The Carroll Family of Washington County, Penna.
The history of the Carroll family was published in the January 1977 KEYHOLE. A search of 
court and census records gives additional information. The earliest record is 1774, when Edward 
Carroll improved his land according to his Virginia certificate. A warrant was granted in 1785. He 
is listed in Ohio Co, Va (now Washington Co, Pa) in 1779. His will written 1809 was probated in 
1824. In the 1790 census he has 1 2 4; in 1800 01001 00110.
	Edward Carroll had brothers:	 (all of Finley Twp)
Robert improved his land in 1776, warranted 1785; taxed Ohio Co 1778; 1790 census 1 7 1;

	The COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF WASHINGTON COUNTY
