I am looking for James Francis Carroll the immigrant from Wexford Co, Ireland before the
birth of his son James A. in Pennsylvania in 1828.
This is a brief summary of what is known of the immigrant:
--------
FRANCIS EDWARD CARROLL
Francis E. Carroll was born in Philadelphia, Nov. 16,
1830, son of James Francis and Mary Louise Dana Carroll. His
father was from County wexford, Ireland, his mother of French
descent. Her grandfather Cotineau during the Reign of Terror
was called out from his home and taken away by a detatchment
of soldiers, and probably bowed to the guillotine.
Francis E. Carroll came to Syracuse in 1849. In 1871
and 1872 he was elected mayor of the city on the Democratic
ticket.
He married Caroline Goldsmith and their children are:
Frank D., in Oklahoma; Dana H., Paris correspondent of the
New York Sun; Goldsmith, and Charles L.
James A. Carroll is the brother of Francis E. and a
resident of Syracuse.
