Sally Carroll of Maryland, married a
young lieutenant in the army named
Griffith. Her second marriage to Count
EsterhaZy, more than thirty years ago,
when the bridegroom was attache of
legation here, is one of the few al
1iances ever permitted an Austro- Hun
garian diplomat with an American
bride. Only the claim of the CAROLS
that they had always lived on their
own landed estates from the establish
ment of the American government and
the fact of their being always of the
professions and never in trade, made
this marriage possible, it is said. Fol-
lowing the death of her husband his
widow returned to Washington, where
she resided permanently until some
eight years ago.
