Herbert Carroll was born October 20, 1895 to Daniel Boone Carroll and Amanda Simmons Carroll in Carter County, Kentucky. He was the 14th of 15 children. He was raised on a farm located on Everman Creek in Carter County. On March 20, 1918, at the age of 22, he married Helen Swanagan in Grayson, Carter County, Kentucky. They were blessed with two daughters, Wilma and Thelma. Tragedy struck right after Thelma's birth in 1921 when Helen died from complications of childbirth.
