From Dictionary of Christianity in America. page 209/10. Catholic colonizer of Maryland. Born in London in 1606, Cecilius or Cecil, was the eldest son of George Calvert, Baron of Baltimore in Ireland. On his father's death in 1632, Cecilius succeeded to the title. He immediately began to realize his father's dream of establishing a colony in America as a refuge for his fellow Catholics. On Nov. 22, 1633, Calvert dispatched to Maryland two ships, the Ark and the Dove, with between 200-300 settlers abroad, the majority of them Protestants. Among these were the Jesuit priests Andrew White and John Altham, accompanied by a lay brother Thomas Gervase. Determined to avoid religious strife in the new colony, Cecilius instructed his brother Leonard Calvert who, he had appointed governor, that all settlers were to be granted religious liberty. He invited the Society of Jesus to care for the spriritual needs of Maryland's Catholics provided they construct self-supported missions, land for which they would obtain from him. When the Jesuits insisted on their right to acquire unlimited land grants from the Indians, Cecilius pressured the Jesuit General to order his subjects to conform to proprietory law and to grant the proprietor a veto over missionaries assigned to the colony.

During the English Civil War Maryland was seized Virginia Puritans who expelled Governor Leonard Calvert. He regained control of the colony but died shortly thereafter in 1647. To difuse religious tension, Cecilius appointed as Governor a Protestant, Wiilliam Stone, in 1648. When Charles I was executed in Jan 1649 and the Commonwealth created, Calvert wrote 'The Act Concerning Religion' adopted by the colony on April 21, 1649, which was designed to allay Puritan suspicions and save his proprietorship. Though Virginia Puritans again seized Maryland in 1655, it was returned to him in 1658. Calvert died in London on November 30, 1675. .

From: History of Early Maryland, by Rev. Theodore C. Gambrall, A. M., D.D. Published by Thomas Whittaker, New York, 1893 http://members.tripod.com/~jweaver300/md/hemd.htm#2: Lord Baltimore, who had learned experience by his father's attempts in Newfoundland, and by his association with the Virginia Company, spent, we are told, forty thousand pounds sterling in getting his colony firmly and definitely started; a venture that very few would have
felt themselves justified in making even if they had the ability. Colonization by the English was a new thing, and for its success required boldness as well as large resources. Besides, Lord Baltimore, being the sole grantee of the charter, was not hampered by a multitude of counsellors, among whom there will always be some doubtful and timid spirits, and some who, if not doubtful and timid, can always find some reason for questioning every
proposition. Doubless one great cause why Maryland and Pennsylvania succeeded so well, was that in each case one man was at the head of affairs, and so all rivalry and jealousy in the source of administration, were avoided. from Melissa Thompson Alexander [email protected].

Notes

"The Thompson family (Robert of Chesterfield Co. VA) came in at least in the early 1770's and they intermarried with the other prominent Va. Families those being the Watkins and the Olivers. Isham Thompson mentioned above married Mary Ann Oliver the sister of Dionysius Oliver the founder of Old Petersburg, a thriving town there in Elbert Co. where the most prominent families lived and did business. Isham Thompson was the brother of John Farley Thompson. I have never found a service record in the Rev. for John Farley but I believe he must have served.

Most of these Thompson brothers and their sisters and their husbands caught the "WESTERN" fever and moved onto Alabama. John Farley died before March 1793 and left wills both in Old Pendleton, S.C. and in Elbert Co. Ga. His son Isham Thompson (not to be confused now with his Uncle) married Elizabeth Williams. They were the parents of the famous General Wyley Thompson who married Elizabeth Ellington. This union bore no children. But Wyley was an Indian Agent, an Veteran of the War of 1812. During his years as Indian Agent he was sent into Florida to try and settle the Indian Wars there. To make a long story short he got involved with an Indian Princess there. She bore him a son. He had given a set of pearl handled pistols to the Indian chief and he was later killed with them for his indiscretion with the daughter. His brother was my GGG Grandfather GAINES THOMPSON. The Gaines family also being one of the 1st families into the area with Gen. Matthews, I am uncertan how my ggggrandfather came to be named GAINES but I am certain there was either some association or kinmanship with the family." ^[S538]
