Pye in Barnes, Robert. MORE ON EDWARD PYE, in The Archivist's Bulldog Vol. 11 No. 17, Newsletter of the Maryland State Archives, September 22, 1997. link

The "Unusual Inventory" described by Pat Meville in the last issue of the Bulldog, belonged to Edward Pye, who arrived in Maryland by 1682, held a number of offices, and died in 1696. In order to place him in his proper familial and social setting, the following information was garnered from my forthcoming book on British Roots of Maryland Families. Basic information on the Pye family was taken from "Memorials of the Family of Pye," The Herald and Genealogist, 5:130-133. This pedigree is "from the Visitation of Herefordshire, 1569, and is continued from wills, monumental inscriptions, parish registers, and other sources."

The Pyes were an armigerous family of Herefordshire, England. Their estate was called The Mynde. In heraldic terms, their arms were described as: Ermine (white with black spots), a bend lozengy (a diagonal strip of diamonds) Gules (red); Crest: on a wreath, a cross-crosslet fitchee gules between two wings erect argent white or silver).

Edward Pye's father, John Pye, son of Sir Walter and Joane (Rudhall) Pye, was baptized on 17 Dec 1620. He married Blanche, sister of Sir Henry Lingen of Stoke Edith. John and Blanche were the parents of "twenty-three children, and Blanche was 30 before she was married." One of these twenty-three was Edward.

Edward Pye, son of John, came to Maryland in 1682 and died in 1696. He married Anne, widow of Benjamin Rozer, daughter of Henry and Jane (Lowe) Sewall, sister of Nicholas Sewell. Pye was the step-son-in-law of Charles Calvert, 3rd Lord Baltimore, and Anne was the sister-in-law of Philip Calvert. Edward Pye was a member of the Upper House and Governor's Council, a member of the Board of Deputy Governors, and a colonel in the army. At his death, his personal property was valued at £1,200.0.0.
