Our family is: from Patrick H Carroll born in Ireland 1810 and died May 18, 1878 in Dubuque, Iowa. He married for sure, a Francis K Tucker, a widow November 27, 1851 in Macon, GA. I have all family information from that time on to present. But we have no definate knowledge from his time in Ireland ( was told Tipperary ) till he shows up in GA 1851, we have a big gap there. Have found a possible father and mother but nothing further to really connect him to them other than the fact he shows up as a son, same name and date of birth to a William Carroll Abt 1780 married to a Bridget Clary abt 1784 in Ireland. It also says that Patrick married a Mary Power abt 1841 in UK she being a daughter of a James Power and Mary Pendergas. She was born in Ireland in 1820. IF he did marry before Francis Tucker, it would give something to go on his time before coming to the States??? How to find out for sure any suggestions? Bernadette (Carroll) Schattilly
