Charles Carroll (Settler)

Charles Carroll (1661–1720), sometimes called Charles Carroll the Settler to differentiate him from his son and grandson,[1] was a wealthy lawyer and planter in colonial Maryland. Carroll, a Catholic, is best known because his efforts to hold office in the Protestant-dominated colony (of Maryland) resulted in the disfranchisement of the colony's Catholics.
