Carroll, Rev. John Lemuel, was born in Duplin Co., N. C., Dee. 21, 1836. He made a profession of religion at the early age of nine, and became a member of the Beaver Dam church; he was licensed to preach by the same church, January, 1853; was educated at Wake Forest College and at the University of North Carolina, graduating at the latter institution with distinction in 1863. He was ordained in the college chapel May 12, 1862, and was the pastor of several churches in his native State. Mr. Carroll was also an instructor in Ox- ford Female College, and afterwards pastor of the Oxford church. In 1869 he became agent for St. John’s College, Oxford, in which he was very successful, after which he resided at Wake Forest College, being at the time a trustee of the institu- tion and secretary of the board, and being also the pastor of several churches. In March of 1871 he was invited to the pastorate of the church in War- renton, Va., in which field he is still laboring. Few men excel Mr. Carroll in apt and vigorous extemporaneous speaking in denominational meet- ings. From the Baptist Encyclopedia by William Cathcart photo from findagrave
