I am researching Roger Carroll and Mary Gallagher Carroll. They were both born in Ireland around 1807-1820 (depending on which census you read) They lived in Hamilton, Ontario Canada 1846-1853. Possibly earlier, but 1846 is when one on the kids was born there. They are on the 1860 Black Earth Township, Dane County WI census and it shows the following children: John 12 born in Hamilton Ontario Canada, Catharine 10, born in Hamilton Ontario Canada, William 8, born in Hamilton Ontario Canada, Mary Ann 7, born in Hamilton Ontario Canada, and then born in WI are Bridget 5, Thomas 4, Michael 2. Maggie was born three years after Michael. In the 1870 census for the same location, some of the kids have 'moved', there is John 23, Bridget 15, thomas 5 and Margaret 2. In the 1880 census, for the same location, Mary is now widowed. John Carroll married Anna Foley and they lived in Southern MN (Owatonna mostly) Catharine "Kate"Carroll married James McGinnity -Waldwick, Iowa County WI (children are Alice and Daniel) William Carroll born abt 1850 in Hamilton Ontario CA, I still don't know anything about except he lived in Madison. Mary Ann Carroll lived with her sister Kate in 1870 census and married James Laverty, also from Waldwick, Iowa County WI Bridget Carrol married Mike White of Prairie du Chien WI Thomas Carroll 1854-1949-2 kids Wm J born 6-19-1886 and Harold 2-16-1901 I think Thomas' wife name is Catherine Maggie Carroll apparently lived single, taking care of her mother in Black Earth Township, Dane County WI. John Roger Carroll and Anna Foley Carroll and their kids lived in southern MN. (Owatonna, Blooming Prairie, Waseca, Rochester, Tracy, Ellendale, St. Paul). Their kids married into the following families: Lynard, O'Leary, Laughlin, Moran, Sullivan, Weiler. I hope this info gives someone a connection out there. We need help finding the rest of the family. :-) Kathy at Kathy.Sullivan@anoka.k12.mn.us or msully@pclink.com
