Hi All, Our Green families have formed a society and have had a site open with information since January. Our Green family was in the Illinois counties of Madison, Hamilton, Wayne, and Jefferson, probably others as well. If you have Green surname relations please drop. http://www.metrostlouis.com/greenfamily/ Thanks, Vicky Hunt

About Carroll settlement and the church there. ST. MARY’S CATHOLIC CHURCH The early Catholics held service at the Carroll settlement about seven miles south of Bunker Hill on Sundays even though there was no Priest available. The first Catholic Church to serve the present territory of the Bunker Hill parish was built in 1854 on the Prairietown road.  The church was made of brick and had an adjoining cemetery.  The only traces remaining now are fragments of tombstones in the pasture along the road to Prairietown.   The building of the railroad through Bunker Hill brought a number of Catholic settlers to town.  For a while, services were held at Bunker Hill and the parish on the Prairietown Road by several priests stationed in Alton.  Finally Bunker Hill became the more important congregation, and Bishop Juncker of Alton decided to station a resident pastor here who would see to the building of a new church.  The Rev. A. B. Rinkes was appointed the first pastor of Bunker Hill in 1865.  The work progressed in the new Bunker Hill Church, named in honor of the annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  During the next fifteen years, the church was improved in several ways; a remodeled sanctuary, a new addition to the front and  a steeple was added.  In the same period, a rectory and a parish school was built.  The school functioned successfully for many years, but later, so many families moved from the town it was impossible to continue.

The following information is from the Illinois trails history site http://www.iltrails.org/kane/stmary's.html This shows Michael died in Elgin Kane county IL after having served as pastor in Alton in 1841 FATHER MICHAEL CARROLL, THE SIXTH PASTOR. Father Michael Carroll was the next to succeed in charge of the parish of Elgin. He said his first mass here on June 27, 1858. During Father Carroll's pastorate, the property on which, St. Mary's Church now stands was secured and the building that stood on it served as a parochial residence for many years. Father Carroll did not live long to enjoy his new parish. He died on December 29, 1860. His remains, like those of his predecessor, were interred beneath the church. The Rev. Michael Carroll was born in Effin, County Limerick, Ireland. No record of his early career has been obtained. He was a pastor in Illinois before the diocese of Chicago was erected, having succeeded the Rev. George A. Hamilton, first pastor of the parish of Alton, in 1841. While pastor of that parish the following missions depended on his visitations: Brussels and Michael, Calhoun county; Carroll Settlement, or Ridgeley, near Bunker Hill, Macoupin county; Monks Mound and Edwardsville, Jersey county, and Liberty, Adams county. Though mass was said in a temporary structure when Father Carroll went to Alton, the first real church in that parish, St. Mathew's, was built by him in I845. There, in the following year, a successful mission was given by the Rev. F. X. Wenninger, S. I. On November 10, 1847, a Theological Conference of the southern part of the diocese of Chicago was held at Alton, and was presided over by Father Carroll. In February, 1849, the Rt. Rev. J. 0. Van de Velde, the newly consecrated bishop of Chicago, began the first visitation of his diocese by administering confirmation in this parish. St. Mathews Church was destroyed by fire 1851. Father Carroll and some prominent members of his parish then proposed a change of site; in this they were supported by their bishop, who authorized the erection of a new church, the present Cathedral Divine service was first held in the new church in 1846, Father Carroll officiating, though but the exterior of the edifice was completed. In 1857, when the rt. Rev. Henry Damian Juncker, D.D., the first bishop of Alton, left Dayton, Ohio, for his new field, Father Carroll resigned and returned to his bishop in Chicago; afterwards he made a visit to Ireland and the continent, and on his return to Chicago he was appointed to the pastorate of Elgin.

I am researching Carroll and Hawks and Green. Mary Carroll came with her brother Michael, a Catholic priest from Ireland in 1843. Mary married Patrick Carroll also from Ireland and possibly a priest also. They married in 1851. Solomon Hawks came from Virginia as a widower with children and married Elizabeth Green,daughter of John and Sarah Harris Green in 1851. Darla Wilson dlwilson@elberton.net
