The form of Talbot County's creation though not
known was probably by virtue of an order of the
Governor in Council. The County was in existence by
February 18,1661/62, when a writ was issued to the
sheriff. The County was named after Grace Talbot,
sister of Cecilius Calvert, Second Lord Baltimore.
