I think I can help you. I'll be going to Wilmington and Elkton in two
weeks. There's lots of info there on Valentine.

Subject: Re: [CALVERT] Calverts Who Were Quakers
Cathy,
My Calvert ancestor was Ann Calvert who married Valentine Hollingsworth.
I
have looked into this and found that, although she was not a
descendant of
the Lords Baltimore who founded Maryland, she did have a common ancestor
with
them (Leonard Calvert who married Alicia de Crossland). In fact, she
was
rather closely related. I think George and Leonard were her greatuncles
(or
is it granduncles?--her grandfather's brothers). The book
"Immigration of
the Irish Quakers Into Pennsylvania" mentions that there was once a
territorial dispute between Lord Baltimore and William Penn which meant
that
Valentine Hollingsworth and his wife Ann were caught in the middle
with
conflicting loyalties. Let me know if this conflicts with anything more
that
you know.
Thanks,
Ruth
