Seeking information on Carroll family as far back as John Carroll married to Betty Gibson.
One of John and Betty's children was Patrick Carroll married to Nora Stanton.
Patrick and Nora had six children: James, John, William, Patrick, Charles, Mary, and
Martin. At least 2 of these: Charles and Martin, came to America. The two brothers were
married to two sisters: Mary and Elizabeth Creary. Charles was born about 1826 and. I
believe,came to America sometime in the 1840's.
At one point in time, they all lived in the hard coal region of Pennsylvania, however,
Martin eventually moved to the mid-west in the Illinois area.
I am the great great granddaughter of Charles and Mary (Creary) Carroll. My grandmother
was the daughter of Thomas Carroll, Charles Carroll's oldest son, and Elizabeth
Devlin. Both Thomas and Elizabeth were born in Pennsylvania.
Elizabeth, called Lizzie, was the daughter of Patrick and Mary Devlin, both born in
Ireland.
In June, I will be traveling to Ireland and plan to try to find some record of my family.
If anyone has any additional knowlege of this branch of the Carroll family, please contact
me. This has been a long long search.
Thank you!
Loretta Murphy-Birster
