I am searching for parents and beyond for Michael Carroll b. 1820 in Kingscourt, Offaly,
Ireland. I suspect that might be Kings County but it's written on all his papers so
I'm not sure. He migrated to the US and settled in Braxton County, WV - married
Elizabeth Brock. I suspect he is hte one who dropped the O in the O'Carroll when he
moved to the states. He had a son, William Henry, also known as "Paddy" which
is what they offhandedly called all Irishman back in the day. I guess that explains the
removal of the O. Any information would be quite appreciated. Carol.sparks(a)att.net
---thanks!
