Hi Everyone..... James (b. 1796 Garadice, Co Meath, Ireland) & Isabella (b. 1799 same) CARROLL and one son, Robert CARROLL (b. 1817 Ireland) came to Canada @1818-1820. Shortly afterward, they moved down into the Plattsburgh area of Clinton County, NY. They had at least three more children: Paul CARROLL (b. 1822 NY) m. Margaret Kavanaugh; Matilda CARROLL (b. 08 Aug 1823 NY d. 09 Sep 1901 NY) m. James CLARK b. 24 Aug 1820 d. 29 Jan 1900 NY); and James CARROLL (b. 26 Jun 1828 NY d. 26 Oct 1903 NJ) m. Jane HOGAN (b. 1831 d. 12 Jul 1879). My brick wall is: I have traced three of the children (I am descended from James). BUT, what happened to Paul CARROLL and his descendants?? Paul CARROLL and Margaret KAVANAUGH had the following children: Isabella CARROLL (b. 1843 Clinton County, NY) Mary CARROLL (b. 1846 Clinton County, NY) James CARROLL (b. 1848 Clinton County, NY) John CARROLL (b. Sep 1850 NY d. 12 Dec 1877 Clinton County, NY) Matilda CARROLL (b. 1852 NY d. 02 Nov 1869 Clinton County, NY) Elizabeth CARROLL (b. 1855 Clinton County, NY) Margaret CARROLL (b. 1856 Clinton County, NY) Catherine CARROLL (b. 1859 Clinton County, NY) Robert F. CARROLL (b. Jun 1866 NY d. 01 Jan 1867 Clinton County, NY) In the 1860 Federal Census, Paul and his family were living in Chazy, NY. Also at that time Mary's mother, Mary Kavenaugh was living with them. In 1867, Paul's home on Protection Alley was destroyed by fire. Paul and Margaret are both supposedly buried in the Old RC Cemetery in Plattsburgh. I cannot find any thing else on him or his children (that didn't die early) after 1866. Any ideas?? I realize that so many daughters makes it a bit tougher to trace. Linda Carroll Bifulco
