"In 1765, Banning unwittingly transported Zachariah Hood, the first and only stamp collector sent to Maryland after the passage of the Stamp Act, to Maryland aboard the Layton. Banning states that if he had known that Hood was to be the collector of the new tax he would not have brought him to America. He further remarks the that Stamp Act ?first paved the way to a civil war ? revolution ? and ultimately the loss of the 13 of [Great Britain?s] principle providences in North America.? Banning concluded his maritime career in 1772 and retired to his plantation, The Isthmus, in Talbot County. "Banning was "widely known for his patriotism during the revolutionary war," according to the Baltimore Sun.27 He was elected a First Major on January 3, 1776, as part of a military force "for the protection of the Province." He was later promoted to the rank of Colonel. By the time of the Revolution, which Banning viewed as a civil war, he had seen Oxford decline from a vibrant seaport to a "poor, forlorn and deserted town." In 1787, the governor appointed Banning the armorer of the Eastern Shore. That year or the next, Banning was also elected as one of the four representatives from Talbot County at the ratification of the Constitution. However, he did not attend the convention. He began serving as a judge for the Orphan's Court in 1789 "George Washington appointed Jeremiah Banning as Oxford's first custom?s official on the 21st of March, 1791. Banning operated from the Isthmus, where he built the Oxford District Customs House. Banning was "very intimate with Washington, and was elected to represent Talbot County in the Ratification of the 'Federal Government of the United States.'" - Md State Archives.
