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
