Carroll Genealogy

My Carroll family lineage (16k), starting with Hercules Carroll (1828-1906).
The Carroll's are of Irish descent, but we have not made the connection of our lineage back to Ireland. We do not know who were the parents of my great-grandfather, Hercules Carroll, or if he had any brothers or sisters. We are stumped! He was born 28-Nov-1828, in Painesville Ohio. He was in the Union army during the Civil War. He enlisted in Columbus Ohio in Company B, 6th Regiment, US Cavalry on 5-Aug-1861 and served until 1-Apr-1864 (according to his pension records). But he is not listed in the official roster of Ohio soldiers of the Civil War in the 6th Regiment, Co. B. He received a pension starting in 1891 and died 7-May-1906 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We have plenty of information about him from 1861 on, but nothing before that. He's not even in the censuses before 1870, that we can find.
Other surnames prominent in my maternal line: Lynch, Wisner, Ports.
