| Death* | 31 October 1684 | He died on 31 October 1684 at Maryland. Christopher Rousby died 31 October, 1684, aboard His Majesty's ketch Quaker at anchor near Drum Point in the mouth of the Patuxent, murdered by George Talbot (cousin of Lord Baltimore). See the following article from the Baltimore Sun. Lost Soul - Three hundred years after his death, a murdered tax collector's body remains missing and his tombstone rests in pieces. June 21, 2005, By Stephanie Desmon, Stephanie Desmon, SUN STAFF. ST. LEONARD -- In the more than 300 years since his violent death, the life and memory of Christopher Rousby have been commemorated, miscalculated, relocated and all but obliterated. And now, after all these years, the long-ago tax collector for the king still can't seem to find a proper resting place. Rousby, who was killed at the hands of a cousin of Lord Baltimore in 1684, was buried under a 1,000-pound slab of limestone soon after his death. If only he was left there in peace. At some point after his burial, his remains were lost. And over the past 65 years, the tombstone made a strange journey from Southern Maryland to a Michigan museum and back again. Now it rests, in pieces, in a conservation laboratory at the Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in Calvert County, as locals decide whether it can be restored and possibly re-erected somewhere. "It's a shame it was ever even removed," said Joan McGill Kocen, a Lusby woman with a keen interest in the history of the Rousbys who helped get the stone returned to Maryland. "We wanted it back to tell the story." And what a story it is. Removed from the spot where it was set down in the 1940s, soon after the Navy determined it would put a new air station atop the old Rousby homestead, Rousby's grave marker, his remains, his house and his story became part of the Henry Ford Museum of American history in suburban Detroit. For decades, actors in Colonial garb stood inside his relocated Susquehanna plantation home on the grounds of the Dearborn museum and told the tale of Rousby's life -- a powerful man who was stabbed to death by a rival. But then historians realized that the house, in fact, wasn't Rousby's -- it didn't even date to the 17th century -- and his story went quiet. Once again, it was relegated to local folklore and the occasional history book. His tombstone was put into storage in Michigan and nearly forgotten. Three years ago, however, after prodding from Kocen, the stone came home to Maryland. Now, carefully packed in a wooden crate, it awaits a decision about its fate. Death and remains Rousby was a prominent attorney and politician in Colonial Maryland who was named the king's tax collector on the recommendation of Lord Baltimore. But things between the two quickly soured, and Baltimore tried to have Rousby removed from his post. Lord Baltimore's cousin George Talbot also had a simmering feud with Rousby. One night in late October 1684, Rousby was aboard a boat anchored in the Patuxent River. Talbot rowed out to meet it. A fight ensued and, according to historical records, Talbot fatally stabbed Rousby with a dagger "newly prepared and sharpened." The boat's captain placed Talbot in irons and sailed to Virginia, fearing there would be no justice meted out to a cousin of Lord Baltimore in Maryland. But Talbot's wife staged a daring escape and spirited her husband to Cecil County. He hid and wore disguises but, by May 1685, Talbot again was apprehended and returned to Virginia, according to a paper written by Julia A. King, an adjunct professor of anthropology at St. Mary's College of Maryland and director of the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory in St. Leonard. In Virginia, Talbot was sentenced to death but later was pardoned by the king. Family members are believed to have buried Rousby alongside a creek on land that is now part of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station -- about a half-mile from property that would become the Susquehanna plantation. That's where engineers sent by car-maker Henry Ford found the stone in 1942, flat against the land, cracked into pieces, when they came to remove what they believed was Rousby's home. The Navy was taking over what had been the crossroads of Cedar Point; eviction notices were tacked to front doors, with some owners given 30 days to leave. Samuel Young, who lived in Michigan, had bought Susquehanna at the behest of his late wife, a St. Mary's County native, King said. When they were told to leave, Young offered the home to Ford, who had a historic village at his museum that included Thomas Edison's workshop. Young apparently told Ford of the property's connection to Rousby and life in Maryland a century before the American Revolution. The house could be Ford's for free. "All he had to do was come and get it," King said. "The only thing this guy wanted was a plaque memorializing his wife." On display so men from the museum came. Instead of a grand manor home, they found a moderate wooden house, 60 feet by 15 feet, about the size of a mobile home. The workers carefully took it apart, piece by piece. They took Rousby's tombstone, too. And they took what was underneath the stone -- described on the inventory as "a bag of bones." The crew loaded everything onto trucks, then onto a train, bound for Dearborn, where the parts were reconstructed and put on display as a vehicle by which to talk about early colonists such as Rousby.2,1 |

