Still at a dead end on my Carroll line. Anyone have anything about John Carroll of
Tipperary County or his wife Ellen Hennessy?
Here's what I do know: John Carroll b. 1832 or '37 in Tipperary, parents are
probably named John Carroll and Agnes Ryan. Married wife Ellen Hennessy, b. 1839, in
Ireland. Together they emmigrated to the US, leaving from Limerick to Springfield, MA in
1846 or '48. First lived in Cohoes Falls, NY, where they had 2 children--Maria Teresa
and John Martin--then settled in Lancaster, WI. Had 5 more children--Agnes Florence,
Teresa, Josephine, Henry Francis (my gr-grandfather), and Thomas. Both John and Ellen died
in 1909 and are buried in Lancaster, WI.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
