All I know (I think) about the Peter LITTIG who married Elizabeth CALVERT is that he died before 16 May 1763 in Baltimore, MD & was the owner of Fel's Pt, Baltimore, MD ca1783?. Elizabeth supposedly was born in England to Lord CC CALVERT & Katherine LITTEN & died after 1763. I think they had 6 children: Peter II, Cecil, Albert, William, Yost (m.Sarah MONTAGUE), & Phillip (m.Lena BERNHART). Cecil & Albert were supposedly lost at sea.

Is this the same Peter Littig born on August 20, 1794 in Lorraine?
I went to the Virginia Library and after trying many many times, I found a
document with some Calvert signatures. They are: Obed Sr. & Obed, Jr.;
Rolly, William and Jesse. This a request from the Baptist Church, wanting to
be able to pay their pastors.
If anyone wants to see, or copy it, the URL is:

Calvert kin, I received the book "The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate."
by Harry Wright Newman
I haven't had time to actually read the 350 pages, but just flipping through
it, I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Calvert family.
It will be a very informative read. I got it from Amazon.com. Vicki K
Pat,
I found an Enoch Calvert in Preston County on the tax lists along with my
Washington White (who is the son of Mary Calvert White) and I am wondering
if he is an Uncle or Cousin of Washington White. Enoch was listed from 1821
to at least until 1835 when I stopped looking, as Washington had already
left for Greene Co PA. Two other family members were also listed, William
and James Strahan, in-laws of Washington White. So I think I may be on the
right track. So I am tyring to find who Enoch Calvert was now.

I DO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT INFO. ADDDS SOME MORE TO WHAT I HAD...I HAVE A NEW COMPUTER. MY OLD ONE CRASHED
SO BAD THERE WAS NO FIXING. I WAS OFF LINE FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 WEEKS AND WHEN I GOT BACK, THEY HAD CHANGED THE
MAIL, THE MESSAGE BOARDS MY AOL ADDRESS BOOK..IT WAS AND IS STILL A HORRIBLE MESS. I AM NOT ALL THAT EDUCATED IN THIS COMPUTER STUFF. TO GET THE PRICE I DID,
I TOOK COMPU-SERVE EMAIL AS WELL AS AOL EMAIL. I DO NOT

SOME OF THESE THINGS TO GET TO GENEALOGY MESSAGE BOARDS
IS UNREAL - FOR A 2 FINGER TYPER AS ME.
George,
This is my line, but I'm relatively new at this so please excuse my dumb
question. Where might I find a copy of the Nicklin article you referred to?
For example, I had found some of his earlier ones in an anthology of some
sort (which I cited in my work, but I can't remember just now). I'm
fascinated by the whole Calvert Alias Harrison mystery.

Excuse me for intruding, I saw your post with the Frederick County, VA
connection.
I am also tracing Frederick Co VA Calverts. But I don't know much. I am
trying to find the parents of a Mary Calvert b. 1771 who married John
White. Mary had a brother Jesse Calvert b c. 1776, maybe Maryland. Do you
have any Frederick Co Calverts who have children of Mary and Jesse??

Hi Debbie,
Maybe if you can share some more information with us we might be able to
help. There aren't a lot of folks (that I know of) on the list that are
working on the non-US lines, but you never know. Things that might help are
full names, dates and places of those that you know (for instance, who was
Cornelia's husband, his birth and death dates, etc.). Also, it could be
that Cornelia remarried after her husband's death and that would account for
the apparently missing SSDI. If she died before 1962 she wouldn't
necessarily have had one. Anyway, perhaps with some other information...
You might also, if you haven't already, try searching

