General Notes: Husband - Stephen Carroll

---

Crawford Co, PA
He came to Oil Creek Township, Crawford County, PA, in 1847, and erected a saw-mill. In 1850 he located in Rome Township and devoted himself to farming. He and his wife had three children, two deceased in childhood. During the Civil War Mr. Carroll enlisted, September 8, 1862, in Company D, Eighteenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, serving in the Army of the Potomac and participated in the engagements at Hanover Court House, Get­tysburg, South Mountain and many other of the memorable battles fought in Vir­ginia and Maryland. He received an honorable discharge June 6, 1865. He acted as Company Clerk at Cumberland, MD, at the mus­tering out and is reliable authority for the statement that nearly every survivor of the company was present at the last muster. After his return he took an active part in political affairs; was elected School Director, Supervisor, Jus­tice of the Peace; appointed May 5, 1879, by Gov. Hoyt, Sealer of Weights and Measures for Crawford County; re-appointed June 12, 1882. He had a farm of 100 acres well-improved land, and devoted his attention to the breeding of live stock, having some very fine pure-blooded cattle of the short-horn variety, and was one of the first to introduce this improved grade of cattle in his township.
