John Carroll SJ (January 8, 1735 – December 3, 1815 [1]) was an American Catholic prelate who served as the first Bishop of Baltimore, the first diocese in the new United States.
After Carroll died in 1815, Neale automatically succeeded him as archbishop of Baltimore. However, due to Neale's bad health, Pope Pius VII in 1816 appointed Reverend Ambrose Maréchal as coadjutor archbishop. When Neale died in 1817, Maréchal succeeded him as archbishop of Baltimore. [13] [18]
