Kevin...I believe I've come across your Phillip Carroll of Virginia while researching
my ancestor of the same name/place. Unfortunately, there is no relationship. Through my
research of the records of the Catholic Church of St. Matthew, Maghera, Lisduff, Co.
Cavan, I've found the family of Phillip and his wife, Anne Gibney. I've located
the baptismal records of their children; Patrick, Catherine, and Eleanor (sorry, but no
Martin). I've also seen Phillip's death record in the same data. It shows a date
of death or burial on July 3, 1840. I sure wish they'd been related to my
Carrolls...I've never been able to locate anyone who is! I have identified one
possibility though, an Irish couple whose O'Carroll ancestors lived in Edenburt. We
are now arranging a DNA test through another company. It appears that my Phillip Carroll
is the only one from his family to have emmigrated to the U.S.
