AHC: Proprietary Government after American Independence

Obviously this is a bit of a challenging one, to say the least.

In the colonial period, several of the Thirteen Colonies were owned by various courtiers and their descendants at various times, with these individuals being ultimately responsible for their governance.

I'm only aware of three colonies being under this type of jurisdiction in 1776: Pennsylvania and Delaware, which were owned by the Penn family, and Maryland, which was owned by Henry Harford, an illegitimate son of the last Calvert Lord Baltimore. Members of both of these families served as Governors over the years, although the Calverts in particular hardly ever visited Maryland. Additionally, there was also the Granville District, comprising the northern half of North Carolina, which was a remnant of the proprietary system of government in the Carolinas, but did not confer on Lord Granville anything more than property rights.

Now, what with all the Republican principles flying about on the Revolutionary side, it would be distinctly unlikely that the Penns or Harford would see a continuation of their rule. But on the other hand, the Penns received some rather generous compensation for the seizure of their lands after the war was over, so there was evidently at least a little bit of public sympathy.

So is there any way that these families could maintain a formal governing role after the Revolution - either within the USA, or in an independent Pennsylvania or something?

I see two variants that could work, both with Maryland:

A) Bit evasive, but get Governor Robert Eden to ultimately join the Revolutionary side - (This is a bit difficult but not impossible - Eden was well liked, far from an ultra-loyalist, and one pre-war colonial governor did defect). Eden was already trying to claim part of the Calvert estate through his wife, the legitimate daughter of the last Lord Baltimore. If Eden ends up a popular governor who shepherded Maryland through the war, some sort of 'inheritance' of the Calvert claim to cement his leadership seems at least hypothetically possible.

B) Same thing but just have Cecilia Calvert (or her sister Louisa) marry someone else who actually joined the Revolution - Thomas Stone, for example (or maybe the Carrolls but that seems a bit dubious) - they assert the claim, Henry Harford gets shafted, etc. etc. [This one doesn't have literally Anthony Eden as third son of The Governor t h o u g h ]
