The English law at that time prohibited the marriage of a member of the Royal family with any one of lower rank. The marriage of Charles and Amelia was dissolved or annulled because of the possibility of the Princess Amelia succeeding to the throne of Eng. If she had succeeded to the throne (she did not, however) and did not marry a Royal husband--or if she married a Royal husband, had no issue by him, they were afraid that Benedict (of "Mt. Airey") might claim the throne and oust the Royal family, so the marriage of the Princess Amelia to Charles Lord Baltimore, which was contrary to the English law, was "hushed up," the records destroyed, and the child, Benedict, sent to America and kept there, under the care of Dr. George Steuart of Annapolis. He was well provided for financially by his father who also gave him the beautiful estate known as "Mt. Airey."
