Anne Arundell

Anne Calvert, Baroness Baltimore (née Arundell; 1615/1616 – 23 July 1649) was an English noblewoman, daughter of Thomas Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Wardour by second wife Anne Philipson, and wife of Lord Baltimore, who founded the Province of Maryland colony. Anne Arundel County in Maryland, (the third of the state's 23 counties/jurisdictions), in the U.S., was named for her. In addition, USS Anne Arundel (AP-76), an American naval transport ship of the Elizabeth C. Stanton-class was in turn named after the Maryland county. It served in the United States Navy from 1940 to 1970.
