Edward Lloyd (Governor of Maryland)


Edward Lloyd (July 22, 1779June 2, 1834) served as Governor of Maryland from 1809 to 1811, and as a United States Senator from Maryland between 1819 and 1826. He was a member of a prominent Eastern Shore family, "the Lloyds of Wye," which had lived in Talbot County since the mid-1600s. He served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Maryland state militia.

The African-American abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who had grown up as a slave on one of Lloyd's plantations, discussed Lloyd at length in his 1845 autobiography The Narrative of Frederick Douglass.
