Surnames: CARROLL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1hH.2ACEB/3518.1.1 Message Board Post: My Carroll information goes back to Borrisoleigh, Parish Drum, County Tipperary, Ireland, to SAMUEL CARROLL b. 1723, a properous farmer. His eldest son, WILLIAM b. about 1765 was the father of JOHN b.1790 d.1881 who was my ancestor who left home and settled here on Mount Desert Island, Maine. His siblings, all born in Borisoleigh were, MARTIN - SAMUEL - RICHARD - THOMAS - WILLIAM - ELIZABETH (m.Berry or Barry) - CATHERINE (m. John Burke). I would be happy to share any history I have if you are interested.
