Hi list. I don't think this distinction between immigrated and transported is correct (see below). I think immigrate refers to those who paid their own passage to come as opposed to those whose passage was paid for by someone else, either willingly or otherwise. The Conditions for Land Grants under Baltimore's government has a rich history. (For a quick summary see "The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate" by Harry Wright Newman, starting at page 61. (Incidentally in the next chapter he reviews "Hundreds".)) In the early days of Maryland many, actually most, came as transportees and had to work off their indentures under carefully defined contracts. These people hadn't done anything wrong--they just agreed to work off the cost of their passage. Under English inheritance laws generally only the oldest son inherited the family lands. Younger sons who had no means of support often indentured themselves to come to Maryland. After they had "paid" for their service they were awarded land under the"Conditions" terms. Very few transportees came to Maryland against their will. After the Restoration many who had fought against the Crown or were convicted of rebellion against the Crown (Jacobites for example) or were otherwise "convicted" were forcibly transported to some American colonies and especially to the Caribbean colonies of England. (Remember Raphael Sabatini's "Captain Blood"?). But my impression is that very few immigrants to Maryland were forced to come.
