  1. Joseph Carrico b. 1849 d 1909 was the son of William J. Carrico.1820-1897 Was his mother Jane O’Daniel b 1821 death unknown? Thanks in advance.

    • Dottie, William Carrico married Jane O’Daniel 18 Oct 1842. When I check the baptismal records for St. Rose there is a William M. Carrico and Mary Jane O’Daniel, there are only three children listed – Mary Hallie born in 1843, Mary Elizabeth born in 1845 and James Anderson born in 1856. There are a lot of years between 1845 and 1856 – could they have moved to another parish during that time? Census records – 1850 – no William listed. 1860 – Aha! There they are – William M. (and this is correct – he’s always listed with this initial) 39, Mary J. 37, Mary E. 15, Francis 13, Joseph 11, Susan 7 and Anderson 4. Perhaps they lived in Marion County for awhile – lots of O’Daniels there!

  2. Thanks Phyllis for your update on Joseph Carrico and his family. Yes, I noticed that I also have his father as William M. Carrico 1830-1897 instead of William J. so I wanted to be sure that I had the correct family since you had his name William J. I see that I have William M. also married to Mary Jane O’Daniel Thanks. Now I can add the “rest of the story” to their family.
