Mrs. Carroll was the second wife of ex-Governor Carroll. Their marriage took place at the cathedral, in Baltimore, in April, 1877, while Mr. Carroll was governor of Maryland. The marriage was private, only immediate members of the two families being present. Rev. Father Lee, a cousin of the groom, celebrated the nuptial mass.
Mrs. Carroll was one of six sisters noted for their beauty and prominent in society. Three of them married brothers. Mrs. Carroll spent about sixteen years with her sister, Mrs. Charles Carroll, in Rome, Paris and other cities of Europe before her marriage to Governor Carroll. During the summer months she and her husband lived at the historic family estate, Doughenegan Manor, in Howard county. She was a devoted Catholic, and during the summers attended the chapel at Doughenegan Manor.
