A must see: NATIONAL TREASURE, starring Nick Cage, about a secret message in invisible ink on the back of the Declaration
of Independence. Portrayal of our ancestor Charles Carroll and his
dying wish to turn over the information of the secret treasure.
NEW BOOK RELEASED: THE LIFE, TIMES & WRITINGS OF ANNA ELLA CARROLL 1815-1894 by Author KAY LARSON
Book can be purchased from Barnes and Nobles, and Xlibris.
The true and compelling story as written by Kay Larson of the Life of Anna Ella Carroll and her efforts with Lincoln
and the Generals in the time of the
Civil War. Her efforts for recognition denied her for the drafting of the plans she engineered. A story needing to be
told. Much appreciation to Kay Larson in her time consuming efforts to have Anna Ella Carroll's story told as never before!
My name is Mary Carroll-Bower, and I come from the
illustrious Ely O'Carroll Clan from Tipperary, Ireland.
They started out as Kings and Princes, and became Barons and
Lords:
My line descends from Sir Richard Grace, and from Sir Robert King to Henry Carroll and Mary Barnes, to Thomas
King Carroll as well as his Uncle Charles Carroll of Carrollton the last survivor who signed the Declaration of
Independence.
Our family left Ireland and settled in Texas. The KING-CARROLL FAMILIES, again remarried in my line,
in Texas. For over a hundred years, I lost my Carroll family that descended from the Ely O'Carroll line. Now we have been
found! BENT BUT NOT BROKEN, and forever home! A happy ending!
If your looking for genealogy on these lines, or just
great reading, there are some excellent Books out now, including our families. The Latest being, PRINCES OF IRELAND, PLANTERS
OF MARYLAND,a Carroll Saga. This book includes the family genealogy from Anthony to Charles Carroll, and the story of the
Father and son, and an impossible but true empire they built in the New Land, America. It's a strange story to hear common
names among friends, such as: George Washington, who greatly admired one of the Carroll grandaughters, Benjamin Franklin,
Robert Goodloe Harper, son-in-law to Charles Carroll, John Carroll, Archbishop.
Thomas King Carroll,was Govenor of
Maryland, and Abraham Lincoln, lived on the backland close to Carroll land in Kentucky. He would become the friend of the
daughter, Anna Ella Carroll. Thomas King Carroll's brother Cecil, was named after Lord Baltimore,Calvert, and as a child he
often rode in the horse coach that had the coat of arms of both the Carroll-Calverts on each door.
It was Daniel Carroll of Duddington, along with the Rozier -Young families, that sold to the newly formed government,
the Land that the WHITEHOUSE, our Capital Building was built on, and today stands on.
Charles Carroll of Carrollton was the oldest and last survivor who signed the Declaration of Independence.
It was Charles Carroll who incited the War of Independence, and it was Queen Elizabeth who made him the most wanted man in
America. Yet he boldly signed what he believed in equality for all men and freedom., by signing his full name Charles Carroll
of Carrollton, which told where he could be found.
Later his grandaughters, "The Lady Graces" would marry back into the Royal
English line, through Duke Wellington's brother Richard Wellesley, to the Queen Elizabeth's Mother, the Queen Mum, and
we would forever again become cousins. The granddaughters becoming LADY MCTAVISH, LADY STAFFORD, DUCHESS OF LEEDS, AND MARCHIONESS OF WELLESLEY.
Another book on the King-Carroll line is an old one by the title of: ANNA ELLA CARROLL AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN. This story
lists the genealogy of the King-Carroll line to the Stevenson line, the Catons, Harpers, and tells of the Grand meetings with
the Charles Carroll cousin lines. For many years these two families remained indifferent, over Politics and Religion to each
other, until "Charley" was born.
Notes are mentioned about Francis Scott Key, who wrote, THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER,
and worked in the Carroll Law Firm. It's a heart felt story of a determined family. A family that I saw the same determination
in, as a child growing up under their shadows. A family that you loved to be loved by, and hated to be disliked by. A strong
and devoted family, who loved God and their country. Francis Jenkins, Henry Clay, and John Hampton, all intergrated into our
family. Anna Ella Carroll knew General Grant personally as well as many other military leaders of the day., for much was written
of her, "THE LADY WAS A GENERAL!" and "DEAR LADY" as Abraham Lincoln referred to her.
Then the latest is ERIN'S BLOOD
ROYAL. This book lists the dynastic families of Ireland and their backgrounds. It makes for interesting reading. Our own dear
Chief Elie O'Carroll is pictured in that book.
Of course I am still working on one, WAR TORN, THE CARROLL FAMILY,
about my own lines of the family, and what their differences were Politically, and Religiously that kept them apart, but their
love, always brought them full circle again. A true story of a family divided by North and South, loyalty to Ireland, and
loyalty to America. The Carroll name, Charles Carroll the forbearer, leaves it's legacy on many towns and counties in the
U.S. from North to South. Carroll Contributions to our book are most welcome.
Any family members from any of our lines, feel free to contact me. Also any inquiries
will be answered as soon as possible.

Charles Carroll's relatives and grandaughters married into English royals by way of the Butlers and Platagenets.
One Carroll-Caton grandaughter became Marchioness of Wellesley, another became Duchess of Leeds, another, Lady Stafford, and
another Lady McTavish.
Our family line extents to the McNamaras, the McMahons, the Stewart-Stuarts, Parkers, Graces, Calverts, Kennedy and Kellys,
and the Forbes, only to mention a few...
The story in Texas extents to the Parker clan whose daughter Cynthia was kidnapped by Peta Nacona, Chief of the Comanches.
By him she had the child who would become the last Comanche Chief, Quanah Parker. My great-great-great Aunt Carroll was hiding
in a clothes trunk that day at Ft. Parker where the Indian Raid took place. Their son became John Parker Carroll. Cynthia
Ann was only recognised by her blue eyes that gave way to the Texas Rangers believing her to be the captured white woman.
Cynthia was recaptured back by the Texas Rangers, of whom my great grandfather was one of. Cynthia Ann died of a broken heart
for her children and husband of the Indian Nation. Each year as a child I had my family reunions at Ft. Parker in Texas, and
visited the rooms of the old fort and the log bunks that they slept in. For me it had special meaning.
Many new and adventurous things in my life. I am President of the National Toxic
Mold Coalition and Foundation, The Carroll Foundation.
We are working on a book about the Carroll's as well as a documentary
movie. Any ideas, notes, photos, or family stories are welcome. The title is WAR TORN, THE CARROLL FAMILY.
