The Rev. William Brogden, son of William Brogden of Calvert County, Md., went to England to obtain
holy orders. He was ordained deacon on Aug. 6, 1735 and priest doubtless very soon afterwards, for he received
the King's Bounty (Fothergill) for his passage to Virginia on Sept. 11, 1735. Soon after this date he is found in
Maryland where he served successively as rector of All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel County, and of Queen
Anne's Parish, Prince George's County, retaining the incumbency of the latter until his death in 1770. He was
possessed of a comfortable estate and left a good memory and many descendants. A sketch of him by the Rev.
Ethan Allen, D. D. appears in Sprague, Annals (Epis.) pp. 85-88. See below No. 177.
