The oldest record of a Carroll I’ve found in Barnwell County, in the correct location for our Carroll group, is Thomas Carroll Sr. Thomas Carroll Sr. bought as an indenture 85 acres known as Windy Hill Plantation from John Mc Cullough for 20 pounds sterling in 1788. Thomas Carroll Sr. paid 10 pounds sterling on the day the agreement was written and owed 10 pounds sterling and one pepper corn per year for the remainder of the indenture. Windy Hill Plantation originally belonging to a tract of 350 acres granted the 28th day of July 1778 to George Gray. This tract was said to bounding George Ford's servant land and vacant on all other sides.Thomas Carroll Sr.’s will is on file at the SC Archives:

In his will Thomas Carroll Sr. gives the Lower Tract of Windy Hill Plantation to his “beloved son” Jacob Carroll and Upper Tract of Windy Hill Plantation to his younger son Thomas Carroll, Jr. He gives his daughter, Elizabeth Carroll, 1 guinea. To his other daughter, Mary Carroll, who was the executor of his will half of his personal property to be shared with Thomas Jr.
Windy Hill Plantation is released from indenture to the Carroll family in 18 Oct 1803. Jacob Carroll writes the contract to sell his half of Windy Hill Plantation for 9 pounds 6 shillings and four pence for 42 acres and his “half of land which my father of land gave me by will” to Mary Carroll Odom (his sister) in 13 September 1803 but the sale is not recorded until 18 Oct 1813. It stated Jacob was a “planter” in the sale of land to his sister Mary Carroll Odom. Jacob already had his own land before his father died. He is seen as head of household on the 1800 census just down from Thomas Carroll Sr. Mary Carroll Odom eventually sells her share back to Thomas Carroll, Jr.
Thomas Carroll, Jr sells Windy Hill Plantation to David Hair the contract was written in 25 January 1831, recorded in March 1833. Directly under the sale of Windy Hill Plantation to David Hair is Henry Hartzog buying Windy Hill Plantation from David Hair.
Henry Hartozg gives Windy Hill Plantation to Mary Head the daughter of Maragret Reed Head and Newport Head. Henry Hartzog is the son of John and Maragret Felder. Sarah Hartzog is the daughter of Daniel Hartzog and Susannah Zorn who married Abraham Carroll
