Lord Baltimore's plantation"
This communication of Lord Bal
timore's was ignored. The Dutch had
gained supremacy over the Swedes
and named their colony the New
Netherlands, and they now tried to
drive out the Marylanders Lord
Baltimore sent the fearless Admiral
Jan Jansen Alpendam, with his
fleet, into Delaware Bay, where the
strong-hearted admiral made a fer
ocious verbal attack on the leaders
of the hostile settlers, telling them at
great length ito get out" But the
admiral was unprepared for the
counter attack and when they told
him in plain English that they
would see him damned first" the ad-
miral was stumped. So he sailed
home and made a report of prog
ress."
The English eventually conquered
all the territory of the Dutch
claimed New Netherlands The King
then granted the same area to his
brother, the Duke of York, who in
turn granted it to William Penn.
PENIS grant was from the Delaware
River, whence it extended west
ward five degrees of longitude, the
43rd. degree of latitude on the north,
and on the south, a circle of twelve
miles drawn around New Castle, to
the beginning of the 40th degree of
latitude" This. apparently did not
change the northern boundary of
Maryland, but the twelve mile
circle was not sufficiently described
to determine its location
The poor description of this circle
was to later rob Maryland of a large
and valuable strip of land The de
scription does not say whether the
circle was to have a twelve mile
radius diameter, or circumference.
However, regardless of how this
circle would be drawn, it could not
touch the 40th degree of latitude.
So William Penn contended the en-
tire document, eventually winning
for his province, and the state of
Pennsylvania, a twenty-mile strip,
the length of the state
During these discussions, on one
occasion, Lord Baltiomre was in the
town of Upland, now Chester, with
a representative of William Penn.
PENIS representative was both
amazed and confused" to discover
that the 40th parallel was twelve
miles north of the town they were
in, placing the town within the
legal borders of Maryland. This
throws light on what was probably
the real cause of all the trouble; the
