Here is the article regarding Thomas Carroll that I mentioned in my 
previous email ...

PROMINENT FIGURE THROUGH DISTRICT THOS. CARROLL DIES

Carp, Ont. Aug. 21 - Thomas Carroll, life-long resident of South March and 
known throughout the district as a former buyer and drover of cattle for half a 
century, passed away at the homestead today.  Mr. Carroll was 89 years of age and 
was ill about two months.

Mr. Carroll was born on the farm which had been the home of the Carroll family 
for over 100 years, and was the son of the late Patrick Carroll and his wife, 
Mary Brennan.  At the age of eight years he was able to plow and at 19 left home 
and struck our for himself.  Picking out a patch of pine bush near Kinburn he 
bought it and hiring men to cut, he went into the lumbering business.

He sold the wood to J. R. Booth, and inspired by this success, he bought other 
patches in succession around Galetta, Fitzroy and Constance Creek. 

IN CATTLE BUSINESS

After several years of cutting, Mr. Carroll banked his money and went back to 
farming at which he stayed until the year 1886.  Then at the age of 36 he took to 
cattle buying.  With the money he had made from lumbering, he started out to purchase 
and sell cattle.  This was a success from the start and in one summer he handled 
over 75,000 head of stock.

Mr. Carroll drove cattle as far as 90 miles to Ottawa, a trip taking almost four 
days.  He carried as much as $3,000 in cash on his person, but was never attacked.  
In 1928 he retired from active business and his two sons carried on his work.

His wife, the former Sarah Kennedy, predeceased him about seven years ago.  The couple, 
married in Ottawa on June 15, 1880, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1930.

Surviving are two sons, Thomas and Ambrose, both of Dunrobin; three daughters, Mrs. 
Edward Brennan at home, Mrs. William Kennedy of Ottawa and Mrs. Austin Muldoon of 
Kemptville; and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Hogan of Arnprior, and Miss Myra Carroll 
in Western Canada.  Also surviving are 25 grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

The funeral will be held from his late residence on Tuesday morning at 8.30 to St. 
Isadore's church, South March for solemn requiem high mass at 10 o'clock.  Interment 
will be in the parish cemetery.

Hello Lorraine

Thank you kindly.That was very nice of you to drop a note about Elizabeth
Carroll. I know Elizabeth was widow to John Cunningham before she married
William Kennedy in 1876. I have her birth only estimated at 1848 and dying
in 1887. She had 3 children with John Cunningham, 3 maybe four with William
Kennedy and 1 with Michael Britt (Brite). Possibly your Thomas had a sister
Elizabeth and a brother David. David is mentioned in her Last Will and
Testament as her brother, but Thomas is mentioned as executor. The
relationship was not identified. As you can see, Elizabeth had to be born
around the 1848 time frame to have those children. On the marriage
certificate, she was listed as 35 years old and one of the witnesses was
Mary Ann Carroll.

Take care

Taylor Kennedy

Hello,

 

I came across this page: http://www.bytown.net/tcarroll.htm and my late father, who 
was an avid amateur genealogist, has information about this man Thomas Carroll for whoever 
was interested.

Thanks,
Adam Carroll.

William CARROLL and Dora DEARING
Saw the postings at Al's site and thought I would find out if anyone can
establish a link with
my Carroll ancestors and other Carroll families from South March.
The following information is based upon  Quebec Census records and family
records...

Willam Carroll b:abt 1806  m: Dora Dearing b:abt 1806 arrived in Canada
about 1839 with sons Thomas b:abt 1835 and Joseph b:1838 (all born in
Ireland).

Their son John was born abt. 1840 in South March, Ontario, according to his
obituary.
The family lived in Ontario (presumably in the South March area) where they
had at
least two more children - William b:abt 1843 and Elizabeth b:abt 1847.
In 1847/48 the family moved to the Gatineau area (Low/Wakefield).

Verbal family history says that William was one of three brothers, two of
whom moved to the same area in Quebec and the other who stayed "across the
river" in Ontario.

It is suspected, but not proven, that one brother was Mical (Michael) who
lived on an adjacent farm. Another possible brother  is Kieran/Keoren who
lived on a farm directly opposite them on the other side of the Gatineau
River.

Of course given the reliablity of verbal history, it is possible that all
three are brothers who
left Ontario about the same time. When told that one brother was "across the
river",
a descendant could easily have assumed they meant the Ottawa river instead
of the Gatineau.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
