Arthur Carroll was born in Alexandria County, VA on Sept. 15, 1843. As a
small boy he moved with his parents from VA to Shelby County, Illinois in 1850.
In 1865 he married Catherine Swallow of Kentucky. They had 3 daughters and 2
sons. The sons were William and George F. Carroll and they both lived in
Shelbyville, Ill. Arthur died in 1909 in either March or April of that year and
is buried in Glenwood Cem.
George Frederick Carroll was born on March 27, 1879. He married Rae G.
Sturges and they lived in Decatur, Illinois. They had 2 sons and one daughter.
The sons were George Jr and Arthur.
George died at Decatur Hosp in Nov 1925. His son Arthur is my father who has
also past away.
If anyone has any information about the Arthur who was born in 1843 in
Alexandria County, VA I would really appreciate it. I would like to know the names
of his parents and if possible when the family came to America. Was it from
Ireland or England? I am desperate to find out this information.
Thank you,
Briget Carroll
