CHAPTER IX
B ETWEEN the years 1629 and 1630, an Anglo-Saxon settlement was planted at Kent Island on the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake. Here it took root and flourished, and so when Lord Baltimore's colonists arrived a few years later to substantiate his claims, they found others ready to dispute his title. Colonel William Claiborne stands out in local history as the head of the rebels, and as he was defeated, but still declined to acknowledge the supremacy of the new over-lord, he was banished and his lands forfeited. Some of his followers returned to England, but many settlers re- mained. By Gov. Leonard Calvert the island was deemed of sufficient importance to have its affairs regulated by a Commissioner, whom he duly appointed. As early as 1638, we find burgesses from the Isle of Kent attending the General Assembly, held that year at Fort St. Mary's. This island, therefore, wrangled over as it was, even to the shedding of blood, stands to us as a landmark on the plat of time, to be consulted in the laying out of the new lines of our present interests. Here there is still a farm going by Claiborne's name, and here are the site and foundations of a church, built in 1650, which serve as a connecting link in the ecclesi- astical traditions, originating with the ministrations of the Rev. Richard James, the clergyman of the first Anglo-Saxon settlement. Broad Creek church, erected in 1650, and Christ church at Stevensville, its successor, erected in 1880, repre- sent a long lapse of time in the history of a people, only the old place of worship is now but a memory; bushes and briars have been allowed to take possession of the God's acre, where
185
The Eastern Shore
the living once paid honor to their dead, and the venerable monuments have crumbled away. The only ancient tomb- stones reported to us in this locality, are those on the farm of James Bright, near the site of the old church, and those on Walter F. White's place, at Crab-Alley Neck.
Co-eval with the building of the church on Broad creek, in 1650, the boundaries of Kent county were defined. They embraced all the territory on the mainland lying between the Sassafras river on the north, and the Choptank on the south, a very large slice of the Eastern shore, and now divided into Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot and a part of Caroline counties. The island that gave it its name has meanwhile fallen to the portion of Queen Anne's.
The mainland, which can be reached from the island at low tide by a causeway crossing the Narrows, is rich in old places of burial and here tombstones are still to be found, bearing the well-known names of Bennett, Blake, Carroll, Chamberlaine, Decourcy, Earle, Goldsborough, Hall, Lloyd, Neale, Rousby, Rozer and Tilghman.
Four stones are all that remain of the graveyard at Ben- nett's Point. There are bits of what may have been the facing of a vault, or the upright frame of Captain Greene's stone, and broken bricks scattered around. Here is found the tomb of Dorothy Carroll. The top of the slab, a perfectly pre- served specimen of white marble, is ornamented with the Carroll coat of arms impaled with another, probably that of Blake-chevron between three shocks of wheat-the whole being surmounted by helmet and crest-the Carroll bird-and deeply carved in a lozenge. The stone lies apart from the rest of the group and bears this inscription :
Here lyeth Interr'd the Remains of Dorothy Carroll Daughter of Mr. Charles Blake of Wye River in the Province of

She departed this life the 8 day of July Anno Domini 1734, Aged Thirty-one Years, Seven Months and Twelve Days.
An almost illegible, broken gray slab, has the following inscription (the brackets indicate portions illegible) :

Other inscriptions on the stones of Richard Bennett and his wife are:
Here lieth the body of Richard Bennett Esq., who was born the 16th of September 1667, and died ye 11th of October 1749. His Father Died Young His Grandfather, who was also named Richard Bennett, was Governor of Virignia.

At the " Hermitage," Queen Anne county, lie the remains of Dr. Richard Tilghman, the progenitor of the Tilghman family, also those of his wife Mary Foxley. He died in 1675; she survived him twenty years. The graveyard is kept in good order and the names of those buried there furnish an interesting list of Tilghmans who distinguished themselves in their day and generation.
