®1 William Henry Deane never actually settled in Maryland. He investigated the possibility of building ships somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay where timber was cheap, but the cost of transporting metals and ship's fittings, together with a scarity of skilled craftsmen caused him to discard that idea. He also investigated the possibility of establishing trading posts at settlements on both sides of the bay and with Indian tribes, but after several voyages to and from England he decided that the risks involved were too great for the profits derived. He was at St. MAry's off and on for several years and then at Fox Creek in Dorchester County for a short time but returned to Dorset, England. His wife Elizabeth never came to America. He and his wife are buried near Dorchester in Dorset. ®1
