Dear Barbara:
Found your message on CARROLL rootsweb about a CARROLL family in Iowa. I am
uncertain that the Carroll family you are looking for is the same as the one
I descended from, but I am posting the following descendant information. I
am descended from a James CARROLL who came to America from Ireland ca 1840's
[unproven exactly when] first settled in Janesville, WI and then moved to
Cresco, Howard Co, Iowa, ca 1860. I realize that Cresco is not Des Moines --
but it is Iowa, so I thought this worth a try for you to check over. James'
2nd wife was named Jane Dunnigan [although there is a discrepancy on that
name, she may have been Jane Donovan] and she was born in Ireland also. I do
not have the whole picture on 'my' CARROLLs in that I am uncertain, but
believe it possible that there were other related CARROLLS in the area. They
were a Catholic family. I know that there were nuns and priests, although I
don't necessarily know which ones. My grandmother is in this list. She is
also an Elizabeth CARROLL and was commonly called 'Lizzie'. [On the list
below, she is shown married to Albert Glass. Their son, Lloyd Glass was a
Marynoll missionary.] Please let me hear from you if you think there is any
possibility of a connection. Carol Vass
