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 illegal, 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. |
