I believe the rest of the group will join me in suggesting that you do
NOT let confusion disuade you from contributing what you have on the
CALVERTS. If lack of confusion about some of the CALVERT lines was the
criteria, we would have very big nul on the net. As to your question,
there are some real experts out there on the LEONARD line and this may
bring them out to help you verify your descendency from LEONARD if you
are interested. I did some original research a few years ago and can
tell you that IMHO Benedict Swingate did NOT descend from LEONARD and
actually sired a truly separate line. The problem with the "Charles" is
that Maryland had two or three Charles as Governor.
The first one was a descendent of LEONARD or closely related, an uncle or
cousin or something, I am sure the LEONARD folks have it in mind.
The other two Governor Charles were one and the same or I believe
immediate succesors of the other as Governor and at last notice, none of
us know where the heck he/they came from. This is a question for all.
Only one of the lines I listed of which I am in doubt "confused" is my
friend the Mariner. He just seems to have been in Virginia then wasn't.
Good luck,
Galen Calvert

It appears some messages have bounced back by using the wrong address for

It appears that some have been putting an extra hyphen between the "L"

I hope this will help if it has not been corrected yet.

To whom it may concern.
My wife is a decendant of the maryland calverts.
While researching in the Maryland archives i had the priviledge to talk to
the curater of the archive about the calverts of maryland and especially the
problem of
Leanord Calvert and Anne Brent.
IN this conversation it was brought up that the two children of leanord
calvert where
Illigitemate. We know that the legends of old maryland state that anne Brent
was the mother of these two children, it is my personal appinion that Anne
Brent was indeed the mother of these two children but that they where
illegitamate children of hers, and leanords. we know that she was married as
a old maid. all of this fits.

Calvert group
Have received all the latest news. I did get the Quaker book, which is
interesting. Lots of the names in there correspond to the MD/VA/KY
Rawlings group.
Just got back from So. CA. and we ate leaving for Alaska soon. So I am at
sixes and sevens trying to get organized. I will try to check on
questions when I get back.
Did find two Keziahs. One is d/o Obed Calvert (Obed, Geo., Geo., Wm.,
Leonard) and Catherine-----, b. 1769. No further info. on her. Keziah
Calvert d/o Elijah (Geo. or Reuben, Geo., Geo., Wm., Leonard) &
Charity-----. Keziah m. Wm. Curry and there is more info. on her. If
needed, let me know, and I'll try to send it after we return.

Hi Calvert Cousins,
This is my first post to this group.
I have long been at a dead end with my 4th great grandmother, Jane Calvert.
She was born July 22, 1784 in Ireland, and married James Jones Hill on
February 2, 1809 in Maury County, Tennessee. She died in Bibb County,
Alabama on October 30, 1850. I have nothing on her parents or other family.
I don't know anything about her religion, but the Hills were strong
Methodists and I know that her family was Methodist after their marriage.
James Jones Hill had been widowed prior to his marriage to Jane. His first
wife was Martha Jeffreys. They had at least one child, Charles Henry Hill.
Known children of James and Jane were.
1. James Hill born May 1, 1815 in Bibb County, Alabama, married 1833 to
Nancy McMath, and died December 5, 1886 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
2. Robert "Bob" Hill born about 1816.
3. Ginsey Hill born about 1817, married to Grief Ragsdale, and both died
soon after in a train wreck in Texas.
4. Louiza Hill born October 31, 1819 in Bibb County, Alabama, married
October 12, 1837 in Bibb County, Alabama to Robert Oldham, and died July 3,
1880 in Shelby County, Alabama.
Does Jane connect with anyone out there? Or do you have any ideas about what
to try next?
Thanks, Alicia Deats

Hello,
I'm in need of assistance in tracking down information on a Calvert line that
appears (and unfortunately, ends, rather quickly) in my genealogy.
The information I have thus far..
Rachel Calvert
b. abt 1760 , , VA
d. 1832 , Sevier Co, TN
She is buried in Sevierville, Sevier, TN
She married
1 Dec 1778 in ,,VA
James Wellington McMahan
b. 1750 Dublin, Ireland
d. 1831 , Sevier Co, TN
Family rumor, for what they're worth, states that she had a sister named Jane.
Jane allegedly married a CANBURY.
Rachel's father, according to more unreliable sources, was Robert Calvert.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam McCarter

