I am searching for information on my 4 great-grandfather Robert Carroll (1734 – 10/28/1831 Washington County, Pennsylvania, USA), his wife, Mary (aka Margaret) Bell (1747 – 4/5/1811 Washington County, Pennsylvania, USA) & family. · Family history indicates they were born in County Antrim and left due to religious persecution, (no proof available except tradition/family history) · The information listed below indicates they left Londonderry, Ire. on 8/14/1768 and landed in New Castle, Delaware, USA on 10/3/1768, (their ship may have had an ultimate destination of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA) · Family history indicates their original surname was McCarroll (no proof available except tradition/family history and a few tombstones with that name). Other spellings of their surname found on tombstones, census and family bibles are CARRAL, CARREL & CAREL. · Family history indicates the original origin of our family may have been Scotland (no proof available except tradition/family history.) Any information is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Lou Lou Emeterio [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) ___________________________________________ The Raymond M.

I do hereby request the favor of Mr. Smith, to wash and shave and go and inquire of Mr. James GILASPY, on the headwaters of Buffalo Creek, and Robert CARREL on the head waters of the Wheeling Creek, two gentlemen which sailed with me from the port of Londonderry, the 14th day of August in the year 1768, and landed at Newcastle, DE. the 3rd day of October following and acknowledge himself a malicious caluminator. /S/ Myles HAYDAN of Ten Mile Creek, Washington County.
