My brick wall is my great-greatgrandfather's parents. My grgr-grandfather's name is William R.CARROLL, I have an approximate birth date of 1840, died in Fulton County, Illinois April 11, 1885. A pension application dated 1882 gives his age as 39. He married Hannah WESTON on June 21, 1862 in Fulton Co., IL. I found a Carroll in the Fulton County 1850 census, Orion township, which gives Samule Carroll(spelled as it is in the census), age 32, a farmer born in Ohio; Sarah Carroll, age 15, born IN; Anna Carroll, age 10, born IL; William Carroll, age 8, born IL; Mary Carroll, age 6, born Il; Pamelia Carroll, age2, born IL; and Emeline LOWDER, age 18, born IN. I think this might be my William R. Carroll, but I haven't been able to find anything to confirm this. Is anyone else researching this line of the Carroll family? Kay

Hi John, I'm glad you posted your note again as I owe you feedback from my trip to NJ. It appears your James Carroll from Boonton is the brother of my Lawrence Carroll, (b. Aug 1842, in Ireland, m. Rose Quigley 19 May 1873 in Patterson, NJ and d. 22 Nov 1918, in Boonton). Both James and Lawrence Carroll and their families are buried in St Mary's Cemetery in Boonton. While in NJ I obtained a lot of vital record documentation. Two such documents point to the same parents for James and Lawrence. I have a copy of the Marriage Return for James Carrol and Anne Rowe, who were married in Boonton on 31 May 1882, by Patrick F Downes. Parents are listed for the groom as James, from Ireland and Margaret O'Brien, also from Ireland. Anne's parents are listed as Patrick, from Ireland and Anne Cusick, from Ireland. At the time of their marriage, James was 28 and an Engineer while Anne is listed as 19. Mary Rowe signed as a witness. The Certificate and Record of Death for Lawrence Joseph Carroll lists his parents as James Carroll from Ireland and Margaret O'Brien, also from Ireland. Lawrence was a retired Railroad Engineer. Before my trip to NJ I contacted you to let you know I didn't think we had a match. Now I think we do. Please write to me separately and we can compare notes. I can provide some info on the Carroll side. Thanks.

My brick wall is Ephraim Carroll. He died in Killingly, CT in July 1880. Death cert. says he was 64 and was born in Providence, RI. Wrote to Providence for a birth cert. nothing. Found a marriage of Ephraim to a Sarah Ann B. Chase in the Westfield Congregational Church records in May 1841 in Killingly, CT. No vital there. The marriage record said he was from Smithfield, RI wrote there for a copy of the marriage cert. no again. He, Sarah, and oldest son Asa show up on the 1850 census of Glocester, RI. In all I have found 5 children. Asa Dow, Sarah D. not sure of birth place. Elizabeth, David P. and Elmer Grant all born in Killingly, CT. Any info or guidance of where to look next would be most helpful. Lynn

I just posted this to the list not too long ago, but will try again My Carroll Brickwall James Carroll known to have lived in Bowling Green, Warren Co KY in 1833 as that is where and when his son Henry Clay Carroll was born. Have no other children nor a wife for James. Henry Clay Carroll went from KY to White Co IL then to Dallas Co MO. With all the James Carroll's floating around I know this is a needle in a haystack, but one just never knows!!!!!! Blessings Sherry Carroll Qualls

This is as far back as I have been able to find. abstract for the will of Henry Carroll of Rockingham Co. NC. Henry Carroll died Dec. 18, 1832. Daughters: Sally Barber, Nancy Overby, Lany (?) M. Carroll Sons: William Carroll, Daniel Carroll, James Carroll, my wife's son Levin McCollister. I believe the William mentioned in the will is my William Carroll who moved to McNairy Co. TN between 1840-1850. Census records list his birthplace as NC or DE or MD.

I have James Carroll b1846 in Ireland, d1926 in Boonton, NJ, married to Ann Roe b 1862 in Boonton, NJ, died 1921 in Boonton, NJ. Does any one connect?

