I found an autobiography archived online written by my great grandfather's brother,
John W. Carroll.
http://docsouth.unc.edu/fpn/carroll/carroll.html
In the book, he says that his great grandfather came from Ireland many years before the
Revolutionary War and landed in Maryland, just as the Signer's family had. But this
author, John W. Carroll, makes no mention of any of his ancestors having been one of the
signers, and surely he would have, had that been the case. It doesn't seem (yet) that
this line of Carroll's is connected either to the ones you mention, nor, alas, to the
Signer, unless it's somehow all the way back to Ireland, or on the distaff side.
I'm still looking.
