Hi Calvert researchers,
I am related to Anna E. CALVERT who married George W.
KIGER.
Only information I have is from their tombstone. Anna and her husband,
George are buried at the HIGGINS Cemetery in Wetzel County, West
Virginia.
I have that Anna was born in 1830 and she died in 1911.
George W. KIGER was born in 1820 and died in 1885.
I have no information about when or where Anna and George were married.
Anna is believed to be the second wife of George KIGER.
All I know about George's first wife is that her name was Frances. It is
most
likely her first name.
George is believed to be the son of James KIGER and Ella DONELSON.
The real big question is who are the parents of Anna E. CALVERT?
If anyone can answer this question or lead me in the right direction, it
would
be appreciated very much.
Thank you.
John W. Pegg

I have tried unsuccessfully to trace my calvert lineage. My g-g-grandmother was Sarah Calvert Burton . We were also told that we were in some way descendents of Pres. Monroe. I also had a distant cousin who had a middle name of Wroth. Your message has given me clues to work on. If you have any more information to share with me I would appreciate it.
thank you and happy holidays.
While I don't have this person in my files, the name caught my eye. My
grandfather was Marshall Stephen Calvert. His father was a Baptist
preacher. His name was James Harrison Calvert, b. November 4, 1857. This
may sound irrelevant but his parents were from White County, IL. James
Harrison Calvert returned to Illinois after the death of his mother (abt
1864) and grew up there. He was ordained to the ministry by the Pleasant
Hill Baptist Church near Dalgreen, Illinois Aug 5th, 1883.
The only time the name Marshall appears in our family is with my
grandfather. I wonder if there is some relationship. We descend from:
George Calvert, b. abt 1723, Prince William County, VA, d. 1802, Prince
William County, VA
Cynthia Calvert b. 1765, Prince William County, VA
Alexander Calvert b. April 27, 1783, Bedford County, VA, d. April 2,
1856, White County, IL
George Calvert b. August 14, 1813, Tennessee, d. May 8, 1864, Hamilton

James M Calvert b. 1836, White County, IL, d. 1912, Carmi, IL
James Harrison Calvert b. November 4, 1857, d. November 25, 1948, Iron

Hi - I don't suppose your Sarah E. Calvert had any brothers born in Alabama? I'm looking for a Sarah Elizabeth (Sally/Sallie) Calvert born in Polk Co TX in 1863 - her parents were both born in Alabama, this is all I know about them (census info). In 1879 in Waco TX, Sally married John Newton Hoffman (b. 1850 VA); they settled in Ft. Worth TX, where she died in 1945.
In my research, it seems people sometimes named children after siblings, in addition to parents, grandparents etc. (Okay, maybe it's a stretch, but this is a big brick wall for me!)

Subject: [LDR] Del-Md Boundary Dispute etal
I've seen several messages recently on the subject of the early status
of Delaware and specifically those parts of the state which were once
considered part of Maryland. The responses which discuss the status of
"the Three Lower Counties Upon Delaware" seem to indicate some confusion
as to Delaware's connection to Pennsylvania during the 18th Century. If
you don't mind the somewhat excessive length of this e-mail, I thought I
would straighten it out for those who might be interested.
As all good Delawareans know, the first point of European settlement in
what is now Delaware was the ill-fated Dutch West India Company whaling
settlement at Swaanendael (near present-day Lewes), which was
established briefly in 1631. It's settlers were massacred by local
Indians within a few months and the area wasn't resettled until some 25
years later, again by the Dutch. The later boundary disputes between
the Calvert family, the Lords Baltimore of Maryland, and the Penn
family, proprietors of Pennsylvania and Delaware, had their origin in
large part because various British monarchs, through ignorance of local
geography, appear to have granted the same lands twice. Their grant to
the Calverts which, if memory serves me, was made in 1632, would appear
to have included all or nearly all of present-day Delaware, but it
included some sort of legal boiler plate which noted that the areas
being granted were subject to change if it could be demonstrated that
some portion the! reof had earlier been settled by another European
power.
