Eli was the son of Ellie Richardson and William H. Carroll. Ellie and William weren't married until a month before he was born, but he had an older brother, Arthur who shared his surname.
Ellie would have been 17 years old at the time of Eli's birth, whilst William would have been 27. No birth certificate has been found because in Texas, the records start after 1903.
In the meantime, he and his brother will remain linked to the woman who raised him.
