  (Not sure where Joanna O'Carroll fits into this pedigree.  In a
  biographical sketch of the distinguished Howard family, published in the
  Baltimore Sun, it was said that Mrs. Howard's father was one of the
  O'Carrolls of Ely O'Carroll in County Tipperary, progenitors of Charles
  Carroll of Carrollton, and that he too settled in Maryland.)
