A. B. H., fol. 65," is given by this list as different from "Robert Shoeley, 1633, Liber 1, fol. 37." Reference to these prove them to have been the same man.

"Capt. Robt. Wintour," Liber 2, fol. 161, the Society's list. Examination of this shows "The estate of Capt. Robert Winter, late of St. Mary's Esq., delivered by John Lewger, secretary, fourth of September, 1639." The author can add a further entry in Liber 1, page 18, "Jan. 12th, 1637, came into the province Captain Robert Wintour, who transported Richard Brown, Arthur Webb, John Speed, Bartholamew Phillips, Thomas White."

"Garrett Fitzwalters, 1633, Liber 1, page 171," the Society's list. According to the entry referred to, in the year 1650, it is stated that "Garrett Fitzwalters was brought in 'about nine years since,' which eliminates him also as an Ark and Dove settler.

"Francis Gray, Liber 1, page 222," the Society's list is mentioned in a suit in which Nicholas Keylin demanded three hundred pounds of tobacco for the price of a hog. This was after the year 1634, as reference to the preceding page in Liber 1 shows that court had been held in August, 1634.

"Thomas Matthews, Liber 2, page 500, 1633," the Society's list. An examination of this reference proves that on Aug. 17th, 1649, "Thomas Matthews demanded 4000 acres of land due to him by assignment from Mr. Thomas Copely."

"Fernando Pulton, 1633, Liber 1, fol. 27," the Society's list. The author finds Liber A. B. H., pages 65 and 66, "Mr. Fernando Pulton demandeth land due by conditions of plantations under these several titles for men brought in by the several persons whose assign the said Fernando

Pulton is, and for men brought in in his own right; those in his own right brought in by himself Ano. 1638," proving that Fernando Pulton did not come in the Ark and the Dove.

"John Norton, Sr., John Norton, Jr., Christopher Martin and Cuthbert Fenwick, 1633, A. B. H. Liber 244," are entered in the Society's list, but upon reference it is seen that the entry reads "Anodom 1634" "brought the same year and exported from Virginia four servants, viz: Cuthbert Fenwick, Christopher Martin, John Norton, Sr., John Norton, Jr."

Cuthbert Fenwick's name being one of the few names erroneously included in the author's first collection is, no doubt, responsible for his name appearing in the Society's list.

"Thomas Price, 1633, Liber A. B. H., fol. 82," the Society's list, proves to be one of the men transported in the year 1634 by Thomas Pasmore, evidently from Virginia.

"John Elbin, A. B. H., fol. 65-66, John Elkin, 1633, Liber 1, fol. 20, John Elkins, 1633, fol. 38, Liber 1," the Society's list. Upon careful examination the name is John Elkin on each folio quoted, and the engrosser's error which appeared in the executive list, i.e., "John Elbin," is evidently responsible for the mistake giving two names for one man.

"John Sanders, immigrant, 1633, Liber 1, fol. 30, A. B. H. fol. 65, fol. 244. Sanders, John, servant, Liber 1, fol. 38 (1633)," the Society's list. These names and entries indicate two men, one a gentleman and one a servant, but in reality the references prove that on page 65 Mr. John Saunders is mentioned, and on page 244 it is stated that Thomas Cornwallis, Esq., received from his partner,

Mr. John Sanders, who, dying in the Ark" "gave him five servants," and in Liber 1, page 38, Fernando Pulton demands land as assignee of Mr. John Sanders, Anno. 1633. These assignments prove that there was but one man intended, and that Mr. John Saunders, who died on the Ark. It must be noted that although Fernando Pulton is entered here as an assignee of Mr. John Sanders, it does not mean that he received these men personally from Mr. Sanders, but that the men under whom he claimed land had been transported by Mr. Sanders, as Pulton is shown above to have stated the year 1638 as being the date of his own arrival.

"Francis Rogers, Liber 1, page 38, in their list, 1633," should be Francis Rabnett.

"Thomas Stratham, Liber 1-19, etc.," should be "Statham."

"Thomas Hawley," entered in their list as one of the Commissioners in connection with his brother, Jerome Hawley, was not a commissioner, as he was the Governor in Barbadoes when visited by Leonard Calvert en route, for the purpose of buying corn.

After the above analysis the author regrets to say that not a single one of the forty or more "additional names" claimed in their list as first (1633) adventurers, has stood the test of critical investigation.

MARYLAND EXECUTIVE EXHIBIT

"Collected and Arranged by Mrs. Hester Dorsey Richardson, Special Executive Historian; exhibited at the Jamestown Exposition 1907 "

GOVERNOR WARFIELD has, during his entire administration, grasped every opportunity to honor the people of Maryland, and to preserve and perpetuate the history of the State.

His tribute to Maryland's part in the making of our national history, in his famous speech at the St. Louis Exposition, gave the State a national recognition and status never before enjoyed.

His successful effort to restore to its original condition the historic old Senate Chamber in the State House at Annapolis has added a vital interest to our Capitol which it has not possessed since its dismantling in 1876. This room hallowed by the most sublime act in the history of America-the resignation of his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the American Army by General Washington, December 23, 1783-has with the two adjoining rooms been dedicated as a memorial hall of Maryland history. A place in which to preserve and exploit all that lends interest and lustre to the old Commonwealth.

As a part of his plan and purpose, Governor Warfield desired a collection which would demonstrate the status of the founders of Maryland, morally, educationally and

socially, this collection to be made from original sources, and as an offset to the many generally accepted errors regarding the early settlers of Maryland.

When the officials of the Jamestown Exposition announced that History would have first place at the tercentennial celebration, Governor Warfield recognized this as an opportunity to have Maryland's early history emphasized and full justice done her. first settlers, should he have exhibited there the memorial collection which he was making for the State House at Annapolis.

Realizing that a collection of this kind could be made most quickly and satisfactorily by one thoroughly familiar with the original records of the State, and one who had demonstrated a desire to bring to light all that would reflect honor on Maryland, Governor Warfield issued a Commission bearing date at Annapolis, November 9, 1906, to Mrs. Hester Dorsey Richardson, which reads: "Be it known that you are hereby appointed Special Executive Historian to represent the Executive Department of the State of Maryland, in connection with the historic work of the Jamestown Exposition. To collect and put in shape such historic data and documents as will redound to the fame and glory of Maryland."

Accompanying this Commission, Colonel Oswald Tilghman, Secretary of State, wrote "Dear Madam: By direction of His Excellency Governor Edwin Warfield, I have the honor to transmit to you herewith a Commission as Special Executive Historian, etc. . . . The Governor sincerely hopes that you will accept this position, as he well knows and thoroughly appreciates your exceptional capabilities for satisfactorily performing this critical literary work."
