Patrick Carroll & Anna Lynch Family
This page is devoted to all of the documents and records collected for the Patrick Carroll family. They both originated in Ireland but the home town and county of Anna is unknown. Patrick was born in County Cavan. Recently I made a serendipitous connection with a descendant of a brother of Patrick. Through her I was able to discover Patrick's parents and siblings. He and Ann Lynch were married in Taylor Township, Dubuque County, Iowa in October 1863. They appeared in Atchison, Kansas in the mid 1860s as a young married couple. They began having children and settled into life in Atchison. Patrick was employed as a shoe & boot maker in town. He did well enough that they were able to buy their own place in West Atchison consisting of several lots along Eleventh Street. Their fourth child, Peter, was born about 1876 or 1877 and within a year Annie and the children are in Denver but without Patrick. So far no information has been found as to Patrick and what may have happened.
