Council when elected, and Calvert was out of the
Province when the commission was issued. He
does seem to have held office, however, for he later
attempted to collect certain fees and emoluments
which were due him by virtue of his service.

1647-1648/9 Thomas Greene

1649-1651/2 Captain William Stone

Greene; 1650, Thomas Hatton.

he was absent from the Province from June 1657
to February 1657/8.

1660-1661 Philip Calvert

1661-1676 Charles Calvert

Left Philip Calvert, William Calvert, Jerome White
and Baker Brooke as deputies governing the
Colony from May 1669 to November 1670 while
he was in England. On November 30, 1675, his
father died, and he became Lord Proprietary.

1676 Jesse Wharton

Cecilius Calvert, infant son of the Lord Proprie-
tary, was the nominal Governor from June to
October 1676, but, actually, the Province was gov-
erned by the Deputy Governors.

1676-1679 Thomas Notley

_Succeeded Wharton as Deputy Governor, and later,
in October 1676, was commissioned as Governor by
the Lord Proprietary.

1678/9-1684 Charles Calvert, Lord Proprietary

Calvert was definitely back in the Province by
January 1678/9, perhaps earlier, but he appears
to have permitted Notley to retain the title of
Governor until his death in April 1679.

1684-1688 Council of Deputy Governors

Benedict Leonard Calvert, infant son of the Lord
Proprietary, was commissioned Governor, but the
duties were actually performed by the Deputies.
The Deputies named in the commission were
George Talbot, Thomas Tailler, Colonel Vincent
Lowe, Colonel William Stevens, Colonel William
Burgess, Major Nicholas Sewall, and John Darnall.
Most of them served the entire period indicated,
but there were a few changes.

1688-1689 William Joseph

Named as President of the Council of Deputies in
a commission from the Lord Proprietary.
