Stephen Goffe arrived in Maryland with a letter written Nov. 12, 1673 on his behalf by Cecilius, Lord Baltimore. Governor Charles Calvert reported back that he entertained Goffe at his own home and would lodge him with 'an honest man' near Zachaiah 'that he may be neare me, and withal I have given him advise and particular Cautions as I thought fit', and promised to follow up with particular accounts relating to him. In 1675 Goffe married Mary, widow of Dijon-native John Jarboe (1619-1674), who was a daughter of recusant Lawrence Tattershall, gentleman, of Odstock in Wiltshire, England. In addition to his dwelling plantation called 'Saint Bernards' comprised of 500 acres, Goffe also owned 100 acres called 'Raccoon Point' and had a lease in Beaverdam Manor. He remained a Roman Catholic until his death in 1700, and made a bequest to the priest Nicholas Guelick. The inventory of his estate mentions his coat of arms and also his library comprised of books in English, French, and Latin.
