Daughter of Alford Sharp and Elizabeth Loy. Paternal granddaughter of William Henry "Station Bill" Sharp and Rachel Steiner. Maternal granddaughter of John William "Fisher" Loy and Nancy Miller.
Rachel was the youngest daughter of ten surviving siblings. Both of her grandfathers were well-known figures, having been some of the first settlers of the Tennessee frontier. Some of her paternal grandfather's land became part of Big Ridge State Park in the present Union County.
She was married to Lt. Elias Sheridan Carroll on 13 November 1865, just five months after he resigned his commission in the Union Army.
Together they had thirteen children - nine that survived to adulthood, one that died at the age of thirteen, two believed to have been stillborn, and one whose death information is currently unknown.
Rachel survived her husband by three years, dying at La Follette in 1914. She is buried near her husband, and with several of their children.