George,
Your comments are absolutely fascinating, and I thank you very much. Perhaps
someone can search the Pennsylvania records for grants made by Penn - or
maybe someone knows of a publication of that information - how about it,
group?
Greg
------------------------------
Greg, Galen, and Calvert Study Group,
Greg, your message about the Cortland County
Calverts is fascinating. John Calvert, who
arrived in Northern Ireland in 1617, was 8 years
ahead Lord Baltimore who received his Irish lands
and title in 1624.
Both John Calvert and George Calvert (Lord
Baltimore) were beneficiaries of James I (King of
England 1603 -1624). Thanks to my nifty
Encarta(R) 96 Encyclopedia, we have the following
description of political circumstances in Ireland
when John and George arrived:
"During the reign of James I English law was
pronounced the sole law of the land. No longer
able to act independently, the earl of Tyrone and
Rory O'Donnell, 1st earl of Tyrconnel, with some
100 other chieftains, fled in 1607 to Rome. The
land in six counties of northern Ulster was
confiscated. The last vestiges of the independence
of the Irish Parliament were destroyed by the
creation of 40 boroughs out of small hamlets, a
political maneuver that secured a permanent
majority to the English crown." (Obviously, John
and George received lands that had been taken
from the Irish.)
Thomas Calvert's conversion to Quakerism may have
been from personal contact with William Penn, who
oversaw his father's estates in county Cork in
1666. In any event the Quakers were being
persecuted by the Church of England and there was
good reason to move to America. (William Penn
spent quite a bit of time in prison.)
"In 1681 Penn obtained from the Crown, in payment
for a debt owed to his father, a grant of
territory in North America. With several friends,
he sailed for America in September 1682, and in
October he held his famous interview with the
Native American tribes. He planned and named the
city of Philadelphia, and for two years he
governed the colony wisely and well."
From your message Greg, we have "John Calvert,
No. 1 above, settled with his family about 1683 in
Pennsylvania on land granted by William Penn
March 13, 1683."
I think there is doubt about this, John Calvert
was among the first settlers of Pennsylvania.
William Penn set sail in September 1682 and
6 months later John Calvert arrived in March 1683.
It is uncanny that both Lord Baltimore and John
Calvert, the Quaker, both came from Ireland to America
seeking religious tolerance. Before this they had
gone to Ireland from England seeking lands and
fortune.
A question we may ask, "How many people
today have strong enough convictions (religious
or otherwise) that they would abandon their homes
and lifestyles and move to another country with
an uncertain future?" Both John and George
Calvert could have easily remained members of the
Church of England. They chose not to.

Dear Greg and Calvert Study Group,
The mistake seems to be mine in not knowing the background of the Quaker
Calverts who I believe contributed to the famous Chenoweth line. Your
information is great and I am not sure completely known to the Chrnoweth
researchers. I'll print out your stuff and check with Chenoweth contact.
This does make at least six lines of Calverts, some much better
documented and possily surviving with greater numbers of known
descendents than others. For any newbies out there, let me take a crack
at a brief index description and I will appreciate it if George, Greg,
Barbara, Vicki or anyone seeing it differently or with more branches,
will get their contributions in.
BRANCHES Briefly:
1. 1632 Maryland, Leonard, George, L.B. I, line. Alive well and famous
with many current same and other named shoots knowing of each other and
all over the U.S.
2. 1740s Maryland, Benedict Swingate, Charles, L.B V line, primarily
concentrated in Maryland into twentieth century, possibly western PA,
offshoot in 1795. Little known current interest in web type geneology
except possibly Dan, Barbara??
3. "Mariner Calvert" of 17th century Southern Va., obscure and died
out unless he connects to "Cornelius" of about the same time.
4. Quaker Calverts, to Eastern PA in early 17th century, alive and
well with Greg, the Chenoweths, and others, Hambricks?? Descendents
active in web geneology studies.
5. Late 18th century Scotch Covenanter Calverts, becoming known now as
Cortland Co. (N.Y.), Calverts, some previously active through LDS and now
through web, but widely scattered, mostly with other surnames and NOT
very clannish or active on the web, except me.
6. Eighteenth century Governor Charles Calvert of Maryland, whose
ancestors and descendents, if any, are not known.
7. Calverts immigrated to Carolinas and GA/Alabama if direct and not
from lines above, probably number more than we or they know at
present.

