Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm getting there. Now I just need to
find the records of the marriage of Nathaniel & Sarah however I also have
the will of Nathaniel which states Sarah Howson Calvert as his wife.
Everything from there works out so I guess the line is just about proven.
I'd like to get the copies of the references listed in this note, and then,
voilia. Ah, don't I wish I could do this with all my lines.......
Thanks again everyone & Barb!

Debi,
Here is the full text about Charles Calvert, who married Mary Howson.
Charles was
the
proven son of William Calvert of Maryland. This is a well known line
of
the Calvert family.
Let me know if you descend from either Sarah Howson Calvert or Ann
Calvert. I can help
here also.
If this text gets scrambled, I can send it as a separate file. For anyone
else
searching early
lines of the Calverts, I have the first 130 pages of O'Gorman as
computer
text file.
