.
Deliliah was born August
19,
1808
in Hopkins County,
Kentucky and
died
November
2,
1880
in or
near
Bosworth,
Carroll County,
Missouri.
She is buried in
Wharton
Cemetery.
My
family
line
extends thru
her
son
Bartlett
Christopher
(Tack)
Standley.
For some
reason
the
children
of the
next generation
dropped
the letter
"d"
from
their last name, so many of the
Stanley's are
actually descendants
of John
and
Rebecaa Standley
and their
children.
The
children
of
Hugh
and
Deliliah
are:
Larkin,
Sarah,
Elvira,
Bartlett,
Elizabeth
and
George.
Deliliah remarried after
her
first
husband's death to
James
Gentry, she
had
two
children
by him
Margaret
and
Hannah.
None of
her
family
can
locate any
information
on her
children by
James
Gentry. |

I have
set up a photo
bucket for Carroll County and this is where
I will place pictures
of
any
old
residents of the
county,
pictures
of headstones, pictures
of
old
buildings,
schools, churchs
etc. Please check
out this page often as
I
will be
adding
more
and more
pics.