Some 50 years later, after a great deal of water had gone over the dam
in England, i.e., the beheading of Charles I, the Cromwellian
interregnum, the restoration, etc., etc., King Charles II granted to
William Penn the domains which later became Pennsylvania. This was said
to have been in lieu of the repayment of a debt owed by the Crown to
William Penn's late father, Admiral Sir William Penn (who figures
prominently in Samuel Pepys's diary). A short time thereafter, the
younger Penn, having had a chance to study the maps, realized that the
lands he had been granted were a considerable distance from the ocean.
Wanting to improve his position, he began lobbying for the grant of the
additional lands to the south, down to the ocean, which were then held
by the King's brother, James, Duke of York, by virtue of military
conquest.
This area, which became the three lower counties, had also gone through
a number of changes during the half century since the original
Swaanendael settlement. In 1638, the Swedes had established colonies on
the upper Delaware, including one at the site of present-day Wilmington.
In the late 1650s, the Dutch had largely displaced the Swedes in the
north and had resettled the area at the mouth of the Delaware, which
became known at the Hoernkil, or "The Whorekills." They also
established a larger administrative center (Fort Oplandt) at present-day
New Castle.
In 1664, the British, under the Duke of York (the future King James II),
went to war with the Dutch and were able to win control of the Dutch
domains in America, including New Amsterdam (which was renamed New York
in the Duke's honor) and those along the Delaware. This state of
affairs remained in place for most of the time until Penn took over in
1681, except that the Dutch were able to regain control of the Delaware
for a period of about a year in the early 1670s before the English got
it back again. What had been two large administrative districts along
the Delaware Bay under the Dutch became three counties under the Duke of
York, New Castle, Jones (later Kent) and Deale (later Sussex).
While all this was going on, the Lords Baltimore were hard at work in
the settlement of Maryland. The Calverts were not happy about the
prospect of ceding control of the western side of Delaware Bay to the
Dutch or anyone else, and they sent expeditions of raiders to the
village known as Hoernkil (Lewes) several times in the 1660s and 1670s.
At the same time their boundary with Eastern Shore Virginia was also
subject to considerable uncertainly and the Calverts were clearly
worried about holding onto their lands on the lower Eastern Shore of
Maryland. They sought to encourage as much settlement in the area as
possible in order to strengthen their claim. After the Delaware area
was taken over by the Duke of York, their legal position was greatly
weakened for obvious reasons. Surprisingly, one of their incursions
against the future Lewes occurred during the period when the Duke was in
nominal control, which did not help their cause.
Eventually, William Penn was able to get control of the Three Lower
Counties as well as Pennsylvania, although he was not given the same
type of outright title to this area that he had to Pennsylvania. It was
more a kind of protectorate status, though Penn was very clearly in
possession of full authority to govern the new area. Thus, there was
always a kind of legal difference in the status of the two parts of
Penn's domains.
Penn gave Kent and Sussex and the town of Lewes their present names.
For a period of about 23 years the Three Lower Counties shared a common
Assembly with Pennsylvania--the upper counties. But there were
potential differences between the two areas from the very beginning. In
the first place, the lower counties were subject to frequent attack by
pirates along the ocean and bay coasts. The peace-loving Quakers who
were in control were loathe to spend money on raising a military force
to combat these threats, much to the consternation of the Delawareans.
Secondly, it was very clear that as the Pennsylvania domains were vast
compared to the Three Lower Counties, as settlement progressed in
Pennsylvania the political position of the lower counties must
inevitably decline.
These and other differences led to the formal division of the two areas
in 1704. After that time the Three Lower Counties had their own
separate Assembly and were a separate administrative unit, although they
shared a proprietor and a governor with Pennsylvania. Unlike
Pennsylvania, Delaware never had an executive council and functioned
with just an Assembly until the establishment of the Delaware State in
1776.
The Lords Baltimore were much less reluctant to take on William Penn
than they had been the King's brother and by the early 18th century
there began the first in a long series of litigation in the English
courts to establish the proper boundaries between the Three Lower
Counties and Maryland. These actions grew more intense as settlement
progressed in the areas in question and the stakes grew higher. At one
point relatively early in the proceedings the Calverts were
outmaneuvered by the Penns when they allowed the acceptance by the court
of a map which showed Cape Henlopen as being located at the present site
of Fenwick Island rather than where it is actually located some 20 miles
to the north.
