According to the Baltimore Sun, March 2006, he is Philip Acosta Carroll.
Now the first Philip Acosta Carroll was the son of Gov. John Lee Carroll and his 2nd wife
Mary Thompson, born 1879. (Gov. Carroll's sister Mary had married a Dr. Eleazer
Acosta of VA, and they lived in Paris. Gov. John Lee Carroll was a great grandson of
Charles Carroll of Carrollton.)
It is not possible that Philip Acosta Carroll, born 1879, is the present occupant owner.
He may be a son or grandson of the same name.
Doughoregan Manor was built around 1727 by Charles Carroll of Carrollton's father, and
its provenance goes very much like this:
Charles Carroll (II) built it.
Charles Carroll (III) of Carrollton inherited it
Charles Carroll (IV) of Homewood born in it
Charles Carroll (V) Colonel of Doughoregan
John Lee Carroll, Gov., bought it from his brother Charles
Charles Carroll son
Charles Carroll grandson?
Philip Acosta Carroll (I) bought it from Charles, a half brother or uncle (Carroll)
Philip Acosta Carroll (II) son?
Philip Acosta (III) grandson? and present occupant.
So it is very likely that the present occupant Philip Acosta Carroll is a direct
descendant of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. A sample of his Y-DNA should be identical to
C. C. of C.s.
