1646 Captain Edward Hill

Elected Governor by the Council while Leonard
Calvert was still in Virginia. He also claimed to
have a commission from Calvert. His appoint-
ment was illeg-al, as he was not a member of the
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.

1646-1647 Leonard Calvert
1647-1648/9 Thomas Greene

1649-1651/2 Captain William Stone
During absences from the Province he left the fol-
lowing men to act in his place: 1649, Thomas
Greene; 1650, Thomas Hatton.

Appointed Luke Barber to serve in bis place while
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

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 permlitted 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.
