Brent House was named in honor
of Margaret Brent, the first wom-
an, according to history, to prac-
tice law in the Western Hemisphere
An English Catholic, Margaret
Brent settled in St. Marys County
Md, in 1888, with her sister Mary
and her brothers, Giles and Fulke
She was given power of attorney
by her brother and personally set
tied many matters of law for him
She was named sole executrix of
the estate of Leonard Calvert at
the time Of his death-a difficult
assignment, as the old Governor
had left many debts and few as
sets. In later years, Margaret Brent
moved to Virginia, where she died
in 1871.
