Calvert rose from humble beginnings to become a member of the court of King James I, holding several different positions before retiring from his post as Secretary of State in 1625. At that time, given the title of Baron Baltimore by the King, he began colonization efforts in British North America on land he had purchased on what is now the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland. In 1628 Baltimore moved with his family to the colony in Ferryland. The colony was at first quite successful; however, a failing fishery, poor climate, religious prejudice, and conflicts with the French caused Baltimore to relocate to Virginia, where, as a Roman Catholic, he encountered much resistance. He was later granted land that was to become Maryland. Although Baltimore struggled to maintain his rights in Ferryland, they were lost as a result of disuse. Baltimore returned to England where he died in 1632. Extract from: Annual report of the American Historical Association for the year 1905, reprint edition. Includes bibliographical references.
