Notes

1900 census shows Mary's birth as 1862. In the 1870 census she is eleven and in the 1860 census, she is three. Since she is in the 1860 census, she would have had to be born before 1860.

Family sources say Mary and Charles were never married. They say Mary had an illegitimate child (Frank) with Charles and gave him the Carroll name. Charles was from a very prominate New Orleans family. This family did not approve of Mary or her child.

Charles and Mary lived together as husband and wife for at least ten years, proven by the 1900 and 1910 censuses. In fact, in the 1910 census, they state they have been married thirty-four years.

Mary's interment was private. I think she may have been quietly buried in the Carroll family tomb, but I'm still working on this theory.

Frank's middle name at birth may have been Michael, so he would have been born Frank Michael McDonald. Mary's brother's name was Michael and a 1957 article about Frank calls him Frank Michael Carroll, but this article does have factual errors. By the time Frank was married in 1896, his middle name was McDonald and he was using the last name of Carroll - Frank McDonald Carroll.

Pictures/Memorabilia

None at this time.
