Henry:
Several people on this list know more on the John Calvert family than I. However, I do
suggest that you find a copy of J. Richard Buckey's book: The History of the Calverts
Who Were Quakers. Here you will find quite a lot on John Calvert who is named as one of
the fathers of the Quaker colony established in Orange Co. now Frederick Co., VA.
You can order this book on microfilm at the Family History Centers of the Mormons.

You possibly may also be able to purchase it through Mr. Buckey at the below address:
Chenoweth Publishing Co.

Fairview Park, Ohio 44126
Or that failing it may be at a local genealogical library.
Below are the notes from the FHC entry for the microfilm:
