Charles, Dr. Louis Green Carr did extensive research on 17 and 18 th Century Maryland. The following Provincial Court Records should be of benefit to you: Archives X, page 354-55, Provincial Court April 3, 1654. Quote: Whereas I am given to understand that Luke Gardiner does in an uncivil, refractory, and insolent manner detained at his house Elinor Hatton, a young girl daughter to the wife of Lt. Richard Banks and niece to Mr. Thomas Hatton, endeavoring (as is provably suspected) to train her up in the Roman Catholic faith contrary to the mind and will of her mother and uncle, who have often demanded her of Gardiner, who refuses to return her; these are therefore in the lord prop's name to authorise and require said Lt. Bancks, commander of Newtowne Hundred, either by himself or together with such other of the inhabitants of this prov. whom he shall require for assistance, by force of arms or otherwise as he shall see, to seize upon the person of Elinor Hatton and to bring her before me and the council at Saint Mary's to be disposed of as shall be fit. In case of her concealment, Bancks is authorized to search the house of Gardiner or any other who he Bancks shall suspect she might be hidden, as also to arrest Gardiner and bring him before me and the council to answer such charges as Mr. Hatton shall object, either in his own behalf or as Atty.

So you see that it was not Luke's wife that was released to Thomas Hatton but his niece Elinor Hatton. There are some 350 single pages of factual notes that Dr. Carr has compiled just on the Gardiner's.

Late in life ELEANOR and Col. Henry Darnali moved to Annapolis, Maryland and lived at "Portla nd Manor." Both died in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. They were buried in the cemetery plo t at "His Lordship's Kindness." The tombstone of Col. Henry Darnall reads, "Hereby is interre d the body of Col, Henry Darnall, son of Philip Darnall, Esq., who departed this life ye 17l h day of June in the yr. Of Our Lord 1711, in ye 66th yr. Of his age." In his will Col. Henry Darnall, calling himself "Agent of the Right Honorable Lord Baltimore, " left his wife the dwelling plantation, and a third of his personalty during her life (Wil l 13:223). He named his sons-in-law Charles Carroll, Clement Hill, Edward Digges, and CLEMENT BROOKE. His son fro m his first marriage, Philip Darnall, received part of the plantation "Portland Manor" wher e the dwelling house stood. He also named Philip, Henry, and Eleanor, the children of his so n Philip. His son HENRY DARNALL received tracts numbering 17,687 acres, including the 7,000 a cres of "His Lordship's Kindness." He named his grandchildren SARAH DARNALL and JOHN DARNALL , the second son of his son "HARRY" (HENRY). He named his daughters MARY CARROLL and ANN HILL . One inventory of the estate of Co!. Henry Darnall in Anne Arundel was valued at £3,505.03.0 3 and mention was made of MADAM DARNALL - ELEANOR HATTON BROOKE DARNALL.
Eleanor was the niece of Thomas Hatton the Secretary of Maryland, who was slain at the battle of the Severn in 1655, and daughter of Richard and Margaret Hatton. She emigrated to St. Mary's County in 1649 with her widowed mother Margaret and brothers William and Richard and sisters Mary, Elizabeth and Barbara.
When she was about twelve in 1654, Luke Gardiner was charged with enticing her to his house "to train her up in the Roman Catholic religion", which was deemed "a great affront to the government, and of very dangerous and destructive consequences in relations to the peace and welfare of the province." Elinor did later convert to Catholicism, and Gardiner's son Luke married her younger sister, Elizabeth. Three of Eleanor's son's became Jesuit Priests; Robert, Ignatius and Matthew.
Eleanor married first, Thomas Brooke, son of Robert Brooke and his first wife Mary Baker in 1660. She married second, Henry Darnall.
Eleanors's will was dated March 31, 1724 and probated February 21, 1725. Her bequests to her children were unequal, and some of her children were omitted from her will, possibly indicating favoritism or the possibility of previous gifts. She bequeathed £10 each to her son Thomas Brooke and her daughter Mary Witham. Her daughter Elinor Diggs received £100 and Elinor's sons Henry and Philip Darnall Diggs received £50, being the debt due them from their father (Elinor's son-in-law) William Diggs. Her son Clement's debt of £460 due to John Hyde & Co., merchants of London, was to be paid before dividing the estate. She gave £25 to Rev. George Thorold (1670-1742), who had been the Catholic priest at St. Francis Xavier in Newton, St. Mary's Co. from 1723. She also gave £10 to the poor. The residue of her estate was to be divided between Edward Diggs, and her step-children Mary Carroll, Ann Hill, and Henry Darnall. Henry was named executor.

