I haven't updated that I found my Carroll line in a long time. But since it is almost
complete except for where in Ireland they came from and when I thought I would post the
full line in hopes of connecting.
Thomas H Carroll b. abt 1820-22 Ireland married to Anna Murphy b. about 1830 Ireland.
They show up in 16th District of NYC, NY in the 1850 Census. In 1860 they show up in
Attala, MS. However his wife's name looks to be Norah. Still trying to determine if
this is the same wife or not because one of the daughters names who looks also to be Norah
in this census is later determined to be Sarah. Both are Catholic. In 1870 they show up
in Posey, IN where Thomas H Carroll dies by 1880. He also marries Jane Dugan in 1866 in
