Lecture: "Bones of Contention: St. Margaret’s, St. Anne’s and the Exhumation of Sir Robert Eden"
|
|
Thursday, January 3
7:00-9:30 pm
Severna Park United Methodist Church
731 Benfield Rd, Severna Park
Anne Arundel Genealogical Society features guest speaker Michael P. Parker, Professor of English (Ret.) United States Naval Academy
The mania for assembling colonial tombstones in St. Anne’s Churchyard, Annapolis, culminated in June 1926 with the translation, not of another stone, but of human remains: those of the last prerevolutionary governor of Maryland, Sir Robert Eden. Lawyer and antiquary Daniel Randall crowned his three-year search for the bones in the ruined church of St. Margaret’s Westminster by commissioning an elaborate stone to mark the new grave and planning a grand re-interment ceremony. The Eden translation relied extensively on forensic analysis and public pageantry to secure national, and even international, validation for the groups that supported it. The reburial, however, ignited a most public dispute between the parishes of St. Margaret’s and St. Anne’s that soured Randall’s triumph and raised questions about the bones that remain unanswered today.
