Carroll, Charles

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.15 sec.

Carroll, Charles (1737–1832)

American public official who, as a member of the Continental Congress, was one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence 1776. He was one of Maryland's first US senators 1789–92.

Carroll was born in Annapolis, Maryland, and educated in France and England, returning 1765 to administer Carrollton, the family estate in Maryland. Because of his Catholic faith, he was not allowed to enter political life but was a strong supporter of the cause of American independence. In 1776 he accompanied Benjamin Franklin on a diplomatic mission to Canada before signing the Declaration of Independence in the same year.
