Karen, I found that information very curious on the Calvert families.
George Calvert, born in 1661 could not be the brother of Lord Baltimore.
Charles was the 3rd Lord Baltimore(1637 - 1714), and had 4 children: Anne,
Cecilius, Benedict Leonard who succeeded him to the title and his younger
brother Charles who became Governor of Maryland 1720 - 1727.
According to Foster in George Calvert:The Early Years, there were many
Calvert families in the Ridings, part of Yorkshire; in fact, too many to
sort out. Perhaps this is where your George and William are from.
George, 1st Lord Baltimore did have a son George, born 1610, drowned MD/VA
in 1634. Cecil, 2nd LB had a George, born 1634 but no William. He must
have died young as his younger brother, Charles succeeded to the title.
Leonard Calvert, Cecil's brother had only 2 acknowledged children, Anne and
William, b 1643
So, I wonder where this information comes from?

I may be way off track but wonder if this you recall being married to
a
Calvert. I can't place this family but the name caught my attention:
Part 3: The Notes of Alvah Headlee - Librarian Waynesburg, PA
Title) The Calvert Family Lineage (this apparently in the hand of Alvah
Headlee. The Charts match the method he used in preparing the Headlee
Genealogy book which he Published. I have gone over his book and other
documents but found no further information on his Calvert line. His papers
are filed at a library in Greene County at Waynesburg. Another research
trip is necessary in order for me to pour over what materials are to be
found.)
He wrote:
George Calvert and his brother John Calvert, Brothers of Lord Baltimore.
The Younger came from England to the Colony of Maryland in 1691. George
Calvert, Born in Sussex in 1661 was one of the three Surveyors that
surveyed the south plat of Baltimore in 1714 and was a local guardian of
the law from 1701 to 1708.
He had a wife, three sons - William, George, John - 2 daughters Cecilia
and Mary.
William Calvert, brother of George Calvert, came from their home in Sussex
England to Baltimore County, Maryland in 1705 and was the agent of the
London Fur Company in Baltimore 1706 to 1719. (now this indicates these
brothers came out of Sussex and would tie William, George, and John as
sons of a John Calvert)>
John Calvert, son of George Calvert, born in England in 1686, came to
Baltimore with his parents in 1691. He was an innkeeper in upper Baltimore
town 1721 to 1730. In 1722 he, with Dr. Samuel Eckerlin, made their way to
the middle of the Potomac River regions and purchased some prime furs and
it was through this first trading with the Connechnee Indians that the
London Fur Co set up their first Fur post and trading house at "Long
Meadows" in Frederick Co., Md. in 1726 and in 1728 placed Col. Thos.
Cresap there as their agent in 1728 who continued there until 1745.
John Calvert married Margaret Robinson in 1717, and from records they had
three sons, Resin, William & Cecil and 2 daughters, Elizabeth & Mary.
Elizabeth Calvert was married to one Samuel Lewis and settled in
Philadelphia and later in Chester Co.
