A DISTINGUISHED FAMILY. 215
of the great O'Connor Dunn (or Don), her mother being Jane Bermingham,
daughter of Edward Fitz Richard, the seventeenth Lord Athenry. He had
three children, Dr. Charles Carroll, the father of Charles Carroll, barrister
of Maryland; John Carroll, who died at sea; and Dorothy Carroll, a
daughter. John Carroll, the second son of Daniel Carroll, " was the father
of Sir Daniel O'Carroll, who, at the instance of the Duke of Ormond, was
made colonel of a regiment of horse, being also by Queen Anne created a
baronet, was knight of the order of Arragon in Spain, and died lieutenant-
general of his majesty's forces in 1750."
Dr. Charles Carroll, the eldest son of Charles Carroll and Clare Dunn,
came to America about the year 1715 and resided in Annapolis. He was
educated in England as a Roman Catholic, but soon after his settlement in
the province renounced his faith and became a Protestant. For many
years he practiced medicine, but gave it up and actively entered into mercantile business, at which he amassed a considerable fortune. He accumulated a
large landed estate, especially in and near the City of Baltimore, including
"Carroll's Island," "Mount Clare," "The Plains" near Annapolis, "Clare
Mont," now the residence of Hon. Carroll Spence, late Minister to Turkey, and
" The Caves," the present residence of General John Carroll, in Baltimore
County. Dr. Charles Carroll represented Anne Arundel County in the
Lower House of Assembly in 1737, and continued to do so until the day of
his death. He married Dorothy Blake, daughter of Henry Blake, of an
ancient family in Hampshire, England, and had three children—Charles
Carroll, barrister, Mary Clare Carroll and John Henry Carroll. Mary Clare
Carroll married on the 21st of July, 1747, Nicholas Maccubbin, and had
several children; John Henry Carroll died sine prole. Dr. Charles Carroll,
after a lingering illness, died on Monday, September 29th, 1755, at his residence in Annapolis, aged 64 years. His only son, Charles Carroll, barrister,
was elected to fill his seat in the Lower House of Assembly. He was born on
the 22d of March, 1723, and at an early age was placed at college under the
immediate tuition of the Rev. Edward Jones, at the English House, in Bairro
Alto, West Lisbon, Portugal. When about sixteen years of age he was removed
to the celebrated school of Eton, in England. Desiring to devote his talents
to the legal profession, in 1740 he entered the University of Cambridge, and
studied with Daniel Dulany, who was then a student in the same college.
With a mind thoroughly educated and trained, he commenced the study of
law in the Middle Temple, Garden Court, Library Staircase, No. 2. He
returned to Maryland in 1746, and commenced the practice of his profession.
Being thoroughly conversant with affairs at home and abroad, he was early
called into public life, and became one of the trusted leaders of the Revolution. He held many public positions of great importance, of which we will
speak more fully hereafter. He married on the 3d of June, 1763, Margaret
Tilghman, daughter of Hon. Matthew Tilghman, and had two children—
twins, who died in infancy. He died at his residence, Mount Clare, near
