Message Board Post:
I am interested in your Carrolls of Hardin Co., KY.
My g-grandfather was William CARROLL, b. 1837-1846, probably Tipperary Co., Ireland; d.
1889, Cannelton, Perry Co., IN. He married Anna MINTON (Menton, Minter, Minto) around
1870, possibly in Hardin Co., KY although I can find no record of it. Anna, b. 1853,
supposedly Hardin Co., KY -again no proof.
The St. Claire Church records have a christening record for James Dionisius Carroll, b,
Oct. 1874, chr. Dec, 1874; s/o William Carroll & Anna Jane Menton; Spon, Mrs. Mary E.
Ryan
Two other children were born in KY before the family moved to Cannelton: Mary Margaret
"Maggie", b. 1876 and Joseph W., b. 1878.
I have not been able to find this family group in an 1870 or 1880 Census. The first
Census that I found them is 1900 Perry Co., IN. Since William d. 1889, Anna is listed as
Head, Wd, 6 children, 4 living. The four living children were listed in the household:
Maggie, dau, b. 1876, KY; Joseph W., son, b. 1878, KY; Anna, dau, b. 1886, IN; Patrick, b.
1890, IN [born posthumously]. Father's birthplace for all children is 'Irl'.
James Dionisius apparently died before 1900 as did another child that I have no
information about.
William Carroll's birth year range comes from: (1) Tombstone - 1843; (2) Obituary
gives age of 52 (1837) and two death records (city & county) give his age as 43
(1846). It is believed that he came from Co. Tipperary due to the fact that Co. Tipperary
is written on the back of a portrait of him although it is unknown who wrote that.
I have no parent or sibling information for Anna Minton although I would like to know more
about her too.
I would be interested in the names & dates for any of your Carrolls living in or
around Hardin Co., KY ca. 1870-1880.
I do not have anyone in my files that match your information about "M. H.
Carroll"; I did find a M. Henry Carroll, age 19, b. KY in the 1860 Christian Co., KY
Census but it would only be speculation as to whether he is yours or not.
