Edward Carroll 1752-1831

Edward was born in the family Irish homestead at Trummera the son of Edward 
Carroll and Sarah Bell. He was married to Elizabeth Murray who gave birth to 
all but one of their children in Ireland. His grandson (Robert) records that 
"he was embarrassed financially by the condition of the country following the 
rebellion of 1798" and sold the leasehold of the 100 acre property (which had 
been in the family since 1729) to Isaac Bell in September 1800 prior to 
emigrating to the USA.

The family crossed the Atlantic with the Murrays to whom they were related by 
marriage. The Carrolls landed in Philadelphia on 21 May 1801. Following the 
death of one child they bought some land in Columbiana County on the Ohio river 
in the North Western Territory, now Ohio. It was a wilderness of almost unbroken
forest.

Towards the end of his life he moved to a Quaker settlement called New Garden 
near New Lisbon where he is buried with his wife.
