I am a descendent of George Calvert (the Younger) of Prince William County
through his daughter Cynthia.
My mother's cousin submitted DNA.

Karen,
Are you a descendant of John and Esther Jones Calvert through their
daughter Hannah Mercer Calvert? Or, are you of another Calvert family?
David Bell has been trying to find a male Calvert descendant of John and
Esther to take the test.
Thanks.
Jim Calvert
