Fonda,
None of your names match mine, but there are some Carroll's in my family from
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Just haven't found them all yet. It appears to
me, when looking at a U.S. map that they may have come from Europe, landing at New York,
New Jersey or Massachusetts and then migrated west through Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
and settling in Illinois. As I said yesterday, I believe we may be tracing parallel lines,
but until we make a name connection, we won't know. I will keep your info handy and
see if I can find a match. In the meantime, my info is as follows:
Jacob Rickard b. 8/1/1815 in PA married Ellen Jane Carroll b. 5/14/1819 in Pittsburg, PA.
They married on her 18th birthday, 5/14/1837 in Indiana. I have found them and their
children on various census' that show them having lived in all 4 states mentioned
above. Just need to connect the dots.
Tracy
