On March 25, 1655, colonial Governor William Stone landed Maryland militia at the Puritan settlement of Providence, at the mouth of the Severn River, intending to subdue settlers who had asserted their independence from the government in St. Mary's City. The Puritan militia defeated Stone's forces and secured temporary control of the colony, ruling Maryland until 1658, when an agreement restored proprietary authority to Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore.
