Hi List,
I just joined and thought I¹d introduce myself by way of my Carleton search
goals. I¹m seeking information (and perhaps have some to share) on the
Daniel Carleton family of Ireland, then Newark, NJ USA. Daniel Carleton was
my ggg-grandfather.
Daniel Carleton was born Abt 1825, Ireland to John & Mary Carleton and died
25 Nov 1909, Newark, Essex Co., New Jersey. He was buried 27 Nov 1909 Holy
Sepulchre Cemetery, East Orange, Essex Co., New Jersey. He was married on 7
Nov 1854 at St. Patrick's, Newark, Essex Co., New Jersey to Margaret Hart
(b. 1830, Ireland), daughter of James & Rose Hart.
Although I always knew the surname as Carleton, I did find that Daniel
changed it ca. 1861 to Carrolton for some unknown reason. I am also not sure
what year he emigrated from Ireland, if any family came with him or which
county or parish he came from (although I¹ve seen a few Carleton¹s coming
from Cork & Mayo from the message board postings).
I¹m descended from Daniel via his daughter, Elizabeth Mary
Carleton/Carrolton in the following way: Elizabeth Mary Carleton/Carrolton >
Elizabeth M. Wilson > Margaret E. Steinmetz > Joseph W. Mann > Me
If anybody has information out there that than help me extend the family
line back further or fill out some more recent branches, please let me know.
I¹d also like to be able to help anyone else that may be connected in some
way if I can!
Joe Mann
