die without lawful issue, to his older daughter Louisa in fee, subject to a
charge of £20,000 to favor of his younger daughter Caroline. In 1762 the Hon.
Louisa Calvert carried John Browning of Barton Lodge, Epson (who died 13 May
1792). By him she had a son and heir, Charles Browning, Esq., of whom more

5. Frederick Calvert, 6th and last Baron Baltimore and 5th Proprietary,

b. 6 Feb. 1731/2, d. at Naples 4 Sept. 1771; as guardians he chose Arthur
Onslow, Speaker of the House of Commons, and John Sharps, Esq. However, he
was chiefly guided until 1765 by his uncle , the Hon. Cecilius Calvert, his
Principal Secretary , and thereafter by Hugh Hamersley, Esq., Calvert's succes-
sor. Feeble in body, conceited, frivolous, and dissipated, but withal generous
and sympathetic, the last Baltimore gave himself up to a life of pleasure,
took little part in the government of his province, and preferred the Conti-
nent to England. He sold Woodcote Park and his other estates in Great Britain
but determined, despite his father's will, to leave Maryland to a natural son,
one Henry Harford. Twice, in 1761 and 1767 , he endeavored to dock the entail
on his province. He then by will devised it all to Harford subject to the
payment of £20,000 between his (Baltimore's) sisters, Louisa Browning and
Caroline Eden, should they consent to the will.

6. Henry Harford , Esq., 6th and last Proprietary, b ----- 1760, d. Dec.
1835; chose for guardians Dr. John Moore, Dean of Canterbury, Hugh Hamersley,
the Principal Secretary, and his own step-father, Peter Provost, Esq. He mar-
ried and had issue, but, with the death of its present representative, Maj.
Frederick Reginald Harford of Broadfield, Beaconsfield, Bucks, his family will

become extinct. He enjoyed the revenues of Maryland only two or three years
