| | Daniel Carroll |
 | | Until the Revolution Daniel Carroll led the life of the country gentlemen of the day, but it may be noted that the Catholic men who had been sent abroad to school were far superior, as a class, to their neighbours, whose narrow and insular education rarely led them to interests beyond their county limits. |
 | | Carroll was an active partisan of the colonists, serving as a member from Maryland of the old Colonial Congress (1780-1784). |
 | | On 15 April, 1791, Carroll and David Stuart, as the official commissioners of Congress, laid the corner-stone of the District of Columbia at Jones's Point near Alexandria, Virginia. |
