1.? The unknown Mrs. Leonard Calvert. Leonard Calvert, brother of Cecilius
Calvert, was Governor of Maryland from 1634 to 1644/5, and from 1646 to
1647. It is believed that he married Anne Brent, but proof of the marriage
has not been found. No Anne Brent or Anne Calvert has been found in various
early settlers lists. Harry Wright Newman states that no proof of the
Calvert-Brent marriage has been found. Tradition states that Leonard Calvert
must have married during a return trip to England in April 1643, a trip that
lasted 17 months. Moreover, in 1651 Anne Brent was listed as a non-juror
spinster. However, it should be remembered that the term spinster was
sometimes used to refer to a woman's socio-economic status and not to her
marital status. Nevertheless, if Anne Brent had married Leonard Calvert she
most likely would have been styled Anne Calvert. Mrs. Calvert evidently
never came to Maryland, but she did bear Leonard Calvert two children:
William, and Anne, who married first, Baker Brooke; second, Henry Brent who
died in 1693, and third , Richard Marsham.?
