| charles county maryland history: The History of Charles County, Maryland Margaret Brown Klapthor, Paul Dennis Brown, 2013-02 Chronicles 300 years in the development of Charles County. The area known today as Charles County lies along a wide curve of the Potomac River, just south of Washington, D.C., and across the river from George Washington's boyhood home in Virginia. It has been steeped in history since Captain John Smith explored the area in 1608. This commemorative book marked Charles County's 300th birthday by chronicling its beginning in the 17th century, its growth and development in the 18th century, and its maturity in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is illustrated with ancient maps and portraits of historical figures, from Charles Calvert, third Lord Baltimore, for whom the county was named, to the Lincoln conspirators, who fled across the county in their desperate escape bid. Researchers will find an abundance of valuable material: a thorough list of notes and references is followed by appendices which include a description of the original boundaries of old Charles County (which included parts of St. Mary's, Calvert, present-day Charles and Prince George's counties); a list of Charles Countians of prominence; bibliography; 1790 U.S. census for Charles County, and a comprehensive index of names, places, and subjects. This work is cited in the Harvard Guide to American History. |

| charles county maryland history: Southern Maryland's Historic Landmarks Christopher R. Eck, 2016 Southern Maryland is made up of a collection of peninsulas covered in low rolling hills, fields, forests, swamps, and waterways leading to the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. As such, this area enjoyed relative isolation and small population for over three centuries despite its proximity to cities such as Alexandria, Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington. Those who did settle here developed a close connection to its farms, waterways, and natural remoteness. Southern Maryland, known for the state's earliest Colonial settlements, is composed of three of the state's oldest counties: St. Mary's, Charles, and Calvert. Although largely agricultural and maritime in outlook, this region was also the birthplace of the nation's ideal of religious freedom and many of its greatest citizens, including leaders of the Revolution, the early national government, and the state. Many of their homes and churches survive as historic landmarks, or their existence has been documented and preserved for posterity. |

| charles county maryland history: Indians of Southern Maryland Rebecca Seib, Helen C. Rountree, 2015-03-31 New from the Maryland Historical Society, the story of Southern Maryland’s Native people. Here at last is the story of Southern Maryland’s Native people, from the end of the Ice Age to the present. Intended for a general audience, it explains how they have been adapting to changing conditions—both climatic and human—for all of that time in a way that is jargon-free and readable. The authors, cultural anthropologists with long experience of modern Indian people, convincingly demonstrate that all through their history, Native people have behaved like rational adults, contrary to the common stereotype of Indians. Moreover, in the very early Contact Period at least, some English settlers respected them accordingly. Unfortunately, although they never went to war against the English, they were driven nearly out of existence. Yet some of them refused to leave, and, adapting yet again to a changing world, their descendants are living successfully in Indian communities today. |

| charles county maryland history: Maryland's Charles Town, 1742 and Beyond Gerard W. Wittstadt, Jr., 2021-02 While a freshman attending Loyola High School, my mother, who was then a Professor at Towson University grounded me for a minor transgression, to be paroled only after I had finished reading the Novel Chesapeake by James A. Mitchner (Random House, 1978). I was immediately and magically transported to Maryland's Eastern Shore (yes always was a capital E and a capital S), circa 1650. The novel richly illustrates the lives and relationships between the family of the Susquehannock Indian, Pentaquod, who fled his war-like northern tribe for more peaceful times down the Susquehanna River and into the Chesapeake Bay and the Roman Catholic Steed family, the Quaker Paxton family, and the waterman Turlock family. This novel instilled in me a love of history that has been reflected in my legal career and in my several collecting interests. Moreover, Mitchner's novel allowed me to understand from where I came and how my family got to where they are today. In the summer of 1979, I was certainly not aware that I was descended from the Piscataway Indian Princess Kittamaquund and those earliest of Maryland families who arrived at St. Clement's on the Arc and Dove in 1634. I firmly believe that my personality and character are much in line with the native people of Maryland's Eastern Shore, as much as the Steeds, Paxtons and Turlock families. And although unfortunately Maryland Society is not quite as refined as it was before the War Between the States, I am still proud to be a Marylander. In this book about Charles Town in Cecil County, I present my attempt to add to the history of the Chesapeake Bay, certainly not to the extent that Mr. Mitchner accomplished, but rather in my own way of helping to preserve its history through the wonderful art of decoy carving. I hope you enjoy viewing this book as much as I loved producing it. My next project, entitled The Maryland Line, a Pictural History of Images and Artifacts, will be available soon. |

| charles county maryland history: Catholic Families of Southern Maryland , 1985 St. Mary's residents played a key role in the development of the Catholic Church throughout the whole of America, providing the spearhead of the westward expansion of Catholicism. In 1785, for example, the first of many Catholic families from St. Mary's crossed the mountains to find land in Kentucky, while a few years later, driven by economic necessity, others migrated to Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas. Mr. O'Rourke has collected many of the earliest surviving records of the Catholic families of St. Mary's County, Maryland. The most significant portion of the work contains the marriages and baptisms from the Jesuit parishes of St. Francis Xavier and St. Inigoes, which, in the case of baptisms (1767-1794), give the names of children, parents, and godparents, and the date of baptism; and in the case of marriages (1767-1784), the names of the married partners and the date of marriage. |

| charles county maryland history: Faith and Tobacco Franklin A. Robinson, Jr., 2015-11-30 From the colonial era until well into the 20th century, the combination of faith and the income from tobacco built and sustained the Anglican parishes of Maryland. This book examines the history of St. Thomas' Parish in Prince George's County--a parish whose roots reach back to one of the earliest congregations in the colony. The text covers not only the events and people at the local parish level but also gives insight into the necessary and practical business of managing a parish: supporting a rector, maintaining church buildings, and nurturing the growth of congregations.Calvert, Claggett, Bowie, Eversfield--names woven throughout Maryland history and the history of St. Thomas' Parish appear throughout Faith & Tobacco. Letters, diaries, journals, and personal papers of priests and parishioners, some recently discovered, offer a fascinating view of the life of this parish and its people. |

| charles county maryland history: Charles County Revisited Jacqueline Zilliox, 2009 Charles County was chartered in 1658 and marked its 350th anniversary in 2008. In its lifespan, it has transformed itself from an agriculturally based English colony to an explosive commercial bedroom community for Washington, D.C. In this second volume on Charles County, the author reveals just how that happened. Most of the images in this book focus on the explosive growth the county experienced from the 1940s to 1970s. They also provide a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people doing everyday things. An eye-opening chapter about the county's legalized gambling era will recall the neon icons that signaled entrepreneurial risk takers, gamblers, and service industries to enter, and forever change, southern Maryland's plantation lifestyle. A chapter on law enforcement and the judicial system will solicit an appreciation of one of the earliest institutions in the county. Good Samaritans are properly recognized for their noble works in chapters on infrastructure and service clubs. |
