Notes for George Calvert: George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, b. 1580, M.P. successively for Bossiney, Yorkshire and Oxford University, who, having served as secretary to Sir Robert Cecil when Secretary of State, and afterwards as Clerk to the Privy Coucil, received a knighthood 1617 and was appointed, in 1618, Secretary of State to the King, who employed him in the most important affairs, and settled, in 1620, a pension of L1,000 a year upon him beyond his salary. Sir George, however, becoming a Roman Catholic, voluntarily resigned his post. The King continued him, nevertheless in the Privy Council, and having made him large grants of land in Ireland, raided him to the peerage of that kingdom, in 1624, as Baron Baltimore, in the County of Longford. Whilst Secretary of State, his lordship obtained a grant in the province of Avalon, in Newfoundland, with the most extensive privileges, and expended L25,000 in the settlement thereof. This place he visited thrice in the reign of King James I, but on account of the French encroachments, and also because of the very severe climate in winter, he abandoned it altogether; whereupon he obtained from King Charles I, a patent of Maryland, to him and his heirs for ever, with the same title and royalties as in Avalon, to hold in common soccage as of the manor of Windsor, paying yearly as acknowledgement to the Crown, two Indian Arrows at Windsor Castle, upon Easter Tuesday, and the fifth part of the gold and silver ore. His lordship did not live, however, to see the grant pass the great seal, and his son, Cecil, the succeeding Lord Baltimore, had it made out in his own name, bearing date 20 June 1632.

Leonard4 Calvert (George3, Leonard2, George1) was born 21 Nov 1610 in London, Middlesex, England, and died 09 Jun 1647 in St. Mary's, Maryland. He married Anne Brent 1642 in England, daughter of Richard Brent and Elizabeth Reed. She was born Abt. 1622 in Illmington, London, England, and died Abt. 1646 in St. Mary's City, St. Mary's, Maryland. Notes for Leonard Calvert: Second son of George Calvert , brother to Cecil , and governor of Maryland from 1633 to 1647. He led the first expedition from England to the new colony; established good relations with the local Indians; selected the site of the capital at St. Mary's City; and attempted to execute the orders and designs of his brother amidst the almost constant hostility of the Virginians. He was out of the colony for almost two years following Richard Ingle's invasion of Maryland in 1645, but finally restored proprietary authority and died soon after. He made Margaret Brent, his sister-in-law, his executrix. CALVERT, LEONARD (ca. 1606-1647) BORN: ca. 1606 in England; second son. IMMIGRATED: in 1633/34 as a free adult.

Papenfuse, et al., A Biographical Dictionary of the Maryland Legislature, 1635-1789, Vol. I, A-H, (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1979), p. 190. Proprietary Governor of Maryland, 1634-1647, born in England, 1607; died in Maryland, 9 June, 1647. He was the second son of George Calvert, first to protect the colony of Avalon against the depredations of French cruisers. In 1633, his brother, the second Lord Baltimore, appointed him Governor of Maryland and sent him in charge of an expedition to make a settlement. Two vessels, the Ark and Dove, carrying over 300 settlers sailed from the harbour of Cowes, 22 November, 1633, arriving at point Comfort, Virginia, 24 February, 1634. On 27 March they landed at what is now St. Mary's, then the site of an Indian village, and they began the work of establishing a settlement. The Indians received them kindly and sold them the land. Clayborne of the Virginia colony had established a trading post on Kent Island, which was in the domain of Maryland. After the settlement at St. Mary's this trade was continued. Trouble arose and Clayborne went to England to lay is claims before the king, but was informed that the island belonged to Lord Baltimore.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION OF STATE CIRCLE, ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND by Esther Doyle Read Contributions by Jean Russo George Logan Brett Burk Mark P. Leone, PhD Barbara J. Little, PhD Principal Investigators 30 June 1990 Report prepared for the City of Annapolis by "Archaeology in Annapolis" A cooperative project between The Historic Annapolis Foundation and The University of Maryland, College Park ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Funding for the State Circle Archaeological Project was provided by the City of Annapolis. The State of Maryland provided the City with the bulk of funding for the undergrounding of the utilities and also provided the bulk of the funds for the archaeological component of the project. All of the State funds were administered through the State's Department of General Services. The funds allotted to the City were administered by the City's Department of Public Works. The City of Annapolis, Department of Public Works administered the funds for the archaeological project. Historic Annapolis Foundation administered the funds for the archaeological project under an agreement with the city's Department of Public Works. The University of Maryland, College Park, through its Department of Anthropology, provided all the labor and supervision for the archaeological project. The Maryland Historical Trust, a division of the State's Department of Housing and Community Development facilitated the agreements between the State, the City, and Historic Annapolis k oundation. Numerous individuals contributed to the success of this project. I would like to thank Govenor William Donald Schaffer for his support of the archaeological work done on State Circle. Earl Seboda, Director of the State Department of General Services and Jerry Walls, Chief of the Department of General Services Police, as well as their staffs, were always supportive throughout the project.

