Charles Holt Carroll, 1799-1890.

American businessman, writer of a series of articles on currency questions in the late 19th C. 

Little is known of Charles Holt Carroll save that he was self-identified as "a merchant from Massachusetts".  Further investigations by historians has unearthed that Charles H. Carroll was born in Charlestown, Mass. and eventually set himself up as a merchant in Baltimore in the late 1820s (this has led to confused allegations that Charles H. Carroll was related to the prominent patrician Carroll family of Maryland planters). Carroll moved back to Massachusetts in 1849, setting up a leather goods business in Boston.  He retired around 1860.

Charles Holt Carroll's principal contributions are a series of articles on banking and currency, primarily published in Hunt's Merchants' Magazine & Commercial Review, from 1855 to 1879.
