Maria,
The White family was also among the early settlers. I found
John White, the son of a Doctor Peter White. This John
White obtained a land grant of 260 acres on Hogs Creek
in 1761. The Calverts had land grants on the Red Bud.
The Calverts were almost certainly Quakers as were many
other early settlers in Frederick Co. Below is an excerpt
from a History of Frederick, which may be found on the
internet. You can readily see the influence of the Quakers,
Irish and Scotch. Also, there may be explanation as to
where Washington White got his name.

George, Thank you for the information. I don't know if my John
White was
part of this early WHITE family - since John and White are such common
names, that is why I was trying to search the Calvert family, it is not
such a common name as White. I was really hoping to find a marriage for
Mary Calvert and John White.
