He then studied law, and was admitted to the bar

practice. He held several local offices, was elected
to the Maryland senate in 1881, and in 1885 be-
came president of that body. On the appointment
of Gov. Robert M. McLane to the French mission,
in March of that year, Mr. Lloyd became ex-officio
governor of the state, and in January, 1886, he
was chosen by the legislature to fill the unexpired
term, ending in 1888.

grandfather, James, came from Somersetshire,
England, about 1670. The grandson studied medi-
cine at Stratford, Conn., at Boston, and in London
for two years, and, on his return to Boston in 1752,
obtained an extensive practice. He was for some
time a surgeon at Castle William, and in 1764 was
a strenuous advocate for general inoculation. He
was a moderate Loyalist, and remained in Boston
while it was occupied by the British troops. In
1789 he went to England to obtain compensation
for losses that he had sustained during the Revolu-
tion ; but his application was refused unless he
should consent to declare himself a British sub-
ject, which he did not feel disposed to do. — His

d. in Pennsylvania, 10 Sept., 1694. He was gradu-
ated at Oxford in 1661, became a Quaker, and in
1664 was arrested and kept under surveillance till
1672, when Charles II. dispensed with the laws
that inflicted punishment for religious offences.
He became a physician and enjoyed a large prac-
tice; but in 1683 he and his family came to this
country with William Penn, who made him master
of the rolls on 27 Dec He was chosen to the pro-
vincial council in January, 1684, and as its presi-
dent administered the government, after Penn
sailed for England in August, till 9 Dec, 1687,
when he was one of an executive commission of
five that held power for ten months. He was
again elected to the council in 1689, and took his
seat in spite of the opposition of the governor,
John Blackwell, with whom he and others of the
Quaker party had a controversy. Blackwell was
removed from office by Penn, and Lloyd was again
chosen president of the council and afterward com-
missioned lieutenant-governor by Penn, holding
office in 1690-3. During his administration the
schism headed by George Keith (q. v.) took place.

and Wife," dated 1682 (1805).
LOAYZA, or LOAYSA, Jeronimo de (lo-i'-sah),
Spanish- American bishop, b. in Truxillo, Spain,
about 1500; d. in Lima. Peru, in 1575. He be-
longed to one of the noblest families in Spain,
and at an early age entered the College of Saint
Paul of Cordova, where he joined the Dominican
order, and went to the College of St. Gregory in
Valladolid to finish his studies. He embarked for
America in 1526. Carthagena was assigned him
as a field of missionary labor, and he devoted
himself zealously to the conversion of the natives,
and, notwithstanding the extreme heat of the cli-
mate and dangers of every kind, he visited the
barbarous tribes along the coast, converting many
of them to Christianity. After five years he re-
turned to Spain to defend the Indians and de-
nounce the conduct of their conquerors, who, in
contempt of the repeated orders of the emperor,
persisted in enslaving the natives. In 1537 he was
nominated bishop of Carthagena. As a condition
of acceptance he desired that Charles V. should
display more energy in the protection of the Indi-
ans, build a cathedral and a Dominican convent
in Carthagena, and send out six missionaries of
the order even' year to his diocese; and all of
these petitions "were granted. He then gathered a
colony of priests and monks from the Dominican and other communities and distributed them through every part of his immense diocese. He began his cathedral in 1538, and was engaged in founding a school in Carthagena, after the model of the propaganda in Rome, for the education of the children of the caciques and principal Indians, when he received letters from Charles V. announcing his translation to the see of Lima, which was created in 1540. He reached Lima in 1543, and (hiring the insurrection of Gonzalo Pizarro offered his services to the viceroy, Blasco Nunez de Vela, and consented to visit Pizarro in Cuzco with the view of obtaining his submission. Although he was at first received with distrust by the rebels, many of them were finally convinced by his arguments and spoke of going to Lima to make their submission, when the auditors, irritated by the obstinacy of the viceroy, opened the gates of Lima to Pizarro. Loayza was prominent in the events that followed, and after the defeat of Pizarro prevented the victors from coming to blows over the spoils. Meanwhile the see of Lima had been erected into an archbishopric, and he received the pallium and the bull by which he was named archbishop of that city. As soon as peace was re-established he summoned a provincial council in 1552, in which he defined the path to follow for the instruction of the Indians, and
