David I noticed this bit of information you had a Jun Shepard. (After
the section of leaving property to his wife and children, he
leaves to Son in Law, John Lafbury, God-son John Danell, God-daughter
Jun Shepard and then to John Calvirt.) What are the chances this Shepard
is related to John & Esther Calverts, daughter Anna Calvert who married
William Sheppard?

George Parker Sr Will 1708 proved 1713...Leaves to John Calvirt
I spent about 5 hours at Clayton Library looking for anything
related and came up with nothing new except one record in Eastern
Shore MD. The reason is because I had not seen anything on it
before. I didnt transcribe the whole thing because it is related to
the Parker Family but
John Calvirt came up in the library index and I found the reference
in the following in the Baltimore hundred of Somerset(this shows you
how close Somerset County itself is to the proximity of Baltimore
and now DC):
VOl 8 Colonial families From Eastern Shore Maryland - Barnes, Gen
975.2 B 261 MD Family Line Publishers, Westminster, MD.
Gleanings of the published Legal document by David Bell.
Topic is the Parker Family based on the WIll of George Parker Sr.
Somerset County, Baltimore Hundred(seaside). George Parker Sr, son
of William Parker, Will filed 1708 proved 7 Jul 1713. Mentions Land
identified as: Ship Rack Island, Mt. Hope, Romly Marsh,
Wocitt, Kickotanck.
After the section of leaving property to his wife and children, he
leaves to Son in Law, John Lafbury, God-son John Danell,
God-daughter Jun Shepard and then to John Calvirt.
George's wife is not identified. From the various legal documents,
the following children of George and wife unknown are: Isaac,
George, Abigail who married John Laufbury, Amy Marie who married
[--?--] Hutson and Mary who married [--?--] Warrington.
How does John Calvert fit into this family? Which John Calvert? This
does place a John Calvert in the south east of what is now
Baltimore. Note the similarity of Wharton to Warrington(see Alvah
Headlee's genealogy related to the ancestry of Thomas Calvert of
Greene County, PA--I can send this to anyone interested).
When you look at how this lies at this time on a map, Baltimore
Hundred
is up around the top of the Chesapeake and down. I think boundaries
were an issue as the Development of MD occurred and that is why the
differentiation in referring to Somerset later, and old Somerset
early on--in this case it discusses sea side but I believe this
means Chesapeake Bay, not the
Atlantic. David
