I represent Edward Carroll. I was a lieutenant in His Majesty’s 16th Regiment of Foot, having arrived with the regiment in the spring of 1770. In Robert Farmar‘s journal of the siege of Pensacola is the following entry for May 7, 1781: “About 2 o’clock p.m. a shell from the enemy’s flank battery came in at a window of one of the barrack rooms of the adv. [Advanced] Redoubt which killed Lt. Carroll & wounded Capt. Forster of the 16th Regt.” The British probate record of June 1787 identified me as “Edward Carroll, Lt. of 16th Regiment who died at Pensacola,” and also pointed out that I was a bachelor. My brother, James Carroll, became the administrator of my estate.
