THOMAS CARROLL was born in County Latram,
Ireland, in 1832. He left Ireland in his younger
days in company with his uncle John Fay and wife. After
a voyage of fifty-two days on the water, they arrived at
Quebec, Canada, where he remained with his uncle until
1842, when he went to Bakersfield, Vermont, where he
learned the blacksmith trade. He then went to
Massachusetts, where he worked seven years in the
carriage shops of Charles Rice.
He was married March 13, 1853, to Miss Elizabeth
Raper; and in June of that year they went to
Monmouth, Illinois. Mr Carroll then ran a
peddling-wagon over the prairies for one year. He then
went to Ellisville, Illinois, on the Spoon river, where
he and his wife first engaged in housekeeping.
Caroline W., their first child, was born and died
here.
Their next move was to Greenbush, Illinois,— the date
they do not remember. Mr. Carroll then went to
work for Cornelius Hanks and Alexander McGrew.
Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Carroll,
four of whom are now living; three of them are married.
