My earliest documented ancestor is Patrick Carroll ("Carrel"). His wife was Ann Curley. Patrick was born in Ireland (possibly in Offaly) and his family moved to Scotland, probably in the 1850s. The first record I have for Patrick is in the marriage record (from scotlandspeople.gov.uk) of Patrick's son, John, in 1861, in Rutherglen, Lanark, Scotland. It lists Patrick as deceased. John was married Nov 7, 1861 to Mary Jane Shields ("Shiels"). They had 13 children:
1. Patrick Henry Carroll ("Carral") b. 8-31-1862 Bathgate, Linlishgow, Scotland
2. John C. Carroll ("Carrel") b. 12-24-1863 Dalry, Ayr, Scotland
3. Thomas Carroll ("Carral") b. 11-16-1865 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland
4. Francis S. Carroll ("Carrol") b. 6-19-1867 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland
5. Ann Carroll b. 6-23-1869 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland
6. George Carroll b. 1-8-1871 d. 1-8-1871 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland
7. James Carroll ("Carrol") b. 1-12-1872 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland

If my research is correct, my earliest documented ancestor is George Carroll (1782, Virginia - 1855, Broomtown, Chattooga, GA). His children included my ancestor, Peter Tarpley Carroll (1816, Franklin County, GA - 1891, Chattooga, GA).