As a practical reality, during the first three quarters of the 18th
century, everything in Sussex County south of the Indian River and west
of a line generally running diagonally from Millsboro to a few miles
east of Greenwood was considered to be in Maryland, but this was never
absolute. And since settlement was minimal in this border area the line
was somewhat hard to fix with any degree of certainty. The Calverts
frequently attempted to grant lands in domains generally held to be
controlled by the Penns and vice-versa as a way of trying to strengthen
their opposing claims. The murder of the tax-collector mentioned by one
correspondent on this subject was not entirely an isolated incident,
though it was the only case I know of in which violence led to murder.
This is the background which led to the various surveys to establish the
boundary, mandated by the British courts. These culminated in the most
famous survey by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in 1763. It should be
noted that Delaware's southern boundary with Maryland is not technically
a part of the Mason-Dixon Line, despite a continuing belief to the
contrary among many people who live in the area. There is a Mason-Dixon
Motel in Fenwick Island and a Mason-Dixon Shopping Center in Selbyville,
for example. The southern boundary is part of the earlier
Transpeninsular Line, run by homegrown American surveyors in 1750 and
1751 to establish the middle point of the peninsula beginning at Fenwick
Island.
Mason and Dixon confirmed that the earlier line was accurate and then
began their survey at the Middle Point (some five miles west of the
present town of Delmar). Having earlier laid out the great circle which
constitutes Delaware's northern border with Pennsylvania, they ran the
boundary line north from the middle point to intersect with this arc
(there was a slight area of variation northwest of Newark known as "The
Wedge", but that is another story). Then, at the point of intersection,
Mason and Dixon turned west and ran the line which now constitutes the
boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania. This is the most famous
part of the line, the part which historically separated north from
south. Delaware is the only state which is neither north nor south of
the Mason-Dixon Line, but actually east of it.
It took the courts another 7 or 8 years to officially approve the new
boundaries, which were implemented in 1775, just months before the
beginning of the American Revolution. That struggle resulted, among
other, more momentous changes, in the final annihilation of the claims
of both the Penns and the Calverts. The former Maryland parts of Sussex
County were thenceforth known for several generations as "New Sussex"
while the old, original parts of the county were "Old Sussex." Hope
this is helpful. - Dick Carter

Subject: [D-Col] Maryland - Off Topic
Bob:
No, Maryland was a "Catholic" colony long before James II's time.
Actually, Maryland was the "next-door" neighbor of New Netherland
following the Dutch conquest of New Sweden in the 1650's. The fact that
the Dutch & Swedish settlements on the west side of the Delaware were
inside Lord Baltimore's 1632 grant caused the conflict that finally was
settled with the drawing of the Mason-Dixon Line in the 1760's,
separating Maryland from the Penn territory in Delawere & Pennsylvania.
There seems to have been some migration of Dutch families to Maryland.
If those who ended up in St. Mary's & have remained Catholics for
generation were Catholics in New Netherland or not, I don't know.
George Calvert, 1st Lord Baltimore, converted back [or went public to
what he already was] to Catholicism while he was an advisor to James I,
in the early 1620's [60 years before James II's time]. He wanted a
colony in America both to make $$$ and as a refuge for his fellow
English Catholics. His first land grant was Avalon in Newfoundland.
Weather, mostly, caused that colony to fail. In 1632, he got a grant for
a hunk of Virginia north of the Potomac River and "under" the 40th
parallel. [This included much of the later New Sweden colony].
Then he died; the charter was given to his son Cecil Calvert, 2nd Lord
Baltimore. Cecil remained in England, but sent his brother Leonard to
Maryland to establish the colony. [Leonard is the distant ancestor of
our United Methodist preacher Rev. Chris Owens, whom I'm cc'ing]. Coming
w/ Leonard was Father Andrew White, S. J. Father White celebrated the
first Mass in the English Colonies on the Feast of the Annunciation [25
March 1634] on St. Clement's Island in the Potomac River, off the
present St. Mary's County shoreline. March 25, this ancient Catholic
holiday, is today "Maryland Day" & is a public holiday in the state. A
settlement was made at St. Mary's City, named for the Blessed Virgin
Mary, shortly thereafter. By 1637, St. Mary's County was established
also named for the BVM.
