Carroll, Charles (“of Carrollton”)

(1737–1832) Revolutionary leader, U.S. senator; born in Annapolis, Md. (cousin of John Cardinal Carroll). Son of a wealthy, land-owning Catholic family, he was educated at Jesuit schools in France and read law in London, then returned to Maryland in 1765 and took over the family estate, Carrollton. He devoted himself to developing the property until he got drawn into politics in 1773 and ended up as spokesman for the patriot cause. In 1776 he accompanied Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Chase, and his cousin, John, on a failed mission to persuade Canada to join the revolting colonies. As a member of the Continental Congress (1776–78) he signed the Declaration of Independence; later he was a member of the U.S. Senate (Fed., Md.; 1789–92). Active in trade, land development, and with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, at his death he was said to be the wealthiest man in America as well as the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence.
