General Notes: Husband - William Carroll

---

He was a native of Ireland, and after immigrating to America first settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was among the early settlers of Mercer County, and located on a tract of land in what became Worth Township. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and he and his wife are buried in the family burying ground on the homestead.

Wm. Carroll (then spelled Carrel) came to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, about the same time the Westlakes [1797], and settled on a farm a mile east of the present village of Millbrook. He claimed to have been a relative of "Charles Carroll, of Carrollton," one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. William Carroll was directly from Ireland, and it is probable that, on seeing the name of the other Carroll on the Declaration, he concluded he must be a relative, and may possibly have looked the matter up and found it to be the case. At any rate, he always asserted it to be a fact.
