Hi. Daniel Carroll, son of Michael and Joanna Browne, had a son Daniel b. 1699; who
married Elizabeth Purdy; and a daughter Hannah, b. early in the 1970s who married John
Sewell in 1721 son of Henry Sewell and M. Mariott. Daniel's brother Domenick married
Mary Sewell and their children were all girls. Daniel and Elizabeth's son was Daniel
of Carrollton and Pa. (he inherited land from his uncle James (d. 1729) brother of
Daniel's dad, Michael. It was in Md., but due to a boundary change became Pa. Dempse
Jr., also inherited part of the Pa. land, being the remaining heir of Dempse Sr. and the
only remaining inheritors from James....all others were dead at that time...Although all
points to this, I cannot substantiate it either in Md., or Pa. other than the will was
not settled for years, due to mishandling by the trustees....particularly Charles of
Annapolis. (This is from a book by Father Ambrose Carroll Moorman, who has the early
Carroll Bible. It is called "!
Daniel Carroll and some of his descendants" or a similar title...paper back...in
Library of Congress, I am told. Thomas Carroll, 1753-1823, son of Daniel; had a son named
William who was gov. of Tenn for two separate terms and was a hero in the War where he
was wounded. susan
