Transcriber's Notes:
This appears to be the Joseph Caroon named in the will of John Caroon in 1791.
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of Ann Caroon to Thomas Payn on 8 Aug 1792, John Caroon security.
The will of William Dowdy in 1811 shows his wife's name was Sarah.
By process of elimination, it would seem that Patsy Caroon was married to Thomas M. Midyett.
