Quotes from James W. Foster "George Calvert: The Early Years":
p.25 "The Calverts had been known for generations in Yorkshire, and families
of that name were established in each of the three ridings, though they may
not all have descended from a single stock."
p.26"The Calvert name is associates with Kiplin as early as 1570 when
"Jenkyn alias John Calvert de Kypling" was involved in a legal proceeding,
the full record of which is now lost. He was probably a near relative of
John Calvert of Oulcotes, Parish of Arncliffe, some 25 miles to the west,
who died in 1565 naming a Leonard Calvert as one of the supervisiors of his
will. John of Oulcotes had a son Christopher, a name as we shall see, borne
by another son of Leonard Calvert of Kiplin. Oulcotes, atop the Pennine
Ridge and beyond the border of the North Riding, in the West Riding, was the
place of residence of many Calverts. We may surmise that it was from thence
the Kiplin branch derived.
p.35 "Another family closely associated with the Calverts were the
Smithsons. Geroge Calvert's sister Dorothy married Christopher Smithson of
Moulton North Riding...Sons of Christopher and Dorothy Smithson were named
Leonard, Calvert and George."
p.37 "The orders of the Yorkshire High Commission relating to Leonard
Calvert and his family as abstracted by Father Aveliing for the Acts Books,
are as follows:
...
p.38, Oct. 23, 1592 Leonard Calvert, gent, bonded in L100 that Geroge
Calvert and Christopher Calvert, his sons, shall hereafter learn with Mr.
Fowberry now schollmaster at Bilton and shall not depart from him without
license. If required, his is to bring them to the Commissioners once a
quarter to see how they perfect in learning."
There is a further order on May 15, 1593 that mentions both George and
Christopher, but no additional children either male or female are mentioned
in any of the numerous orders.

Well, I am not certain either since I am getting this information
from
websites, but here is what I found:
Leonard Calvert b. 1550 m. Alicia Crossland (he was a farmer and she was
nobility) had:
John Calvert b. about 1574
George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) b. 1578
Christopher Calvert b. about 1580
Mary Calvert b. 1588
Leonard Calvert b. ?
Thomas Calvert b. ?
Ann Calvert who m. Valentine Hollingsworth was the granddaughter of John
Calvert b. about 1574 (m. Grace) through his son Thomas Calvert b. 1617
who
m. Jane Glasford.
One genealogy library book (don't have title) did not list John Calvert as
a
son of Leonard Calvert and Alicia Crossland but this conflicts with
some
websites I am finding. I would love to pin this down better and welcome
all
corrections and additions.
