Charles Carroll of Carrollton
Charles Carroll (September 19, 1737 – November 14, 1832), known as Charles Carroll of Carrollton or Charles Carroll III to distinguish him from his similarly named relatives,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Signers of the Declaration: Biographical Sketches: Charles Carroll )〕 was a wealthy Maryland planter and an early advocate of independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. He served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and Confederation Congress and later as first United States Senator for Maryland. He was the only Catholic〔(''"Charles Carroll, of Carrollton,"'' ) The American Catholic Quarterly Review, Vol. XXIV, 1899.〕 and the longest-lived (and last surviving) signatory of the Declaration of Independence, dying at the age of 95, at his city mansion (largest and most expensive in town) in Baltimore's neighborhood of Jonestown on East Lombard and South Front Streets, by the Jones Falls.
==Ancestry==
The Carroll family were descendants of the Ó Cearbhaill lords of Éile〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ireland's History in Maps - Tuadmumu, Kingdom of Thomond )〕 (Lords of Ely) in King's County (now County Offaly), Ireland. Carroll's grandfather was the Irish-born Charles Carroll the Settler (1660–1720) from Litterluna; he was a descendant of Daniel O'Carroll of Aghagurty Clareen, three miles south of Kinnitty, and a clerk in the office of Lord Powis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles Carroll, Signer of Declaration of Independence )〕 Carroll left his native Ireland (King's County) around the year 1659,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, page 1 - Colonial Hall )〕 and emigrated to St. Mary's City, capital of the colony of Maryland, in 1689,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=www.charlescarrollhouse.com )〕 with a commission as Attorney General from the colony's Catholic proprietor, Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore.
Charles Carroll the Settler was the son of Daniel O'Carroll of Litterluna. The "O'" in Irish surnames was often dropped due to the Anglicisation policy of the occupying English, particularly during the period of the "Penal Laws". Charles Carroll the Settler had a son, born in 1702 and also named Charles. To distinguish himself from his father he was known as Charles Carroll of Annapolis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Independence Hall (1859) )〕
