Thanks, David.
Do you have any references that indicate the 11 siblings of George--he had
11 children by 2 wives!
Jerry Bruhn wrote that all his were secondary references and published much
earlier than the one I have, listing Mary as George's sister. James Foster,
Director of the Maryland Historical Society, attempted to write a definitive
work on George Calvert, but died before its completion. Posthumously, the
Maryland Historical Society published the first section as George Calvert:
The Early Years.
I agree with you as I lack Mary or any otther sibling, save one brother
Christopher whose name appears in a Yorkshire High Commission report and is
not mentioned in any additional information found on the early years of
George Calvert.
I also agree that a Mary Calvert married Isaac Chaplain and emigrated to
Virginia. I believe, however, that Chaplain's Choice was on the south bank
of the James River in Virginia, not Maryland.
Thanks for the help and encouragement.

Joanne,
I lost my first post to this but i want to point out that i have found no
record of
Mary in England via various search tools such as here for probate
and court records. However: I find
references to Isaac Chapl(a)ine) of Chaplin(s) choice MD and wife m b
1586. this is the right time for a sister of George. Supposedly this Mary
was an earlier settler with a RN officer
who died at sea. She and then her son inherited Chaplin's Choice
after her
husbands death. Whether this is your Mary or not, there are many who
believe
that George had 11 siblings or there were 11 children altogether, including
info
published at So Md Online. I am perusing history books, etc
but if indeed Isaac(k) Chapl(a)in(e) was her husband, that is a good place
to
start. oddly enough, the books are US origin not the UK. There must be
more.
I kept an eye out since you have helped me in the past. I will poke around
historical reference books and see what I find.
regards,
David Bell
