Soldier of the American Revolution. Charles Carroll was born near the town of Cork, Ireland, the son of James Carroll and Jane Blake. He had three siblings, William, Daniel, and Annie. As a young man in 1775 he emigrated with his two brothers to America. The three of them settled near Princeton, New Jersey. Soon the three all enlisted together to fight in the war for independence. They served as privates in the Second and later Fourth Jersey Regiments, New Jersey Continental Line. They served under Col. Israel Shreve. They fought at the battles of Germantown, Brandywine, Short Hills, White Plains, New Rochelle, Long Island, Newton and Chemung. They continued to serve until the end of the war in 1783 and were discharged together in Philadelphia. Brother William then moved to Northumberland, Pennsylvania, and later Allegany County, New York, married, and had a large family. Daniel moved to eastern Pennsylvania, but nothing more is known of him at this time.
Charles Carroll, who is memorialized here, moved to Allegany County, Maryland. He married and started a family of at least seven children. He was shown in the 1800 and 1820 Federal Census living in Allegany County, MD. In 1810 he was living in Hampshire County, Virginia (now Berkley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia), which is adjacent to Allegany, MD. According to oral family history his wife's name was Magdalene ____. In the 1820's Charles moved with his large family from Allegany County, Maryland, to soutwestern Ohio. For his wartime service Charles received a military land grant for one hundred acres. The land was located part in Montgomery, part in Preble counties, at the extreme Northwest corner of Montgomery county. In 1833 the family moved to nearby Miami County, Ohio. In 1836 he was robbed and killed on his Ohio farm by passing Indians, according to family legend. Charles' gravestone in Sugar Grove Cemetery disappeared in 1948.
According to researcher Kenyon Stevenson William Carroll during his first years in the colonies changed from the Roman Catholic to the Protestant faith. I believe it was the same with brother Charles Carroll.

William Carroll, abt1787MD-aft1830 in Allegany, MD, 2sons, 4 daughters, lived next to Shircliff/Shercliffe family. In 1850 William lived near the John and Jacob Slider family and also the Shircliff family. His father, Charles, in 1820 also lived next to the Shircliff family. This William Carroll should not be confused with another William Carroll, who was from the famous Carroll family and in the 1830's attempted to develop Green Ridge Forest. Our William was of modest means and not prominent.

Note: Some sources list Nathaniel W. Carroll, h of Olivia Rees, as a son of this Charles Carroll. That has been disproved. Nathaniel was born 1813 in Dudley, Worcester, MA, and later moved to Ross County, OH, where he married Olivia. There is no connection to the Miami County, OH, Carroll family.
One source lists a David Carroll and a John Carroll from Dayton, Montgomery, Ohio, as being a part of this Charles Carroll family. Actually, John and David, both brothers, were born in Frederick County, MD (not Allegany like Charles' sons) and are unrelated to the Charles Carroll family who lived for a time in Miami County, OH.