Galen, George, and group;
My Calverts are as follows:
John Calvert (b. c. 1587/9, buried at Drumgorr, Ireland) arrived Northern
Ireland c. 1617, from Moorsham, Yorkshire, m. Grace ?, settled in Lurgan,
County Armagh, Ireland. Buried in Friends Burial Ground in Moyraverty.
son Thomas Calvert (1617 at Lygasory - Dec 17, 1685, in Pennsylvania), m. Nov
11, 1647, Jane Glassford, daughter of Hugh Glassford and wife Margaret of
Stranmillis, near Belfast, Ireland.
children of Thomas and Jane:
1. John Calvert (Oct 6, 1648, near Belfast - Sept 23, 1699, Penn) m. May 29,
1673, Judith Stamper (b. Sept 23, 1648, Stranmillis) daughter of Hugh Stamper
and Bridget of Lurgan, County Armagh.
2. Ann Calvert (c. Nov 1650, Killwarlin, near Hillsborough, County Down - Oct
16, 1697, Delaware. m. June 12, 1672, Valentine Hollingsworth (c. Aug 1632 -
1710/11, Delaware).
3. Margaret Calvert (June 4, 1661, at Killurigan, Parish of Sego, County
Armagh - Oct 1687) m. 1684, Thomas Hollingsworth (May 1, 1661 Ireland - Feb
2, 1727), son of Valentine Hollinsgworth and his first wife Ann Rea.
4. Elizabeth Calvert (June 26, 1664, County Armagh) m. Dec 23, 1701, at
Ballyhagen Meeting, Thomas Topper of Ballyhagen, County Armagh.
Thomas Calvert's will was proved at Philadelphia Dec 17, 1685.
John Calvert, No. 1 above, settled with his family about 1683 in Pennsylvania
on land granted by William Penn March 13, 1683. He and Judith had Ruth,
Isaac, Thomas, Joshua, Daniel, Mary (married John Chenoweth), Judith, and
John (married Jane McMahan). I am descended from both Mary and John.
All of this comes from "The History of The Calverts Who Were Quakers" by J.
Richard Buckey. He speculates that John Calvert (1587/9) is probably the son
of Leonard Calvert (ca 1550), who married Alicia Crossland. He would be
either a brother or a first cousin of George Calvert, 1st Lord Baltimore. It
is quite well researched, and where speculations are made they are identified
as such.
Hope this helps with the confusion and doesn't add to it.

Cousins, I am leaving in the morning to go to Austin and from there fly to
Ky. I will be gone until the 8th of July. The day after my 54th Birthday!!!
I plan to go to Nelson co. with Steve Calvert, who is a cousin to George
and I, where we will meet George and any other Calvert we can scare up.
While I was packing I found a copy of a book that I didn't even know I had.
If Galen will send me his snail mail address I will send it to him. It is
by,
Dr. John B. Calvert, 1914
C. Crossman Calvert, 1960.
The name is, Genealogy of the Calvert Family Cortland, New York, Branch.
I'll have to wait to send it when I return, if you think you wait that
long. <g>

Dear Galen and Study Group,
Your first message mentions, "Following is
descendancy of son and grandson of two John
Calverts immigrated from County Armagh, Ireland
in 1792."
I didn't know the first thing Armagh, so
after a little investigation I found this article
which may interest the study group:
"Armagh (town) southern Northern Ireland,
administrative center of Armagh District.
It is the seat of archbishops of the Roman
Catholic church and the Protestant Church of
Ireland, and it has two cathedrals. In the town
are a museum and the famous Armagh Astronomy
Center, which has a planetarium and an observatory
(1790). In the 5th century AD St. Patrick founded
a church here on the site of a fort, Ard Macha,
thus marking the community's emergence as the
ecclesiastical capital of Ireland. Population,
Armagh District, (1982 estimate) 47,500."
One thing about Calvert ancestors was that they
always seemed to have some type of involvement
with religion. The reason for the two John
Calverts (father and son) emigration to America
may have been much the same as that of Lord
Baltimore. Namely, they were being oppressed by
the Church of England, as explained by the
following:
"The American Revolution awakened much sympathy in
Ulster, especially among the Presbyterians, who,
being disqualified from holding office, desired a
general emancipation including that of the Roman
Catholics. In 1778 the Irish Parliament passed the
Relief Act, removing some of the most oppressive
disabilities. Meanwhile the Irish Protestants,
under the pretext of defending the country from
the French, who had entered into an alliance with
the Americans, had formed military associations of
volunteers, with 80,000 members. Backed by this
force they demanded legislative independence for
Ireland, and on motion of the British statesman
and orator Charles James Fox the British
Parliament repealed the Poynings Law and much of
the anti-Catholic legislation. The Irish
Parliament, however, was composed entirely of the
Protestants of the established church, who were
unwilling to extend the suffrage to Roman
Catholics."

Christi, et al,
You are only the second CALVERT replying to my various submissions to the
group, likely related to the CALVERT line from JOHN from IRL. Thanks.
My M. Belle Calvert, born Dec. 6, 1879 is shown as marrying for the
third time and to a J. M. Waldron on Sept. 6, 1958. That would make her
marrying just short of her 79th birthday. My records are from 1914
revised in 1960. It seems possible that your Great-Aunt Marge Belle
Calvert was a daughter of my M. Belle CAlvert in which case her maiden
name should have been KANE from mine's first marriage to John P. Kane
which lasted until 1937. Was your paternal grandfather a Kane?
Your M. Belle Calvert would have had to marry back into the CALVERT
family to be a CALVERT.
If your M. Belle Calvert was born a Calvert in 1924 she was likely named
after her own" Aunt M. Belle". She and your paternal grandfather, if a
CALVERT, were likely descended from same father or grandfather as
my M. Belle. I just found this when trying to exit out so still have
to go now but it is the original longer explanation to a point, anyway.
