  Notes for ANNIE LAURIE CARROLL:
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ANNIE'S ANCESTORS
From excerpts of a report written in 1993 by Annie's son-in-law, John N. Millner.
The lives of Annie's forbears were connected with the early pioneers, the Indians and the Hudson's Bay Company, all of whom contributed to the growth of the Northwest.
Annie's grandmother, Elizabeth Jones (Broshears), and her great grandparents, Gabriel Jones and Keziah (Bishop) Jones, traveled west with the Michael T. Simmons wagon train in 1844. Gabriel Jones joined with others in 1847 to build the sawmill at Newmarket (Tumwater) named The Puget Sound Company.
Annie's great grandparents on her father's side were Jean Baptiste Chalifoux and Iuse Musch(Harriet) Skaowit. Jean Baptiste, a French Canadian, was a Hudson's Bay Company employee and later a settler. Iuse Musch Skaowit was a full-blood Cowlitz Indian, born at Cowlitz Settlement near Toledo, Washington.
Annie's grandfather, Joseph Smith Broshears, was a settler who had also traveled west along the Oregon Trail, established land claims near Steilacoom and later in Lewis County. He participated in a number of key meetings held to give orderly direction to the formation of Washington Territory.
Annie's father, William Burton Caroll, developed a 144 acre homestead about halfway between Yelm and Eatonville on Horn Creek.
Annie's paternal grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Carroll, was a soldier stationed at Fort Steilacoom. For reasons unknown, Thomas left Elizabeth Chalifoux in 1867 and went to live in the Portland-Vancouver area. Elizabeth then married Henry Smith.
By good fortune, about nine years of daily activities if Jean Baptiste Chalifoux is documented in the "Journal of Occurrences Ft. Nisqually" by the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, a branch of the Hudson's Bay Company. This activity included carpentry, blacksmith, and general handyman.
A note left by Josephine Chalifoux Corcoran's daughter, Elizabeth Ellen Corcoran, confirms a first-cousin relationship between Elizabeth and Josephine Chalifoux and Catherine McLeod Mounts. This leads to the conclusion that all three were granddaughters of Cowlitz Chief, Schanewa (also known as Skaowit). the importance of Chief Schanewa to the Cowlitz people is indicated by the fact that they petitioned the State Bureau of Geographical Place Names to call the reservoir behind the newest Tacoma City Light dam on the Cowlitz River, "Schanewa Lake". (Their petition was granted.)
