          Carroll was born in 1857 at Wairoa, Hawkes Bay. His mother was Tapuke of Ngati Kahungnunu, and his father was Joseph Carroll, a Sydney-born Irishman.

          Carroll distinguished himself at a young age, firstly in the military campaign against Te Kooti aged 12 or 13, and then as a cadet with the Native Department for East Coast.

          This earned him a transfer to Wellington. He worked in various jobs between Wellington and Gisborne, where he settled with his wife Heni Materoa (Te Huinga).
