context_page_description: Charles Carroll was an American heir who was prominent in New York Society during the Gilded Age. After the death of his father in 1911, Carroll was the unofficial head of Carroll family of Maryland.
context_section_description: Despite spending most of his life in Paris, Carroll and his wife were considered prominent in New York and Newport society.  In 1892, they were included in Ward McAllister's "Four Hundred", purported to be an index of New York's best families, published in The New York Times. Conveniently, 400 was the number of people that could fit into Mrs. Astor's ballroom.
  Following his father's death in 1911, Carroll bought out his other family members interest in the Carroll family estate, Doughoregan Manor in Ellicott City, Maryland, in 1912.
