	Edward Lloyd, The Govenor
		EDWARD LLOYD (V) On the 22nd of July 1779, admidst the "storm and stress" of the revolutionary period was born Edward Lloyd, the fifth of his name, the future Governor of the yet infant State of Maryland, and the future senator of the yet embryonic Nation.
		Lloyd took any conspicuous part in the discussion of the policy of abolishing the General Court, and the division of the State into judicial districts; but he is believed to have voted for the Act of Assembly of 1804 which accomplished their results, and established that system which virtually exists to the present day.
		Lloyd was not one of those stationary or retrogressive farmers who saw in the negro a machine capable of perfornaing all that was demanded in farm operation--not one who took as little note of the sensibilities of his slaves as if they were things of springs and wheels, cogs and levers.