good evening ya all,
IM having a hard time, and wonder if anyone could give me some ideas, My
grandmother and her family, which were brothers and sisters and her Mom,
came over form England in 1909, They all moved to the Columbus area of Ohio,
where my ggrandfather passed a way in 1936. My ggrandmother lived with her
one daughter in Columbus, and died there, My great aunt age of 92, cant
remember when Cornelia died, Mom and dad remember she was alive when
they married in 1947, and they think she was still alive in 1952, I have
traced my Calverts back to my 3 rd grandfather adn mother in
Lancashire, so far, but having a hard time on my ggrandmother, Can
anyone give me any ideas of where to look, or who to write to... There is no
social security number for her, s o I guess she never became a citizen. I
have her information when they came through Ellis Island. and i have the
info on myggrandfathers death. so Cornelia Caroline Calvert is a
missing link for me,
Thank you for any ideas of where to look. Being legally blind, hard to get
to libraries cause cant get a drivers license, so i order what i can for
my own library, so would appreciate any info, where to look
thank you so much
Debbie
Pace, Fla.
Discovery of the deed dated 16 June 1731 recorded in
Prince William County stating "greetings know ye I
George Colverd and Constant my wife" changed Mr.
Nicklin's perspective. He couldn't change what was
already published in 1919 and 1934, however he did
correct it by stating that Constant Barton was probably
the wife of George Calvert, Sr in the 1949 article about
the missing Will Book. It was wrong to criticize Mr.
Nicklin for something he had corrected.
Use of the word "probably" indicates Mr. Nicklin had
some reasons to suspect the last name was Barton, but
he could not state this as a fact. This is not my line of
the family, and I will leave the investigation to others.
George Calvert, Sr.'s second wife was almost certainly
Esther (Kirkland) Stone. There is really no other logical
explanation for George and Esther Calvert being named
the Executors of Richard Kirkland's estate. Going beyond
this, there are other supporting documents such as
Edward Kirkland posting bond Esther after the death of
her first husband Francis Stone.
Richard and Mary Kirkland were the parents of Esther.
Richard was an emigrant from Scotland who first owned
property in Maryland (before 1708). His original Virginia
land grant was in Stafford County (1714). He had proven sons
named Robert Kirkland, Richard Snowden Kirkland., John
Kirkland, Edward Kirkland and William Kirkland. The names of
his daughters and some of the sons were not listed in his will.
The maiden name of Mary, Richard's wife, is supposedly
Snowden. The only supporting evidence that I am aware of is
that the son was named Richard Snowden Kirkland, and the
name Richard Snowden Kirkland was passed on down the line
to son's descendants. (A lot of Richard Snowden Kirklands
can be found in the late 1700's in South Carolina, which is
where the Kirklands moved in the 1750's.)
I have no proof of the following about Mary Snowden, which
was copied from an internet site. It sounds interesting, so it is
repeated below.
Mary may have been the daughter of Richard Snowden , Sr.,
born about 1640, Birmingham, England, died 20 MAY 1711.
Married first Deborah about 1661. They had two children, one
being Richard Snowden, Jr. The name of the second child is
not given, perhaps Mary? Richard married second Elizabeth
Gross about 1670.
Richard Snowden lived on the South River in Anne Arundel
Co., Maryland. He was one of Cromwell's Officers (Major). His
parents were from Wales. Mount Snowden in Wales may be
related to the family name. (Had 2 children by his first wife.)
In closing, I went back an re-read the article by Nicklin about
the Missing Will Book of Stafford County. This article also
has some discussion about the Calverts alias Harrison
and it provides an index to all the wills between 1721 to
1730 for Stafford County. There are no Calverts listed in
the index, other than Calverts alias Harrison.

Cornwall or Barton or Green or Harrison. I have seen Constant referred to
by each of these names. Other than mention in Family Genealogies and on
various lists though, Barton appears to be the most stable. Here are my
notes:

Will Book "K" covered the period from 1721 to 1730 and is now among the
missing record books of this county. Anne Green married Edward Barton and
they had four daughters: Constant probably married George Calvert, Sr.,

With regard to Esther Kirkland Stone I have the following:
Ester was the widow of Francis Stone and perhaps the daughter of Richard
Kirkland. Richard Kirkland died in Fairfax Co., Va., leaving a will dated
Nov 17, 1742; proved May 19, 1743, which he mentions his wife Mary, his sons
Robert and John Kirkland, and "All my sons and daughters." His wife Mary
and George "Callburd" or "Calvert" as it was elsewhere spelled, were
Executors. In Prince William County, May 26, 1740, Bond for Esther Stone:
"Edward Barry and William Kirkland was given for Esther Stone.,
administratrix of the estate of Francis Stone.
April 27, 1741; Esther Calvert returned additional Inventory of the estate
of Francis Stone. On Oct 25, 1742 the accounting of the estate of Francis
Stone, deceased, was presented by Esther Colvert and allowed and admitted to
record.
