    [Evidence suggests that he never went to Maryland. He was described as "Master in Chancery" (i.e. the Lord Chancellor's Court) and was granted a patent for Eltonhead Manor in 1658 to provide 50 settlers to New Albion in Maryland. His 1660 death cut short those plans and triggered the reversion of Eltonhead Manor back to the proprietary.]
