Interesting.  I have only begun to do research on the Carroll family and
it isn't easy because anything that I might find would be before the
1850 census.  My great great grandfather's mother was a Hettie Carroll,
I don't know if that was a nickname for Henrietta or Harriet but I
assume it was a nickname.  She was married and died in Illinois.  Her
son ended up in Hardman Oregon and in fact is buried there.

Hello Dale

Your last question about the name of Carroll County can field myself. 
Carroll County was organized in 1839, and was named for Charles Carroll.
He 
was a landowner and politician from Maryland.  He was one of the men who

signed the Declaration of Independence.  Since the first settlers were 
originally from Maryland and Charles was a political hero of the day the

name was bestowed on the County.  The brother of Daniel R Christian,
George 
W Christian donated the land that the current court house sits on this
very 
day.