Lording Barry1
M, b. 1580, d. before 21 July 1629
| Birth* | 1580 | Lording Barry was born in 1580 at St. Lawrence Pountney Parish, City of London, County of London, England.3 |
| Christening | 17 April 1580 | He was christened on 17 April 1580 at St. Lawrence Pountney Parish, City of London, England.3 |
| Anecdote* | 1600 | The prinicpal source for the information on Edmund Scarburgh's wife Hannah is from a monograph by Cecil L'Estrange Ewen, printed in 1938, entitled "Lording Barry, Poet and Pirate", which gives a pedigree for several generations of Barry's family and allied lines along with dates of wills (and extensive information on the life and career of Barry, whose antecedents had been something of a literary mystery...it was thought, for instance, that "Lording" was some sort of honorific and that he was the son or bastard son of a Lord Barry). Lording Barry's association with Edward Bennett is mentioned in "The Encyclopedia of English Renaissance Literature", p.51 (viewable via Google Books). The will of Lording Barry, as follows, names him as "Captain and part-owner of the good shippe Edward of London". (See also John Bennett Boddie, "Seventeeth Century Isle of Wight"; mentions grant of a letter of marque to Edward Bennett for the ship Edward, of London on p. 51). Lording Barry, sometime playwright and partner in the theatre company of the Children of the King's Revels, later pirate, and in later life part-owner of the privateer Edward of London, whose principal owner was Edward Bennett of Bennett's Plantation (uncle of Richard Bennett who was gov. of Virginia, and great-uncle of Elizabeth Bennett who married Charles Scarburgh, son of Col. Edmund Scarburgh).2 |
| Will - Father's* | 1607 | Lording was named in his father's will in 1607. Lording Barry was left the sum of approximately £10 in his father's will of 1607 (one-fifth of one-third of the estate); he invested it in a theatre company, the Children of the King's Revels, at Whitefriars, London. He is known as the author of at least two plays; "Ram Alley", and "The Family of Love" (previously attributed to John Webster, best known as the author of "The Duchess of Malfi"). Barry went heavily into debt over his theatrical venture, and was jailed in the Marshalsea Prison, from which he escaped, and, buying a horse on credit, made his way to Ireland and a career of piracy. A vessel he was aboard, the Fly, was taken by a King's ship on return from a pirating voyage; Barry was among those turned ashore by the Royal Navy officer (Ewen speculates that the leniency shown to Barry may have something to do with the fact that a Barry, Viscount Buttevant, was one of the King's Commissioners for piracy, and that the arms of Barry's father--given in "A Visitation of Wales and Part of the Marches" as "barry of six argent and gules, a crescent or for difference" were almost identical to those of the Viscounts Buttevant). Barry later took part in Sir Walter Raleigh's last, failed expedition to the Orinoco in 1616-17, and returning to England was eventually in partnership with Edward Bennett, as seen above from his will.4 |
| Anecdote | 1617 | In 1617 Lording Barry had another nearly disatrous privateering adventure, as part of Sir Walter Ralegh's gold-mining expedition to Guyana. Back in London, Barry became part-owner of a trading vessel called the Edward of London, whose principal owner was Edwad Bennett, a commissioner of Virginia at the court of England. This ship was, in 1627, granted a letter of marque to take pirates and enemy ships. Barry's career at sea seems to have come full circle. Barry wrote no other plays and seems not to have married or had children. His niece Hannah Scarburgh, however, emigrated to Virginia, and had children and grandchildren there. Some small genetic remnant of Barry was, perhaps, at last enjoying the riches and freedom of a new world which the playwright had so vigorously pursued.5 |
| Will* | 18 July 1625 | Lording made a will on 18 July 1625 at London, England. In the name of God, Amen. I Lordinge Barrye, captaine and part owner of the good shippe called the Edward of London, beeing of perfect minde and memorie thankes be to god doe make and declare this my last will and testament in writing in manner and forme followinge.
