A Summary from the Foregoing.
WE have already seen in our Introductory Statements, that at the acknow- ledgment of our Independence, in 1783, there were then in Maryland 38 Church of England Clergymen.
Since that date, we have had ordained for Maryland: 2 by foreign Bishops; 5 by Bishop Seabury, of Connecticut, and 14 by Bishop White, of Pennsyl- vania-making 21 before we had the Episcopate in this State.
Since then, 37 were ordained for Maryland by Bishop Claggett, our first Bishop ; 24 by Bishop Kemp, his successor; 23 by Bishop Stone, and 77 by our present Diocesan; 15 have also been ordained for Maryland during vacancies. Besides these, 24 Maryland young men have resorted to other Dioceses for Holy Orders; a fact this, which prompts the question, was this in all cases loyal to the Church of Maryland? 13 of them were before the present Episcopate. The numbers thus given present us with 221 who have come into the Ministry from our own soil; while, during this period, we have had come into this Diocese near 248-making in all, 550 Clergymen to have been Maryland Clergymen, since our Ecclesiastical Independence, in 1783, a period of seventy-seven years. Of these, deducting the ante-revolution Clergy, not more than 20 have been of foreign ordination. The Maryland Church thus has furnished such inducements to 271 of our other Dioceses, as to have secured their services for a season, if not for life: would that she had so far fulfilled her duty as to have given to others as many as she has received from them. But little more than 40 of our native Maryland Clergymen have gone to other Dioceses, and of these, more than 25 have returned here again.
Of the 512 Clergymen who have been or become residents here since 1783, apart from the 38 then here, the first 86 are not now numbered among the living. These were all here previous to 1810. Of the 42 who succeeded them to 1820, inclusive, but 15 are living; 27 are dead: of the more than 150 who succeeded in the next 20 years, 57 are dead: of the 231 of the last 20 years, 15 are dead. Thus we find 223 to have passed away, of which number, 95 died after they had removed from among us, leaving about 128 to have died while in Maryland, in 77 years, of which 128, 84 died before the now oldest living Clergyman came among us in 1812-in other words, we have had but 44 deaths among the resident Clergy in 48 years last past.
