Carroll. 318 LIFE OF ARCHBISHOP CARROLL. I cannot help expressing a wish that your clergy may be en- tirely independent of and unconnected with any foreign prince." ' In North Carolina, a Mrs. Gaston, widow of a victim of British cruelty during the war, retained her faith and edu- cated her son in the faith of her ancestors. About 1784 she was consoled by the arrival of the Rev. Patrick Cleary, canon of the church at Funchal, Madeira, who came to New Berne to obtain property to which he was ent...itled as heir of his brother. Mrs. Gaston fitted up a room in her house as a chapel, where Canon Cleary said mass for her family and a few Catholics in the place, among them John Devereux, who afterward settled at Raleigh. Canon Cleary did not intend to remain in the country, but he was detained by the law's delays, and died at New Berne in 1790. There were a few French Catholics about this time at Washington, North Carolina, but they soon died or with- drew, Walter Hanrahan remaining as the Catholic pioneer.
