Fred C Heaton - Papa's Mother -- Lucy Elizabeth Carroll Heaton 1862 - 1937

Lucy Elizabeth was the first of ten born in Heber City - her father helped found.  The second of ten daughters and the third of 14 children that Charles Negus Carroll and Kezia Giles Carroll had.  Kezia Ann and Charles William Jr., named for their parents, were born before in Provo.  Irene died in forty-nine days, but twins arrived ten months later to fill the void -- Edward and Eleanor.  Charles heard Brigham Young extol the Enoch-like Orderville United Order and was seized with a  desire to join them.  After nineteen years in Heber, he moved his family, including his oldest son's family, Willard - the only survivor of Charles and his first wife Lucy Elizabeth McInelly Carroll in New Brunswick, Canada.  She and three children died of cholera crossing the plains.  Grandma was named for her and Charles' sister, Elizabeth, who remained in Canada with Charles' parents Patrick and Nancy Ann Negus O'Carroll on Carroll's Ridge as did two other sisters.  

Charles and his second wife, Katharine Goddard (1855) had no children.  Within ten months, she was divorced and with her grown daughter left with the camp followers when Johnston's Army departed.  

After the Charles Carroll family moved to Southern Utah they had two more daughter, Amelia and Amy.  Charles was 75 when his last child came.  Kezia was 42.  Amy nearly died as a youth with what they later thought was rheumatic fever, but it may have been polio as one leg was crippled when she recovered.  She lived to be 91, but didn't marry until 33 due to this problem.  Our grandmother, Lucy Elizabeth, however, married at 16 and had 11 children.  She died the youngest of her mother's family at 75 with heart problems.  her oldest brother died when over one hundred in California. 

Genealogical research indicates the Carrolls of New Brunswick, Canada were descendants of the O'Carrolls of Mead County.  They were a branch of the old line of O'Carroll nobility in Kings and Queens County, Ireland.
