Carroll, John, D.D., of the Methodist Church of Canada, was born on an island in the Bay of Fundy, within the Province of New Brunswick, August 8, 18O9. With his parents he came to Canada in infancy. His father was in the British Army in the War of 1812-1815. His boyhood was a hard one. The end of the war in 1815 found the family in York, now Toronto. He was awakened in the spring of 1824 by a religious tract, taken on trial by Rev. John Ryerson, found peace that summer, under the preaching of the devoted Rowley Heyland. At the age of eighteen he was appointed a class-leader, and at nineteen was called out on a Circuit under the Presiding Elder. At the Canada Conference of 1829 he was received on trial, and in 1833 was ordained to the full work of the ministry. For thirteen years he filled several of the best Circuits and Stations; he was then appointed as a District Chairman, which office he ably filled for twenty-five years. In 1863 he was elected to Co-Delegate of the Conference. For one year he was Sunday-school Agent and Editor of Sunday-school periodicals. His literary labors have given to the church eleven volumes and tracts.
