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 Lady Grace Talbot, sister of Cecilius Calvert,
Second Lord Baltimore, and wife of Sir Robert
Talbot, Irish statesman.
