Their first child, Susan, was born in Tennessee in 1837 and their second child, Woodson Carroll, was born in Mississippi in 1839. Albert patented land (purchased from US government) in Chickasaw Co., MS in 1839. In 1852, land he owned in Chickasaw Co., MS was part of that county that was combined with areas of two other counties to form Calhoun Co, MS. Albert was a Justice of the Peace in the 1840s in Chickasaw Co., MS and then was elected as one of the first five members of the Board of Police, now known as the Board of Supervisors, for the newly created Calhoun County, MS. He cast the deciding vote to create Pittsboro as the county seat for Calhoun County, MS.