  • Ing Items Have Been Registered
    ACCEPTANCES Page 1 of 31 March 2015 LoAR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED: ÆTHELMEARC Adeliz Argenti. Release of Badge. Or, a gurges azure, overall four caltraps in pall gules. Amano Zenjirou Nakatsune. Name. Brygida Kxanszka. Name change from holding name Byrghitta of Abhainn Cíach Ghlais. Submitted as Brygida K siazska, the submitter requested authenticity for "Polish (Hanseatic League time)". First, the given name Brygida and the byname Ksiazska were documented in the Letter of Intent as modern forms. In commentary, ffride wlffsdotter documented the given name Brigida in Latin context, along with the attested forms of the byname Kxanszka, Czrenska, and Xanszka, all found in SSNO. As i/y/j switches are used in Poland in both Latin and Polish language documents, the spelling Brygida is a plausible variant of the attested Brigida. It is also found as an attested given name in mid- to late 16th century Switzerland in the FamilySearch Historical Records. The submitter preferred the spelling K xanszka, so we have made this change to the byname in order to register the name Brigida is dated between c.1265 and 1484. The byname Kxanszka is dated to 1390. Therefore, the name likely meets the submitter’s request for authenticity. Dorothea fitz Waryn. Device. Or, a dog rampant contourny and a chief indented gules. Dragos Palaiologos. Name change from holding name Dragos of Coppertree. The submitter requested authenticity for a 15th century Byzantine name. This request was not summarized in the Letter of Intent. However, we had enough information to consider the request instead of pending the name for further commentary.

  • Adventures in the Sack Trade: London Merchants in the Canada and Newfoundland Trades, 1627-1648
    Adventures in the Sack Trade: London Merchants in the Canada and Newfoundland Trades, 1627-1648 Peter Pope Introduction: Fish into Wine The oft-made, if oft-challenged, assertion that the British cod fishery at Newfoundland was a multilateral trade is not a claim about the geographic path of every ship venturing across the Atlantic with a cargo of dried fish, but an economic analysis of the flow of goods. Whatever the itineraries of individual ships, this important early modern trade was essentially triangular. Mediterranean and Iberian ports imported Newfoundland cod and exported wine and fruit to English and Dutch ports, which in turn exported labour and supplies to Newfoundland. But the ships venturing to the fishery were normally not heavily laden, either in tonnage or value. In other words, if the Newfoundland trade was triangular, it was a flow with two steady streams and one trickle. The wealth extracted from the sea and the value added in making fish returned to England from southern Europe, whether in specie or in the form of wine, fruit, oil, cork or other goods. Only a small fraction of these returns were re-directed to Newfoundland.1 England's trade with Spain and Portugal grew rapidly in the first half of the seventeenth century, particularly during the shipping boom of the 1630s. Wine, much of it from Malaga, was a major English import from Iberia, although raisins and olive oil were also significant.2 The trade in these goods was no less seasonal than the trade in cod. Their respective commercial cycles meshed perfectly: raisins reached market in August; the vintage was shipped in September, October and November; and olive oil was sent in the winter.

  • Christopher 1642 09.Pages 1 Import Workers and for Workers to Eventually Become Landowners - Indentured Servitude
    Note: Narrative histories are "evergreen' documents - constantly growing with additions, updates, corrections... Please email [email protected] if you have any data/information to add or correct. Christopher [1642] Christopher [1642] Choate/Chotte/Chote/Choote/Choak/Chotle/Shoates1 immigrated as an indentured servant to the Province of Maryland in 16762 and is identified by researchers as the first in the line of the “Choates of the South”. There is conjecture that Christopher [1642] was born in Rivenhall Parish, Essex County, England (approx. 35 miles NE of London) and is one of the children of Christopher Choate and Jane (buried: 10 Nov 1667) who resided there. Their children (baptism) were: Edward (29 Apr 1639), Christopher (4 Sep 1642), and John (3 Nov 1644 d. 15 Aug 1717).3 It is hard to imagine the true reasons why a man of 34 would be inspired or compelled to leave the Old World for the New World. Indentured servants were typically bound for a period of 4-7 years after which they became “freemen” and then had the opportunity for upward mobility in the Province. Christopher [1642] acquired 11 acres of land, “Chootes His Chance,” in 1681 and died before November 16, 1692 when an appraisement of his estate was made. There is no record of Christopher [1642] marrying and the name of his wife is not known. The 1706 records indicate a Choate orphan guardian and two Choates, Christopher [~1685] and Edward [~1686], appear on the tax lists indicating they are probably 16-21 years old. It is assumed these two boys are the second generation of "Choates of the South".
