I am descended from John Carroll, b. March 1753, New Jersey, died 15 Feb. 1855 Beachville,
Oxford Co., Ontario. I believe John was living in Mohawk Township, Montgomery Co., NY,
during the American Revolution, where he married Maria Van Alstine 26 Dec. 1776
Caughnawaga Dutch Reformed Church, Fonda, Mohawk Twp, and served with American General
Schuyler. John and a William Carroll (probably a brother) were enumerated in 1790 Mohawk
Township. John relocated to Beachville, Oxford Co., Ontario, about 1800, where he was a
prosperous farmer along the Thames River. He was the father of 9 sons and 2 daughters.
Two sons, John and Henry, died fighting with the Canadians during the War of 1812. I am
descended from son Abraham, who was living in Mosa Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, in
1831; Abraham's son John married Lydia Kelley there in 1832. Am eager to correspond
with anyone who has knowledge of this Carroll family.
