On this day 250 years ago the Maryland Assembly formed Maryland’s Committee of Correspondence joining Virginia, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, South Carolina and Georgia to coordinate responses to British rule. Thomas Johnson, William Paca, Samuel Chase, Matthew Tilghman, Matthias Hammond, Thomas Beale, James Lloyd Chamberlaine, Brice Thomas Beale Worthington, Joseph Sim, John Hall and Edward Boyd were named to the Committee. All but one of these Patriots would later serve in the government of Maryland during the Revolution.
