Looking for information on the marriages of William Otis Carroll to Mary
Boyden on Nov. 24, 1847 and their daughter Abby Frances who married Edward
Augustine Boyden on Nov. 17, 1881.
I got the above information from the Boyden genealogy book, hoping to add
more to it.
Thanks,

Bay City is on Saginaw Bay (Lake Huron), right near Saginaw (City). It is,
amazingly enough, in Bay County.
Your best bet is to get the Soundexes for 1900 and 1920 censuses.

Dear Mary Kay:
Thanks for the response about Rock Co, WI. I have not been there. I am
trying to figure out how/why so many Irish migrated to WI ? Do you know any
background history of immigration into WI before Civil War. Lots of people
have contacted me about my recent posting about 'my' James Carroll/Jane
Dunnigan and have ancestors who also migrated into WI. It's been wonderful.
Many people have 'hints' that perhaps their Irish ancestors were in Canada
prior to moving into WI which makes good sense from a geographic point of
view -- and as you have said, the area looks/feels similar to Ireland. In
early 1800s, was the area of southwestern Wisconsin a farming area?
As to why James Carroll/Jane Dunnigan moved to Howard Co, IA -- I don't know
the real answer, but I suspect that farm lands opened up about that time. I
have other ancestors who migrated into Howard Co, IA from western PA in the
early 1860s also -- so something was going on to attract settlers from a
wider area than even nearby WI and I just suspect that it has to have been
something to do with reasonable land prices. I haven't done enough good,
solid research into Iowa history as yet, so this is just my best guess at
this point. I would be interested in anything YOU know about why there were
so many Irish families in Wisconsin in an era when we think that the typical
Irish immigrant entered America on the East Coast and stayed in large urban
cities. That's an over simplification on my part, I know, but I can't fathom
how James Carroll wound up there probably as early as 1852.
Also, thank you for the referral to DUNNAGANS OF ANY SPELLING. I just did an
internet search and didn't find a web site although I found a reference to a
newsletter of this name on a specific DUNNAGAN family web site. Would you be
able to refer me to an address or some other means of connecting with
DUNNAGANS OF ANY SPELLING. I have made no headway on my dear little Jane
Dunnigan great grandmother. Any direction you could provide would be much
appreciate.
Look forward to hearing back.
Carol
searching for info on Thomas Arch Carroll,born in 1881,Siloan
Springs,Ark. He was living in Parkhill Okla in 1942. His parents were
John and Martha Rolls Carroll. Any info would be a great help.
Thanks

I reread what I sent but still didn't catch my mistake. Just realized it as I
looked at some Carroll listings. The John Carroll in Bay City Michigan is
correct. The one possible going to stay with him should be grandfather
Michael Patrick Carroll. Scratch Thomas. I confused the names.
Thanks
Nancy from South Carolina
Am hoping someone might know of a John Carroll who lived in Bay City,
Michigan in 1902. Would like to know if he had a daughter named Nelly.
Possible my g uncle went to stay with him when he arrived from Ireland
through Ellis Island. His name was Thomas R. Carroll. Or if someone knows
what county Bay City would have been in back then, maybe it could be checked
on census if one were done soon after that. If I know the county and if it is
one that is on Ancestry.com, I would be glad to check it for myself but my
luck that would be the one not there.
Thanks in advance

Stedman D Carroll from Carroll County Mississippi served in the Civil War in
Captain Stanford's Company, Mississippi Light Artillery. His rank at
discharge was "Guidon". Does anyone know what this rank means? In later
life he was a medical doctor.
Does anyone have a short history of this Regiment?
Thanks

To Carol Vass.
I live in Milton, Rock Co. Wisconsin not far from Janesville and
this area is truly much like some parts of Ireland. When my husband and
i were there 2 years ago the thought crossed my mind that maybe I was
home again and didn't know it.
I belong to the Rock County Genealogical Society and our latest
newsletter has a good article by a Dick Dunagan who belongs to a group of
DUNNAGANS OF ALL SPELLINGS. Have you heard of it? Maybe you can get
some information there.
A question about Howard Co, Iowa. One of the surnames that I am
researching is O'MALLEY and I have some information about an O'MALLEY who
moved from Rock Co, Wi to Howard Co, Iowa and always wondered why he
moved there. Any ideas?

