RE: Charles Carroll the Settler's Family [I have recently discovered I have ties to this Carroll family and I'm posting this in hopes of helping fellow researchers!] Charles the Settler Carroll was the son of Daniel O'Carroll of Aghagurty, County Tipperary, Ireland, who died in 1688, leaving four sons: Anthony, the eldest; Charles the Settler; Thomas (Black Tom); and the youngest, John; and one daughter, Joanna, although there may have been other daughters. On 1 Oct. 1688, Charles Carroll arrived in Maryland--freshly armed with an appointment to the new colony of Maryland as Attorney General. On the way to Maryland, Carrol changed his family motto from "In fide et in bello forte" [Strong in faith and war] to "Ubicumque cum libertate" [Anywhere so long as there be freedom]. Eventually, Charles would be called Charles the Settler to distinguish himself from the THREE {emphasis mine} other Charles Carroll's in Maryland. Two of Charles’s brothers would also emigrate to Maryland: Daniel Carroll--who settled at Upper Marlboro, MD--and James Carroll--who settled in Anne Arundel Co., MD. Some years later, about 1715, another Daniel Carroll [the son of Anthony, the eldest brother] would arrive in Maryland. It was the Daniel Carroll who settled at Upper Marlboro and married Eleanor Darnall who were the parents of Rev. John Carroll, S. J. [Jesuit], the man later to become the first Bishop and Archbishop of Baltimore. The Jesuits had been founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, the same year King Henry VII separated the English Church from Rome. "With long ties to the Catholic Church, the O’Carrolls took special interest in the formation of the Society of Jesus...It is rumored that a[n]...O’Carroll met with Ignatius and made a secret pact tying the O’Carroll family to the Jesuit order, forever. Over the years, many sons of the O’Carrolls have joined the order," says Ronald Hoffman in his book "Princes of Ireland, Planters of Maryland: A Carroll Saga, 1500-1782." John Carroll, the third son of Daniel and Eleanor, was born 8 Jan. 1735 and, when he was 12, he went to the Jesuits' grammar school at Bohemia in Cecil Co., MD. After one year there, he went abroad to St. Omer's College in French Flanders and for six years pursued a liberal education. His father died in 1750 and, in 1753, John Carroll joined the Society of Jesus. In 1755, he began his studies of philosophy and theology at Liège and, after 14 years, in 1769, he was ordained priest at the age of 34. SO, John Carroll was the nephew to Charles the Settler Carroll and, as he was a priest, he was unmarried. That being said, Charles the Settler had relatives living in County Tipperary who may have been the ancestors you're looking for. Regards, Madehlinne
