Calvert List Jill re Wroth
Elizabeth Wroth b. c1554 d/o Sir Thomas Wroth and Mary Rich (d/o the
infamous Richard Rich at time of Henry VIII, who betrayed Sir Thomas
More, concerning Anne Boylen) m. Sir George Mynne. Dau. Anne Mynne b. 10
Nov. 1579 d. 1622 m. Geo. Calvert, Lord Baltimore.
Their 2nd son, Leonard, 1st gov. of MD. m. Anne Brent. She was d/o Sir
Richard Brent of Larke Stoke & Addington 1573-1652 Sheriff of Gloucester,
and wife Elizabeth REED d/o Giles Reed and Katherine Grevill. Eliz. was
granddau. of Sir Fulke Greville of Millcote and Beauchamp's Court and his
wife Lady Elizabeth Willoughby de Broke, once the richest heiress in Eng.
Anne's sister was Margaret Brent, one of the greatest land holders in MD.
who wanted to be come a member of the House of Burgesses in MD. Denied
such, she left in disgust and went to VA. She was the one to whom Leonard
dictated his will. And
she also came back to MD. to make certain that Wm. Calvert,
s/o Leonard and Anne (Brent) Calvert, got deserved lands and
positions.
The Elizabeth Worth who seems to have m. Sir Wm. Brent was at least 2
generations before. Sir Wm. Brent's dates were 15031595. He was the g.
grandfather of Anne Brent. It is not surprising that relatives later on
m. relatives.
I have a feeling that Elizabeth Wroth who m. Sir Wm. Brent was a d/o
Robert Wroth who m. c1515 Jane Haute 1486-1536. The dates seem to be
possible. On my lineage, I have no Peyton at all.
Ah, ha. I found a Peyton connection thru Elizabeth Rich d/o Richard Rich.
Robert Peyton of Iselham high sheriff of Cambridge 1523-1S90 m. Elizabeth
Rich. Her sister was Mary Rich who m. Sir Thomas Wroth.
Partial Brent line: Robert Brent of Cossington 1477-1531 m. 1499 Margery
Colchester. Sir Wm. Brent 1502-1595 m. Elizabeth WORTH. Richard Brent m.
1573 Mary Huggerford. Sir Richard Brent m. Eliz. Reed. Anne Brent m.
Leonard Calvert.
Partial Mynne line: John Mynne m.c1525 Alice Standish. Geo. Mynne
1529-1581 m. 1574 Elizabeth WORTH. Anne Mynne 1579-1622 m. Geo. Calvert,
Lord Baltimore. Leonard Calvert m. Anne Brent.
From the dates it is obvious that the Elizabeth Worths are NOT THE SAME
WOMEN!!!!
Be away until Sept. 27. Good luck. Hope this helps.
