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.

I agree that there should be interest here related to this story of the Courts and
Robinson etc. Not for the focus being paid related to Leonard Calvert(Brother of the 2nd
Lord Cecilius) but due to his grandson William b 1666.
So for the sake of my own query, I will ask: Can you post a transcription of this will of
Ann Calvert wife of Leonard(For whom there is no proven marriage)?
William Calvert b 1666, son of William Calvert c 1641 m Elizabeth Stone and was the
principle Secty of MD among other offices(who drowned Wicomico River or Sound, 1682), was
the Executor of the estate of William Robinson in 1696.
This has led me to believe that this William Calvert was married and had issue and that
the Calverts of MD Eastern shore are derived from this descent(See Alexander Calvert,
Coventry PE Marriage, 1744 and some children in the Parish records-EFO, Descendants VA
Calverts).
>From my own research into this, I believe that William Calvert, Planter of record,
Somerset Co MD, sued in court in 1726 and 33 is the father of Alexander noted above. I
have no proof only a paucity of possible Calverts leads me to believe this is true...and
since William Calvert was alive in 1696, I am of the opinion, again no proof, that William
Calvert Planter is William III as at least a postulate, I would like to see any evidence
of this Margaret Robinson -- another reason is about this same time frame of the 1980s, my
mother received a letter from a genealogist referring to a Calvert marriage to Margaret
Robinson -- which I have never been able to find any information to support except this
singular known reference of William Calvert being the executor of the Will of William
Robinson in 1696.
Thanks,
David
