Beth,
In the two family genealogies that I have following Charles, 5th Lord
Baltimore's through the illegitimate son, Benedict, there is no mentioni
of a son Benjamin or of his airs.
There is, in fact, a mention of death of HOn. Frances Dorothy Calvert by
The Gentleman's Magazine in 1737 and my cousin has annotated this as the
daughter of Charles, 5th LB.
I am unawares of any manor belonging to the Calverts in Anne Arundel
County--Benedict lived at Mt. Airey, which was the family's hunting
lodge in Prince George's County.
As I continue looking into the entire family and land records in
Maryland, I will look for Benjamin.

This is not my line, but I am curious as to what happened to the Benjamin
Calvert listed below. Does anyone know where I can read additional
information on his line?
