Eden, Sir Robert, 1768-1786

Royal governor; born in Durham, England. Succeeding Governor Sharpe as royal governor of Maryland in 1768, he was more moderate in his administration than his predecessors. He complied with the orders of Congress to abdicate the government. He went to England, and at the close of the war returned to recover his estate in Maryland. He had married a sister of Lord Baltimore, and was created a baronet, Oct. 19, 1776. He died in Annapolis, Md., Sept. 2, 1786.
