Witkowski A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 Monica C. Witkowski Marquette University, 2010 What was the legal status of women in early colonial Maryland? This is the central question answered by this dissertation. Women, as exemplified through a series of case studies, understood the law and interacted with the nascent Maryland legal system. Each of the cases in the following chapters is slightly different. Each case examined in this dissertation illustrates how much independent legal agency women in the colony demonstrated. Throughout the seventeenth century, Maryland women appeared before the colony’s Provincial and county courts as witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys in criminal and civil trials. Women further entered their personal cattle marks, claimed land, and sued other colonists. This study asserts that they improved their social standing through these interactions with the courts. By exerting this much legal knowledge, they created an important place for themselves in Maryland society. Historians have begun to question the interpretation that Southern women were restricted to the home as housewives and mothers.

  • Avalon and Maryland: a Comparative Historical Archaeology of the Seventeenth­ Century New World Provinces of the Lords Baltimore (1621-1644)
    AVALON AND MARYLAND: A COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE SEVENTEENTH­ CENTURY NEW WORLD PROVINCES OF THE LORDS BALTIMORE (1621-1644) by Aaron F. Miller A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fu lfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology Memorial University ofNewfoundland February 2013 St. John' s Newfoundland Abstract The Calverts, a seventeenth-century English family headed by the first and second Lords Baltimore left a remarkable colonial legacy in North America. The Lords Baltimore established not one but two colonies in the 1620s and 1630s, the first becoming the Province of A val on in Newfoundland and the second the Province of Maryland. Avalon and Maryland examines the defining aspects of these two colonial ventures in order to better comprehend the history and archaeology of each as well as the differences in the two works and how the experiences at the first influenced the implementation of the second. The individuals who designed and applied those proposals at the two colonies are key to understanding the decisions made. George Calvert's governmental career and economic pursuits propelled his Newfoundland colony but his evolving settlement goals would change the nature of that work and come to define Maryland. His young heir Cecil took on this design and it would prove to be his life ' s work. The appointed leaders of the two colonies also played a crucial role in the on-the-ground decisions and based on George Calvert' s perceived problems at Newfoundland there was a shift from the leadership of military men to a trusted fami ly member at Maryland.

    /V\5/V5C 52>ai- I "? MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. II. SEPTEMBEB, 1907. No. 3. JOHN FRANCIS MERCER, GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND, 1801 TO 1803. JAMES MERCEK GAEXETT. As preliminary to a sketch of the life of John Francis Mercer, Governor of Maryland from 1801 to 1803, a brief account of his parentage and family may be given, as mistakes have been made in respect to them. John Francis Mercer was the son of John Mercer, of Marl- borough (the name of his estate), Stafford County, Virginia, by his second marriage with Ann Roy, daughter of Dr. Roy, of Essex County, Virginia. John Mercer was the son of John Mercer, of Dublin, Ireland, and his wife, Grace Fenton, grandson of Robert Mercer, and great-grandson of Noel Mercer, of Chester, Eugland, which is as far back as the records in my possession extend. Family tradition, however, connects this English family of Mercers with the Mercers of Aldie, Perthshire, Scotland. John Mercer came to Virginia in 1720 at the age of sixteen, and in 1725, at the age of twenty-one, married his first wife, Catherine Mason, daughter of Col. George Mason (2nd), of Staiford County, Virginia, sister of Col. George Mason (3rd), and aunt of George Mason (4th), of Gunston, Fairfax County, Va., who drew the Bill of Rights, and assisted in framing the first Constitution of Virginia in 1776. 191 192 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE. The sons of this marriage were George, John Feuton and James. John Fenton was lieutenant and captain in the French and Indian War, and was killed by the Indians on the Warm Springs Mountain, Virginia, near Edwards's Fort, in 1756.

Cheney Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English and Comparative Literature Michael Kulikowski Head, Department of History Professor of History and Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies iii ABSTRACT This dissertation offers a new analysis of the trans-Atlantic political culture of the English Empire in North America in the four decades following the creation of Virginia. Previous studies have shown that the English state took great interest in initial colonial efforts and enacted policies that served the collective interests of state goals for empire. Using a combination of previously unused legal records and petitions as well as familiar manuscript and printed sources, the dissertation shows that ordinary English people played an equally large role in the creation of trans-Atlantic political culture. Through a combination of lawsuits, requests, petitions, and letters, English people accessed the state and actively desired to involve it in solving problems in their communities.
