Daniel Carroll (1730–1796) of Upper Marlboro, Prince Georges County, Md., was a cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton and of Charles Carroll the “barrister.” Carroll was educated in France and after his return to Maryland in 1748 served as a member of the Continental Congress from 1780 to 1784 and a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and was a member of the Maryland senate. In 1789 he was elected to the First Congress, and in 1791 GW appointed him one of the three commissioners to superintend the construction of the new Federal City.
