Hello;
I found the following in "Maryland Genealogies" at the Louisville, Ky.

(Correction)
Maternal Ancestry of Sir George Calvert
We feel that in view of Maryland's Tercentenary celebration, it is
opportune to correct a false notion, on the part of several historians,
concernng the maternal ancestry of Sir George Calvert.
In Foster's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1584--1612, et seg., there
appear two conflicting versions with respect to the name of the mother
of Sir George Calvert (1579--1632) . On page 500, sub (Calvert of Danby
Wiske), the first Lord Baltimore is mentioned as a son of Leonard Calvert
and his wife Alice, the daughter of "John Crosland of Crosland." On
page 509, (ibid), sub "Crosland of Helmsley, George Calvert is mentioned
as a son of Leonard Calvert and wife Grace, a daughter of "Thomas
Crosland of Crosland" by -----(daughter) of ----- Hawksworth of
Hawksworth."
Later writers hacve adopted the one or the other version as their fancy
seems to have dictated. Let us eliminate first the incorrect pedigree.
Thomas Crosland (or, Crossland) , of Crosland Hallin the parish of
Almondbury, Yorkshire, died in the year of 1587, on a journey to London
and was buried September 2, 1587. He married first (1) Mariana or Marina
Hawksworth, the daughter of Walter Hawksworth She was buried at
Almondbury in 1565. He married (2) Joanna -----, who died and was
buried at Almondbury, July 11, 1575.
Thomas Crossland had issue, nine children as follows: by first
wife,Thomas and Anne; by second wife, George, John, Michael, Luke,
Grace (born Feb. 8, 1572 / 3) who "married Leonard Calvert of Kipling in
Yorkshire."
From the afore going data, it is obvious that Grace Crossland, who
was born in 1573, could not have been the mother of Sir George Calvert
(1579--1632), yet could have been a second wife of Leonard Calvert, even
though twenty years his junior and, thus step-mother of Sir George
Calvert.
Another pedigree is supplied by the clever and zealous Calvert
family genealogist, Benedict Leonard Calvert (1700--1732), Oxford
graduate, who drew up and wrote with his own hand, a Calvert pedigree in
which he mentions the mother of Sir George Calvert as "Alicia, daughter
and heiress of John Crosland of Crosland." (Maryland Historical Magazine
II page 369.)
This is the correct pedigree, because of no other grounds could
the Calvert descendants have exercised the heraldic privilege of
quartering the Calvet and Crossland arms.
Further, an "heiress", in the heraldic sense, indicated a daughter of a
family in which there are no sons. Where there are several such
daughters, all have equal status and are styled "co-heiresses."
