| Notes |
- royal governor of Maryland in 1742-46; the town of Garrison's Landing was renamed Bladensburg in his honour
was an appointed Governor of Provincial Maryland in 1742.
He traveled to England, where he married Barbara Jansen (daughter of Sir Theodore Jansen, the Baronet of Surry), who was also the sister-in-law of Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore and Proprietor of the Province. In 1742, he returned to Maryland as provincial Governor, the first governor to be born in the Province.
Upon his arrival in Maryland, the Legislature awarded him £4,000 to build himself a residence, which was £1,000 more than his predecessor. In 1774, he bought 4 acres (16,000 m2) of land in Annapolis from Stephen Bordley and commenced construction of a building. He quickly disagreed with the Legislature about its architecture and became involved in a lawsuit with Bordley, the previous owner, and construction halted.
He quickly became an unpopular Governor and returned to England in 1746, when he was succeeded by Samuel Ogle .
In England, he was later a member of Parliament