Luke Gardiner and Elizabeth Hatton
Charles, Dr. Louis Green Carr did extensive research on 17 and 18 th Century Maryland. The following Provincial Court Records should be of benefit to you: Archives X, page 354-55, Provincial Court April 3, 1654. Quote: Whereas I am given to understand that Luke Gardiner does in an uncivil, refractory, and insolent manner detained at his house Elinor Hatton, a young girl daughter to the wife of Lt. Richard Banks and niece to Mr. Thomas Hatton, endeavoring (as is provably suspected) to train her up in the Roman Catholic faith contrary to the mind and will of her mother and uncle, who have often demanded her of Gardiner, who refuses to return her; these are therefore in the lord prop's name to authorise and require said Lt. Bancks, commander of Newtowne Hundred, either by himself or together with such other of the inhabitants of this prov. whom he shall require for assistance, by force of arms or otherwise as he shall see, to seize upon the person of Elinor Hatton and to bring her before me and the council at Saint Mary's to be disposed of as shall be fit. In case of her concealment, Bancks is authorized to search the house of Gardiner or any other who he Bancks shall suspect she might be hidden, as also to arrest Gardiner and bring him before me and the council to answer such charges as Mr. Hatton shall object, either in his own behalf or as Atty. Gen.

Archives X p. 356, Provincial Court April 10 1654: Quote: Hr Thomas Hatton, his lops (Lordship), Sec. and Atty. Gen., on his Lops. behalf and on his own behalf, this day declared agst (agonist) Luke Gardiner for containing Elinor Hatton his niece ( a girl of about XX years old ) from the sd (said) Thomas Hatton and the girl's mother, and trying to train her in the Roman Catholic religion. Gardiner appearing in this suit on a special warrant from the Gov and both parties being heard at large re. the matter of the court for the present pronounced no other order therin, only that Elinor Hatton (who was present in court) should be returned and left to the disposition of her said uncle. UNQUOTE.
So you see that it was not Luke's wife that was released to Thomas Hatton but his niece Elinor Hatton. There are some 350 single pages of factual notes that Dr. Carr has compiled just on the Gardiner's.

Late in life ELEANOR and Col. Henry Darnali moved to Annapolis, Maryland and lived at "Portla nd Manor." Both died in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. They were buried in the cemetery plo t at "His Lordship's Kindness." The tombstone of Col. Henry Darnall reads, "Hereby is interre d the body of Col, Henry Darnall, son of Philip Darnall, Esq., who departed this life ye 17l h day of June in the yr. Of Our Lord 1711, in ye 66th yr. Of his age." In his will Col. Henry Darnall, calling himself "Agent of the Right Honorable Lord Baltimore, " left his wife the dwelling plantation, and a third of his personalty during her life (Wil l 13:223). He named his sons-in-law Charles Carroll, Clement Hill, Edward Digges, and CLEMENT BROOKE. His son fro m his first marriage, Philip Darnall, received part of the plantation "Portland Manor" wher e the dwelling house stood. He also named Philip, Henry, and Eleanor, the children of his so n Philip. His son HENRY DARNALL received tracts numbering 17,687 acres, including the 7,000 a cres of "His Lordship's Kindness." He named his grandchildren SARAH DARNALL and JOHN DARNALL , the second son of his son "HARRY" (HENRY). He named his daughters MARY CARROLL and ANN HILL . One inventory of the estate of Co!. Henry Darnall in Anne Arundel was valued at £3,505.03.0 3 and mention was made of MADAM DARNALL - ELEANOR HATTON BROOKE DARNALL.
Eleanor was the niece of Thomas Hatton the Secretary of Maryland, who was slain at the battle of the Severn in 1655, and daughter of Richard and Margaret Hatton. She emigrated to St. Mary's County in 1649 with her widowed mother Margaret and brothers William and Richard and sisters Mary, Elizabeth and Barbara.
When she was about twelve in 1654, Luke Gardiner was charged with enticing her to his house "to train her up in the Roman Catholic religion", which was deemed "a great affront to the government, and of very dangerous and destructive consequences in relations to the peace and welfare of the province." Elinor did later convert to Catholicism, and Gardiner's son Luke married her younger sister, Elizabeth. Three of Eleanor's son's became Jesuit Priests; Robert, Ignatius and Matthew.
Eleanor married first, Thomas Brooke, son of Robert Brooke and his first wife Mary Baker in 1660. She married second, Henry Darnall.
Eleanors's will was dated March 31, 1724 and probated February 21, 1725. Her bequests to her children were unequal, and some of her children were omitted from her will, possibly indicating favoritism or the possibility of previous gifts. She bequeathed £10 each to her son Thomas Brooke and her daughter Mary Witham. Her daughter Elinor Diggs received £100 and Elinor's sons Henry and Philip Darnall Diggs received £50, being the debt due them from their father (Elinor's son-in-law) William Diggs. Her son Clement's debt of £460 due to John Hyde & Co., merchants of London, was to be paid before dividing the estate. She gave £25 to Rev. George Thorold (1670-1742), who had been the Catholic priest at St. Francis Xavier in Newton, St. Mary's Co. from 1723. She also gave £10 to the poor. The residue of her estate was to be divided between Edward Diggs, and her step-children Mary Carroll, Ann Hill, and Henry Darnall. Henry was named executor.
