My GG-grandmother Ellen Carroll( 1813 Ireland- 1871 Westville, N.Y.) with her husband John
Duffy migrated to the United States in 1839. Settling in 1840 in Malone, Franklin Co. New
York. By 1855 they had moved to Westville, Franklin Co. New York. There are several
Carroll families in Malone, Westville. It has been suggested that Ann Carroll, married to
Neil McCaffrey was a sister to Ellen., it is also been suggested that they may have had a
brother Phillip living in the same area.
John & Ellen had a son Phillip born 1840, who may have been named after an uncle
Phillip. Ann's parents were Hugh Carroll & Catherine(maiden name unknown) There is
some relationship involved as Ann & Neil stood as godparents to John & Ellen's
daughter Margaret in 1843 and John & Ellen named their first daughter Catherine. I am
trying to verify some relationship to Ann, or Phillip.....actually any relationship to any
Carroll family living in the Malone , Westville, Fort Covington area from 1830 -1900.
Thank you for any information
