Your great-great grandfather, Atticus Carroll, was a sheriff's deputy in east Texas in 1940. Just like the show Andy Griffith and the character Andy Fife. I just see you kids wearing these little sheriff star badges when you were little and chuckle at the connection. Here's the 1940 Census that showed me that information.