Virtually, the entire ruling class of Maryland were Roman Catholics; but
few of the servants were. In time, you had a smaller and smaller
Catholic minority ruling over a larger and larger Protestant majority.
Here is the root of the 1689 Revolution.
Cecil instructed his brother Leonard to issue an policy "toleration"
which was made law by the assembly in 1649. This gave "toleration" to
all Trinitarian Christians ... this quickly allowed an influx of
Puritans from Virginia and Quakers from New England to move into
Maryland. The Jesuits worked "round the clock" to convert these
non-Catholic immigrants, with much success in the southern counties;
less so elsewhere in the state.
Huge land holdings were granted to the Jesuits by the Lords Baltimore -
a few of which are still in Jesuit hands 350+ years later. However, the
Lords Baltimore resisted Jesuit pressure to set the Roman Church up as
the state religion. They knew that would never fly w/ the English
authorities.
So, in that sense Maryland was never "Catholic" in the way Virginia was
Anglican or Massachusetts Bay Puritan.
A small number of English Catholics immigrated, mostly from Lancshire &
other northern counties. Conversion of those Protestants who settled in
the colony was what helped boost the Catholic population in Maryland.
Frequently, the only clergyman in an area was a Jesuit; w/ no Anglican
ministers, many Anglicans easily slid back into Catholicism.
Lord Baltimore briefly lost Maryland during the English Civil War, but
Puritan Oliver Cromwell gave it back. Under Charles II, Maryland
prospered. King Charles was not too harsh on his possibly fellow
Catholics - after all his mother, wife, & brother all were Catholics.
Charles Calvert, 3rd Lord Baltimore, actually lived in America. The
foundations of his house are onboard the U. S. Navy naval air station at
Patuxent River, Maryland. Charles, 3rd Lord Baltimore, was the one
overthrown in the 1689 Revolution.
******The growing Protestant majority resented minority Catholic rule.
********
BOB - HERE'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION
Following the 1688 overthrown of Catholic James II, the Protestants
formed an army & built a small navy. Lord Baltimore's military forces
were overwhelmed. "Catholic" rule ended. Royal government under William
& Mary was established. The capital was moved to Protestant Annapolis;
in 1692 the Church of England was established as the state church; a
series of "anti-Popery" laws were passed; the great brick chapel at St.
Mary's City - probably the largest church in the English colonies of any
denomination - was pulled down; the celebration of Mass was outlawed in
public; etc.
When Charles, 3rd Lord Baltimore died, his son jumped ship & became an
Anglican. Queen Anne gave the colony back to the now Anglican Calverts.
They ruled it until they lost it for the last time after the American
Revolution. It is from this Protestant branch that came the wife of
Martha Washington's son Jackie Parke Custis. Her grandson George
Washington Park Custis & his daughter Mrs. Robert E. Lee and Lee's
present day descendants all claim this descent from Lord Baltimore - as
do the mulatto children G. W. P. Custis had by his slave mistress at
"Arlington" - now Arlington National Cemetery.
By the 1730's, the "anti-popery" laws were relaxed somewhat & a few
churches was built. St. Francis Xavier near Leonardtown was built in
1731 & is today the oldest standing Roman Catholic church of English
origin in the 13 Colonies. By the time of the American Revolution there
were about 25,000 Roman Catholics in the colonies. Only those in
Pennsylvania were truly free in our modern sense of the word. A
scattering were in the other colonies; Maryland had the vast majority of
these Catholics; most of them lived in only 4 counties: Frederick,
Prince George's, Charles & about 1/2 of the Maryland total in St.
Mary's.
After the Revolution a large migration of Catholics from Southern
Maryland went out to central Kentucky - Marion, Nelson, & Washington
counties. This helped depopulate Southern Maryland. 44% of the white
people in Charles County left ! :o(
Baltimore grew up after the Revolution as the center of American
Catholicism. Rev. John Carroll, S. J., from Prince George's County, was
elected by the American priests, mostly Jesuits, to be the first bishop.
