Old Line State Herald Old Line State Herald MDSSAR, Founded on April 20, 1889 at Annapolis, Maryland www.marylandsar.org State President James F. Engler, Sr. February 2016 Issue January Board Meeting IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE CHAPTERS IN THE MARYLAND SOCIETY. Several important issues were voted on at the State Meeting in January at the meeting of the Board of Officers and Managers of the Maryland Society: Every chapter has to file a Form 990-N with the Internal Revenue Service each year. This filing is done online, and it is a simple and easy process. If the Form 990-N is not filed on a timely basis, the chapter’s tax exempt charter/status under the Maryland Society umbrella could be jeopardized. If this happens, the chapter must reapply for a tax exempt status and be independent of the Maryland Society, and this is a time consuming and expensive process. It is recommended this filing take place in May of each year, but it can be done at any time. Please notify MDSSAR Treasurer Gary R. Neal when you complete the 990-N filing. His email address is [email protected]. In accordance with Article IV, Section 5 of the MDSSAR Bylaws, “Each chapter shall, by the fifteenth day of March in each year, submit a report of the financial condition and activities for the preceding twelve months, and such reports shall be incorporated in the annual reports of the State Society.” This financial condition report is to be sent MDSSAR Treasurer Gary R. Neal at [email protected]. Please send activities report to me, as MDSSAR Secretary, at least 10 days ahead of the Annual Meeting on April 16th. Each chapter is expected to submit by May 31st a yearly report on its activities for the annual Yearbook of the Maryland Society to MDSSAR Yearbook Editor Christopher Raborg. His email address is [email protected]. Each chapter must notify the Secretary of the Maryland Society whenever there is a change in an officer position. Please report the name, position, email address, telephone number, date of installation, and length of term. I am the current MDSSAR Secretary and my email address is [email protected]. My telephone number is 301-585-8629. Each chapter is expected to report the activities of the chapter since the last meeting of the MDSSAR Board of Officers and Manager at the next scheduled meeting. A representative from the chapter at BOM meeting is desired. If that is not possible, a written report is expected. Each chapter is expected to maintain a current database of its members including member names and their contact information.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland Founding the Proprietary Colony The founding and establishment of the propriety government of Maryland was the product of competing factors—political, commercial, social, and religious. It was intertwined with the history of one family, the Calverts, who were well established among the Yorkshire gentry and whose Catholic sympathies were widely known. George Calvert had been a favorite of the Stuart king, James I. In 1625, following a noteworthy career in politics, including periods as clerk of the Privy Council, member of Parliament, special emissary abroad of the king, and a principal secretary of state, Calvert openly declared his Catholicism. This declaration closed any future possibility of public office for him. Shortly thereafter, James elevated Calvert to the Irish peerage as the baron of Baltimore. Calvert’s absence from public office afforded him an opportunity to pursue his interests in overseas colonization. Calvert appealed to Charles I, son of James, for a land grant.1 Calvert’s appeal was honored, but he did not live to see a charter issued. In 1632, Charles granted a proprietary charter to Cecil Calvert, George’s son and the second baron of Baltimore, making him Maryland’s first proprietor. Maryland’s charter was the first long-lasting one of its kind to be issued among the thirteen mainland British American colonies. Proprietorships represented a real share in the king’s authority. They extended unusual power. Maryland’s charter, which constituted Calvert and his heirs as “the true and absolute Lords and Proprietaries of the Region,” might have been “the best example of a sweeping grant of power to a proprietor.” Proprietors could award land grants, confer titles, and establish courts, which included the prerogative of hearing appeals.

THE LEGAL PROFESSION IN COLONIAL AMERICA* Anton-Hermann Chroustt VI. NEw YORK New York accepted the common law of England as the basis of its own law at a relatively early stage. This favorable attitude towards English law is to a large extent probably due to the fact that the colony was acquired by conquest rather than settlement. Soon after the English had taken over New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664 and had renamed it New York, a code of laws was promulgated under the title of the Duke's Laws. In 1673 the Dutch retook New York and re-introduced the old Dutch laws, but lost it again in 1674 to the British who restored the code of 1665. This code, which is mainly the work of Matthias Nicolls, a barrister from Lincoln's Inn (1649), drew alike from the com- mon law, the Dutch colonial laws and from some of the local laws in force in the New England colonies.

  • Maryland Historical Magazine, 1948, Volume 43, Issue No. 2
    MflRyjQHIlX) MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY BALTIMORE JUNE • 1948 IN 1929 the Hutzler Service Building was erected on the north side of Saratoga Street. Extending through to Mulberry, this building contained the Parking Garage, Warehouse, Delivery Station, (and subsequently the Hutzler Fountain Shop) and was connected with the Hutzler Store by a tunnel under Saratoga Street. This expansion, along with the 1928 moves, and the purchase of electricity and steam from the public utility, enabled us to open Hutzler's Downstairs, "A Thrift Store with Hutzler Standards." This was an entirely new store, with a separate merchandising and buying organization, but with Hutzler ownership and policies. HUTZLER BROTHERS CO. MSA- SC 5S6H-IK3 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE A Quarterly Volume XLIII JUNE, 1948 Number 2 TRAVELS OF AN ENGLISH IMMIGRANT TO MARYLAND IN 1796-1797 Edited by JOHN RALPH LAMBERT, JR. LTHOUGH many American families trace their ancestry to some adventurous spirit who relin- quished European ties in order to establish himself in the New World, accounts of the actual voyage of migration, related by the forebear who made it, 1are few 1 indeed. The following sketch, written in 1829, from notes describing events in 1796 and 1797, supplies such a narrative for one Maryland family—the Brevitts. In it Dr. Joseph Brevitt, a hospital surgeon attached to units of the British army in the West Indies, describes conditions existing in both the Windward and the Leeward Islands during the epoch following the French Revo- lution, his disillusionment at the prospects of advancement in military service, and his ultimate determination to seek his fortune in the recently established American Republic.
