History of Seneca County, from the Close of the Revolutionary War to July, 1880; Embracing Many Personal Sketches of Pioneers, Anecdotes, and Faithful Descriptions of Events Pertaining to the Organization of the County and Its Progress, published 1880 names this settlement in its chapter on Venice Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 41 specimens collected within 10 miles of Carrothers between 1894 and 1969: 30 Animalia, 9 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Caldwell, Class & Daiber, F. C. (Frank C.), Collector(s): R. F. Lozin and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 3 workings within 5 miles of Carrothers: 3 past producers. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Clay, Limestone, General. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1048584.
