Thank you both for the references on the Carroll family. I know of their history well as I studied all the founders and their faith a number of years ago. However a few of the sources were new to me. Thanks. One of my favorite quotes from Charles Carroll: “Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure,… are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.”  American History Resources
