Kenneth,
Thank you for that clarification of the relationship between of Charles
Carroll of Carrollton (signer of the Declaration of Independence) and Daniel
Carroll (signer of the U. S. Constitution). This is fascinating, and much
more complicated than I had thought possible.
It seems these two Carroll men were Double 2nd Cousins. Their ancestors in
common were
1. Daniel O'Carroll of Litterluna and his wife, and also
2. Henry Darnall and his wife Eleanor M. Hatton.
Charles Carroll the Immigrant was a Grand-Uncle to Daniel Carroll the
Settler.
Charles Carroll of Carrollton's paternal grandmother was Mary Darnall;
Daniel Carroll of the U. S. Constitutions' maternal grandfather was Henry
Darnall.
Mary and Henry Darnall were sister and brother, children of Henry Darnall
(Sr.) and Eleanor M. Hatton.
At least according to my calculations. Can anyone confirm all this?
Eric

Subject: [CARROLL] General discussion on Carroll family History
Just posting this information that I have come across during my
research
efforts in trying to get a better handle on my Carroll line. It may be
useful to some of you as this Carroll research is very difficult to say the
least Its also speaks to the recent posting of Eric Olson.
Before getting into that, however, I would like to recommend several
Publications
that relate to the Carroll line and could prove useful to the
various listers. They are :
The Life of Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, 1737-1832 by Kate Mason Rowland
Princes of Ireland---Planters of Maryland
A Carroll Saga, 1500-1782 by Ronald Hoffman in Collaboration with Sally D.
Mason
University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill and London.
A History of the William Carroll Family of Allegany County, N.Y.
Author Kenyon Stevenson. Publisher: The York Printing Co., York, Penna.
1929
All of these contain useful information as to the Carroll Line and will
help one to
understand the various relationships to some degree In one of
those Publications, there exists A Genealogical Synopis of the O'Carroll
Pedigee, showing the relative Positions of the Branches, that could be
useful to the listers. This Synopis was commissioned by Fredderick John O'
Carroll, a noted Historian to the Journal of the Royal Historical and
Archaological Association of Ireland in 1883. If one can believe it, it
Indicates the following :
Daniel,Carroll of Litterluna had two sons, The younger son, Charles
Carroll ( known as the Immigrant ) Settled in Maryland in 1688.. His son,
Charles became known as Charles of Annapolis, and had a son, Charles, Known
as Charles Carroll Of Carrollton.
The Signer, who was the last surviror of those who were the original
Signers of our Declaration of Independence.
The eldest son of Daniel of Litterluna was Anthony of Lisheenboy. He had
4 Sons.
Daniel, Micheal, James and Charles. Some of which settled also in
America.
Offspring of these sons, Like Daniel, Who signed the Constitution of the
United States, John , that became the first R.C. Bishop of Baltimore, and
others that play important roles in our Colonial History, would have been
cousins of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Good luck in your research....Ken
