- The will of Copley was made on 7/17 Sep 1693 and proven on 23 Sep/3 Oct 1693.
- Also in New York, Dominion of New England, and Virginia.
- The commission issued to Andros, then serving as governor of Virginia, authorized him to assume the government of Maryland in the event of Nicholson's death and/or Copley's absence. In practice, the situation was reversed: Copley had died, and Nicholson was absent. Members of the Council objected to Andros's interpretation of his authority, but he dismissed their protests and proceeded to take control.
- Also in the Dominion of New England, Virginia, Nova Scotia, and Carolina.
- The commission of Nicholson was read in Council on 26 Jul/5 Aug 1694, but his swearing-in took place on 27 Jul/6 Aug 1694.
- Seymour's commission included the customary clause providing that, in the event of his death, the functions of governor would devolve upon a designated Commander-in-Chief, or, in the absence of such an appointment, upon the Council, to be presided over by the eldest member named in the instructions. Although Francis Jenkins was entitled to serve as President under this provision, the Council passed him over, citing his inaction following Seymour's death, and instead designated Lloyd.
- Ogle accompanied the Proprietary on his trip to Virginia, culminating in Calvert's departure for England on 8/19 Jul 1733. Ogle returned to Maryland where his commission was read and published on 11/22 Jul 1733.
- After the death of Ogle, the functions of Governor devolved on the Council presided by Tasker who took the oath of office on 4/15 May 1752.
- On 23 Jun 1776 Eden boarded a British warship which departed for England on 26 Jun 1776.
