At residence of Crawford Dickerson Carrothers, Moorefield Tp, Harrison Co, O (P.O. Freeport R.D. 1) Aug 21, 1925 12:55 PM

Mr C. says they are just half way between Freeport & Cadiz & for the Hist of their family has gotten out the "Com & Biog Hist of Harrison & Carroll Cos, Chicago, J.H. Beers & Co 1891" & on page 494 is a sketch of his father Beatty Carrothers which I can see at home. Mr Carrothers says that his great grandfather, James Carrothers & his wife had both died in Ireland which his mother told me was at Enniskellen, County Fermanagh & after their death (about two years after) their three sons & he thinks that was all the children his father ever spoke of, concluded to come to America & did so in 1803, all coming together as far as Canada. In order of ages, they were John, George & William. John located in Canada & lived & died there. Said all three brothers were single when they came over together on the same ship. When Mr C. was in Tenn in 1895 2 1/2 miles west of Franklin, Tenn, he met Harry Carrothers about his own age & height & Sandy complexion with the Carrothers cheek bones who was a son of Wm who had died near Toronto, Can & Wm was a son of his, C.D's [best guess]

father's, Uncle John. Harry was living on the farm referred to in 1895 & was a farmer, married & had one son. Thinks they may be there yet. Mr C's father wrote to him & had one letter confirming the above relationship. Don't think there were any brothers or sisters left in Ireland. George & William came to Washington Co, Pa together & were in the distilling business. He says that he knows nothing of what became of William Carrothers the brother of his grandfather who came to Wash Co, Pa with him & says his father never could tell them anything about him. He says his grandfather, George Carrothers is buried at the Nottingham Pres Ch g.y. in Moorefield Tp 1 1/2 miles from here & has a marker, a tall slender stone about the middle of the cem & his last wife, Ann is buried with him. Thinks his first wife might be buried on a Dunlap farm between Caseville & New Athens. Says, however, to look for two tombstones near the Rev Crawford mon by the gate at Nottingham g.y Page 494 above hist are named the several children of George Carrothers: 1st James Carrothers married here to 1*Lizzie Cope of Minxville, this Co & had 3 children, Robert, Ciddie & Margaret
