In looking through the CA death index I found two entries that may be part of my family of CARROLLs. Does anybody know anything about the CARROLL that married unknown BIGGS? The following information is for a Henry Merton CARROLL and Charles CARROLL. This information seems to fit in with a family lineage that I have also included below. Per the CA Death Index: CARROLL, Henry Merton Born 6-30-1874 in KY Died 10-8-1948 in Merced aged 74 years Mother's maiden name: BIGGS Father's name: CARROLL CARROLL, Charles Born 3-8-1877 in KY Died 4-23-1962 in Stanislaus aged 85 Mother's maiden name: BIGGS Father's name: CARROLL I am hoping this information fits in with the information that I have on John CARROLL - as follows: This information on my CARROLL family is from the 1880, 1900 & 1910 census. Of course it is inconsistent. It would be great to find a relative out there and maybe together we could put all the pieces together. In 1880 the family was living in Simpson County, KY in the township of Franklin. In the 1900 and 1910 census the parents and the younger children were living in Napa County, CA and living in the Napa Township. CARROLL, John -born betw 1842 & 1844 (see below for inconsistent info found) UNKNOWN, Cynthia - born betw 1844 & 1845 (see below for inconsistent info) children: CARROLL, Hannah (Annie), born KY abt. 1862, married John Vanmeter WINSTEAD, lived Hardin County KY. Died 1904 in Louisville KY. CARROLL, Johnie, born in KY abt. 1868. CARROLL, Jamie, born in KY abt. 1872. CARROLL, Henry M., born in KY in 1873, in CA in 1900. CARROLL, Charles T., born in KY in 1877, in CA in 1900. CARROLL, Elizabeth, born in KY in 1880, in CA in 1900. CARROLL, May, born in KY in 1882, in CA in 1900. CARROLL, Francis, born in KY in 1886, in CA in 1900. CARROLL, Blanche, born in KY in 1889, in CA in 1900. The census reports indicate that there was at least one other child born. And either May or Blanche CARROLL married a gentleman who was the warden of San Quentin Prison (per my mother). Inconsistent information found: JOHN CARROLL (C or E), born betw. 1842 & 1844. In the 1880 and 1900 census it said he was born in Ireland. In the 1910 census it shows that he was born in TN. CYNTHIA CARROLL, born betw. 1844 & 1845. In the 1880 census her first name was listed as Seintha. I don't know her maiden name. In the 1880 census it shows she was born in KY. In the 1900 census it shows that she was born in TN. In the 1910 census it shows that she immigrated in 1846 from either Ireland or England (I cannot read the writing). It would be great to hear from others researching this family. nanc innes innesn@aol.com
