If such had not been mentioned as "gentlemen of very good fashion," and the only reference to their names in the records had been in connection with the lands received by others for their transportation, the modern reader would naturally enough not have had any more reason for recognizing the difference in their social status than of many not so mentioned by Lord Baltimore.

Caecilius Calvert in the "Conditions of Plantations," published at London September 8, 1635-written 1634names the following as "gentlemen adventurers who are gone in person to this Plantation:

"Leonard Calvert, the Governor; George Calvert, His Lordship's brothers; Jerome Hawley, Thomas Cornwallis, the Commissioners; Richard Gerard, son to Sir Thomas Gerard, Knight; Edward Wintour, Frederick Wintour, sons to Lady Anne Wintour; Henry Wiseman, son to Sir Thomas Wiseman; John Saunders, Edward Cranfield, Henry Greene, Nicholas Fairfax, John Baxter, Thomas Dorrell, Captain John Hill, John Medcalfe, William Saire."

The original Calvert papers give the names of Captain Richard Lowe as master of the Ark, John Bowlter, purser of the Ark (found in Admiralty office, London, by Mr. Henry F. Thompson), Richard Edwards, Chirurgeon of the Ark, mentioned in Leonard Calvert's letter to Sir Richard Lechford, giving account of trip to Maryland (dated May 30, 1634).

Captain Wintour, commander of the Dove, mentioned in original Calvert papers No. 35-the other officers of the Dove named in a contract with Lord Baltimore and others September 30, 1633-found by Mr. Henry F. Thompson in the Admiralty Office, London.

These were "Richard Orchard, master of the Dove;" "Samuel Lawson, mate;" "Richard Kenton, boatswain;" "John Games, gunner;" "John Curke and Nicholas Perrie," employes, duties not specified.

"Mr. Robert Smithson" was mentioned in Leonard Calvert's letter to Sir Richard Letchford as having come in the Ark with the first adventurers (he was also a gentleman of quality).

Mr. Barefoot, mentioned by Father White, Calvert Papers No. 35 as "one faithful servant of my Lorde, who died on the Ark en route."

The first list of adventurers on the Ark and Dove was published by the author in August, 1903, it being her pioneer work in the manuscript records of Maryland to establish the names of those who came in the first adventure to Maryland. At that time 1634 was accepted as the year of settlement, and those who were entered on the records as having come in that year were included by the author in her first published list, and these were also included in the original list prepared for the Special Executive Exhibit, which later was revised in the final analysis, and is now the first and only official List of Maryland's First Settlers as the following will make evident.

The first Maryland adventurers who arrived in Maryland water on March 3, 1633, and landed on St. Clement's Island, March 25, 1634, the first day of the new year (old style).

Governor Leonard Calvert and George Calvert, brothers to His Lordship. The Commissioners, Mr. Jerome Hawley, Thomas Cornwallis, Esq., Richard Lowe, Master of the Ark; John Bowlter, Purser of the Ark; Richard

Edwards, chirurgeon of the Ark; Captain Wintour, commander of the Dove; Richard Orchard, master of the Dove; Samuel Lawson, mate of the Dove; John Games, gunner of the Dove; Richard Kenton, boatswain of the Dove; John Curke, Crew on the Dove; Nicholas Parrie, Crew on the Dove.

The following from the Land Records proves that there were other arrivals in the year 1634, after those who landed on the first day, this being March 25 (old style), the finding of which entry caused the writer to revise the executive list before publishing.

Liber A. B. H., page 67. "October 15th, 1639, Mr. Thomas Green demandeth land due to him by the conditions of plantations-that is to say in his own right for himself, and two servants, Anam Bonam and Thomas Cooper, brought into the Province Anno 1633—and one servant, Thomas Wills, brought into the Province 1634."

The assignments here given in abstract, illustrate the repetition of the same lists of transported settlers, according to records found in "Warrants" and A. B. H., and give some idea of the difficulty the author had when gleaning the names of the first adventurers, from these transcribed and unindexed books, when unassisted she in the year 1903 collected the first list ever compiled from original sources in Maryland, and which, with a few very slight changes, stands today practically unaltered. Liber 1, pages 19 and 20. "Entered by Mr. Copley. Brought in the year 1633." (Copley himself did not come until 1636.)

(Father White says Nicholas Fairfax died on the Ark.)

Warrants, Liber 1, folio 26. "Thomas Cornwalleys, Esq., demandeth 2,000 acres by first conditions of Plantations for transporting five able men in the year 1633, viz.: John Hollowes, John Holdern, Roger Walter, Roger Morgan and Josias, that was drowned afterwards."

Liber 1, page 37. "Mr. Fernando Pulton demandeth land due by conditions of Plantations and these several titles following, that is to say for men brought in by several persons whose assignee, the said Fernando Pulton, is and for men brought in in his own right; as assignee of Mr. Andrew White brought into the Province Anno 1633.