Dear Larry, I am also looking for a William Carrol. My greatgrandfather, David E. Steele, married my greatgrandmother, Margaret Ann Carroll, on Aug 21, 1842 in Saline County, AR., with Justice of the Peace S.T.Collier presiding. Margaret was born on Jan 27, 1824 and died Mar 22, 1901 in Hill Co, TX. Margaret was the daughter of William Carroll (b1793?). The 1880 Hill County TX US Census says Margaret was born in South Carolina and her father was born in SC and her mother was born in North Carolina. If you see a William that had a daughter, Margaret, born about 1824, please write. Thanks. Sharon Steele Doyle Houston TX

Thomas Carroll, born 1870 in County Roscommon, son of Thomas Carroll and Catherine Moran. Immigrated c 1890 to NYC area; last known address was Ozone Park in 1938. Looking for descendants. Catherine Carroll, reputedly born 1875 in County Roscommon, sister to Thomas above. Looking for her birthplace. Townland name is pronounced in Gaelic as "Baleiganeish". Does anyone have any idea what this name could be in modern day English? All efforts thusfar fruitless. Doris Sheehan sheehan@willex.com

My Carroll Brick Wall. I am a ggg-grandson of ANTHONY WAYNE CARROLL (or Carrel, 1806-1882) and Balinda Root, who married in 1826 at Granville, Licking County, Ohio. While Balinda Root's ancestors can be traced back to John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower, Anthony Wayne Carroll's family of origin remains a mystery. Over thirty years of research has failed to find them. He is said to be one of perhaps eight children. Briefly, this is what family legend claims Anthony Wayne Carroll said of his origins. His father named him after General Anthony Wayne whom he either admired or served with (or both). His father, name unknown, was killed in the War of 1812 (who knows which side?), and his mother, name also unknown, destitute and with eight children to feed, gave Anthony over to a well-off neighbor who offered to take a boy and teach him a trade. It is said she lined the kids up along the fence and let the man take his pick. The man chose Anthony, hoisted the boy into the saddle, and rode off. Anthony, who was about seven years old, remembered only that the man wore a long black cape. He also remembered his birthdate as February 20, 1806, born in western Pennsylvania, and at least how to pronounce his name. What happened during the next twenty years remains cloaked in mystery. The first official record found for him is his marriage certificate of 1826, whereupon his named is spelled Carrel, but ever afterward as Carroll. Whatever happened to his mother, his bothers and sisters, and even their names, remain unknown. He apparently never spoke of them to his wife, his eight children, or his many grandchildren. He probably didn't know. Anthony Wayne Carroll died in 1882 and is buried at Olathe, Johnson County, Kansas. I can find only three Carrolls known to have been killed in the War of 1812, who are Philip Carroll of Ohio, St. Claie Carroll, and John Carroll of Canada. I suspect Philip Carroll may be the father, as Anthony named his first son Philip, and there is also an index listing an Estate filing in Common Pleas Court, Jefferson County, Ohio for a Philip Carroll filed in 1814. Unfortunately the court clerk in Jefferson County cannot find the Estate records, and NARA cannot find any military records for Philip, so I am stuck. His children, all born near Granville, Licking County, Ohio were: Mary Damaris Carroll (1827-1902) d. Henry County, Illinois Philip Noble Carroll (1829-1889) d. Licking County, Ohio Alanson Root Carroll (1832-1907) d. Independence, Missouri Anthony Wayne Carroll Jr. (1834-1906) d. Kalkaska, Michigan (my gg-grandfather) Ellen Belinda Carroll (1836-1904) d. Colorado Springs, Colorado Moses Carroll (1837-1869) d. Licking County, Ohio Lydia Theresa Carroll (1839-1911) d. Independence, Missouri James Dilly Carroll (1845-1883) d. Marshall County, Illinois If any of this rings a bell with anyone please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would like to find my missing Carroll roots. They seemed to be English, and Presbyterian, and in the Northeast (or even Canada), and probably not related to the Irish Catholic Carrolls of Maryland, etc. I have posted my Carroll GEDCOM at RootsWeb WorldConnect. Thank you! Eric ericbear@flash.net
