I have two Carroll family's. Both originated in Ireland. One was born in
NY(don't know where, or who his parents are) he was my grandfather Jeremiah Carroll b.
1854-1894. He married Elizabeth Meehan in Coubourg, Ontario, Canada and then moved to
Cook co. Chicago, ILL. they had 9 children: Mary, Thomas, John, Frances, Catherine,
Jeremiah, Edward Arthur, Steven, Elizabeth(my grandmother). The other family Lived in
Poughkeepsie, Dutchess, NY. James Carroll 1834-1899, he married Ann Elizabeth Belton.
They had a large family also. Sarah Jane, Thomas, Robert, Margaret, Ellen, James, William.
James sr. ran a meat market on Jefferson st in Poughkeepsie. William was the butcher.
Robert was a lawyer and Thomas was a Catholic priest, secretary to Cardinal Hayes of NY.
This family is related to the other some how, I don't know how, but my uncle said his
aunt said that we had relatives in NY and mention Thomas. I have their ancestry but have
hit a brick wall on Jeremiah. Do!
you recognize any of these names? If so would love to hear from you. James sr. was
born in Louth, Ireland.