Dear Mike:
I would very much like to have the name of the Illinois St. Patrick's priest.
I have no indication at all that 'my' James Carroll was in Illinois. I have
only tracked him to the WI records and then he moved to Howard Co, Iowa --
which is actually not all that far from Janesville, WI. But, you are right,
it might be well worthwhile to try to find some records for CARROLLs in
Heartland, IL. 'My" James CARROLL was born in Ireland in 1819, and then I
don't know where he was until 1852 when his daughter Alice was born,
apparently in Janesville, WI. That's a lot of years when he could have been
running around anywhere.
Do you know why the Heartland CARROLLs came to Illinois in the first place?
Do you think they came before the potato famine? [ I haven't been to
Ireland, Wisconsin or Heartland, IL -- but, have been to Howard Co, IA and I
don't think it resembles Ireland. :>) ]
Very much appreciate your offer and look forward to hearing back from you.

I am seeking information on Edwin Thornton CARROLL Sr. He was born in 1877
in Waycross Ga., he married Eva PRICE SOLOMAN in 1903 in Headland Alabama,
he died in 1929 I believe, in Waycross Georgia, who were his parents and
grandparents.
Was the line originally from Virginia or did they settle in South Carolina.

Dear Kathy:
I think this is a long shot. I am looking for James CARROLL [b. 1819, Co.
Queens, IR]. I don't know what year he immigrated to US, but I can find him
in January1857 in Janesville, Rock Co, WI where he married Jane DUNNIGAN*.
It is somewhat apparent that James Carroll had had a prior marriage to ?
because he has a daughter, Alice Carroll who was born in Janesville in 1852.
By 1860 census, James Carroll/Jane Dunnigan, along with his daughter and
their first son John Carroll, b. October1857 in Janesville, have moved to
Howard Co, Iowa. [*It has been thought that Jane's surname was DONOVAN,
however, the marriage records in St. Patrick's Church in Janesville identify
her name as DUNNIGAN. oooooops -- my sister even gave her son the middle
name of Donovan!!!]
It has always been a puzzle how/why James Carroll was in WI and I have only
recently begun exploring the possibility that he may have first immigrated to
Canada before he came to America. There is a some possiblity that 'my' James
Carroll had a relationship with 'a' Catherine CARROLL, [b. ~1805 in IR]
/Daniel HANNIGAN [b. ~1785 in IR], who married ~1820/25 in IR -- but that is
unproven speculation at this point.
Nothing in your recent posting about your CARROLLs shows any clear connection
to 'my' CARROLLs beyond the Wisconsin connection and none of your CARROLLs
moved to Iowa. So, I may be ALL wet. I have no credible information that
James CARROLL came through Canada, but it seems a logical possibility based
on his presence in Wisconsin as early as 1752. I wanted to touch base with
you -- just in case.
I have just recently returned from a long genealogy research trip and am
overwhelmed with information on other family lines that I am busily
transcribing and trying to sort into good order. But if there is any
possibility that something in this email rings a bell, I would be very happy
to 'join forces' so to speak.
Look forward to hearing back from you.

I am researching Roger Carroll and Mary Gallagher Carroll.
They were both born in Ireland around 1807-1820 (depending on which
census you read) They lived in Hamilton, Ontario Canada 1846-1853.
Possibly earlier, but 1846 is when one on the kids was born there.
They are on the 1860 Black Earth Township, Dane County WI census and it
shows the following children:
John 12 born in Hamilton Ontario Canada,
Catharine 10, born in Hamilton Ontario Canada,
William 8, born in Hamilton Ontario Canada,
Mary Ann 7, born in Hamilton Ontario Canada,
and then born in WI are
Bridget 5,
Thomas 4,
Michael 2.
Maggie was born three years after Michael.
In the 1870 census for the same location, some of the kids have 'moved',
there is John 23, Bridget 15, thomas 5 and Margaret 2.
In the 1880 census, for the same location, Mary is now widowed.
John Carroll married Anna Foley and they lived in Southern MN (Owatonna
mostly)
Catharine "Kate"Carroll married James McGinnity -Waldwick, Iowa County
WI (children are Alice and Daniel)
William Carroll born abt 1850 in Hamilton Ontario CA, I still don't
know anything about except he lived in Madison.
Mary Ann Carroll lived with her sister Kate in 1870 census and married
James Laverty, also from Waldwick, Iowa County WI
Bridget Carrol married Mike White of Prairie du Chien WI
Thomas Carroll 1854-1949-2 kids Wm J born 6-19-1886 and Harold 2-16-1901
I think Thomas' wife name is Catherine
Maggie Carroll apparently lived single, taking care of her mother in
Black Earth Township, Dane County WI.
John Roger Carroll and Anna Foley Carroll and their kids lived in
southern MN. (Owatonna, Blooming Prairie, Waseca, Rochester, Tracy,
Ellendale, St. Paul). Their kids married into the following families:
Lynard, O'Leary, Laughlin, Moran, Sullivan, Weiler.
I hope this info gives someone a connection out there.
We need help finding the rest of the family. :-)