The Pope confirmed the election & appointed Carroll to be the 1st Bishop
of Baltimore. The Diocese covered the entire U. S. A. When Baltimore was
divided in 1808, Carroll was raised to Archbishop; the other bishops
were at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, & Bardstown, Kentucky [for all
those Maryland Catholics "gone west"]. The first cathedral, now
undergoing restoration, was the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in
downtown Baltimore, designed by Latrobe the famous architect.
You really can't study American Catholicism with looking at this group
here in Maryland, although an interesting book I read did just that. It
started the story of American Catholicism with the Irish immigration of
the early 19th century; skipping the first 200 years, Oh, well .....

In 2000 a number of us had the same interest and the following is from a old email. I hope this help you.
*******
I have a letter from another person and Letters of my GGRANDFATHER William Marion Calvert MD, who mentions Mrs Bourgeoise coming to visit them for interviews.
I found my Anita Calvert Bourgeoise BOOK, "The Calvert Family of Maryland and Virginia"
There is a stamped date in the book "St. Louis, MO. Public Library, Oct 4, 1919". The book was copywriter in 1916. So the book is at least 83 years old.
Thanks to Debbie Wodickers of High Ridge, MO who was kind enough to go to the library and make me a copy as the library would not lend it our on library loan. I had located two books one in St. Louis, MO and the other Fort Wayne, Allen CO., Ind.
Dan Whitmire sent me a copy of a Anita Calvert Bourgeoise letter head letter.
Email from Elizabeth Calvert a news paper clipping among her grandmothers notes.
Newspaper clipping: "Kansas City, Mo., Jan 5, 1913 - The Western Calvert Heirs' Association met here today and resolved to take up the fight of possession of the lands in and around the city of Baltimore that were granted in the 17th century to Lord Baltimore by King James I of England. The estate, for which the association assert they will soon open a legal contest, has an estimated value of $600,000,000."
Here are some other email that may be interested in joining our search. They chatted were on the Calvert email last year when the subject on the Calvert Heirs came up. Greg Nelson said that the lawsuit was actually filed in Baltimore, and that the family lost their claim. If you want to look for the suit, I would expect to find it filed in the late 20s or early 30s, and to be title Calvert Heirs v. City of Baltimore. They were still trying to raise money when Cora Hiatt published her Chenaweth history which was Greg Nelson's line.
Carolyn Joy
*******
The case was filed in the Maryland Supreme Court then withdrawn and
filed in the US Supreme Court.
*******
Someone in this group has the book by Mrs. Bourgeooise. She was the
attorney and Genealogist that handled the case. I to have old letters that
discuss the case. And mention my family sending money for the legal fees. I
hope to see the book done by Mrs., Bourgeoise.
Henry Turner
*******
Your mention of Anita Calvert Bourgeoise fits with what I know. A letter
that I have dated 1915 is written from Attorney Alexine Hobbs Craig of
Gallatin Co. KY. My research indicates that she was a cousin through my
Hobbs line. Apparently she was the daughter of my 3rd ggrandmother, Nancy
Hobbs's youngest brother, Emory Hobbs. Alexine's letter urges her cousin,
Mary Speer to gather the cousins together "to write to everyone of your
Calvert line" and prepare for the great legal battle which will surely
regain our rightful inheritance that the greatest legal minds are working
on this etc etc and that everyone should contact Mrs Anita Calvert
Bourgeoise oh yeah I think that they were also urged to write to their
congressmen etc.

Subject: [CALVERT] CALVERT Suit against BALTIMORE?
Hi All,
I heard from a cousin that our CALVERTs sent their family records,
bibles and other papers to someone who was trying to prove relationship to
the CALVERTs who were trying to win a Court Case. While it sounds a little
scammy; if it did happen, does anyone know what happened to all the records,
documents and what else? I am not sure but supposedly this must have been
50-60 years ago, or more.
My interest is Genealogically related to, which of the wives of Hezekiah
"Hazzard" WOOD (b.1774 likely in Md.) was the mother to my GG Grandmother
Lucinda WOOD b. abt 1800, ie,was she the GENTRY or the BRADLEY; any info
appreciated,
JA

Does anyone have the complete story on this scam? It would be nice to know
where the records were sent and maybe find out if any of them still survive.
