The information I have came from a document titled “McGoldrick Family
History”, compiled by Catherine Ann McGoldrick Smith and dated July 1,
1990.(My paternal grandmother was a McGoldrick).I’ll only include the
portions pertinent to the Carroll family.

Mary visited most of them before her death.
Archbishop Carroll of Helena, Montana was Mary’s nephew on her father’s
side (they lived in Dubuque, Iowa).She was also related to Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland, signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Bishop John Patrick Carroll born in Dubuque, Iowa in 1865, whose father
was Martin Carroll may have been Mary’s first cousin.She also had a
cousin who was Sister Superior at St. Joseph Hospital in St. Paul,
Minnesota.

Most of the rest of the information has to do with the McGoldrick family.
In 1860 Patrick McGoldrick registered the family as free inhabitants of
Dubuque and he lists Mary’s age as 40. [b. 1820?].He lists his occupation
as saloon keeper, but the text says they also had a hotel called
Carrollton.

There is a two sheet discussion about the O’Carroll, MacCarroll and
MacCarvill names which was taken from a book (I guess) called “Irish
Families - Dublin, Ireland”

Then there is also some information on Charles Carroll and his home in
Maryland.

Obviously my information is very sketchy and totally undocumented, so if
you at some time can provide any information to fill out the Carroll family
I’d appreciate it.
