182-, Maryland. Stock certificate for one share. Black. Nice ornate border on the certificate which measures 9 3/4" x 6 3/4". Signed as president of the company by DANIEL CARROLL OF DUDDINGTON. Daniel Carroll of Duddington II, inherited about half of Duddington Manor, including the part on which the Sewall-Belmont House now stands. It became known as the Daniel Carroll Farm. Carroll was at one time the richest man in the District of Columbia and held civic posts to a degree unequalled in the District's early history. He was related to Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence and the wealthiest signer, and to John Carroll, the first Roman Catholic bishop (and later archbishop) in the United States and the founder of Georgetown University. A fine Turnpike rarity signed by this prominent Maryland figure. Some minor paper loss at lower right corner. Otherwise fine.
