Hi, this is Karen.
I would like to thank Janice Stelma and Stanley Beaton for
responding to my inquiry about the surnames of Courtney and Carroll. My
computer was down or the thank you would have been sooner.
My grandmother's grandmother was from Nova Scotia, Ann was her
name. I know this is not very much to go on, but it's all I have. Ann
lived in Nova Scotia, her family owned a farm that produced
cranberries. We know that, she had been married before she came to the
U.S. The names used to tell us of her plight are the Courtney's and the
Carrolls. I think that Ann was a Courtney and married a Carroll. I
don't know what happened to her or her husband, he may have been killed
or left her. The only place I have found out anything is one census
report of 1870. Ann is listed as being 40 and born in Nova Scotia. Her
oldest child was also born in Nova Scotia, her name was Kate and she was
16 in 1870. The next child is Michael and he was born in Canada and was
14 in 1870. There were 2 more daughters and a son that were born in
Indiana. The story say's that Ann came by ship to New York with two
children and money.
I have a few names, a story, dates, and a cranberry farm. Three
people born in 1830,1854, and 1856. That's about all I have to go on.
I keep my fingers crossed that someone may know something
about this family.
Thank You for your help, Karen
