: Dear Calvert family researchers,
:
: I found a book by the MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE called MARYLAND
: GENEALOGIES which state that Leonard CALVERT was not a religious man
unlike
: his father. Is it possible that this Leonard is the father of Matthew
: RODHAM? It was Leonard who paid for the transport of Matthew from
England.
: Matthew was his servant for several years and it is likely that he would
: have paid for his trip due to the fact that he was his son. It was also
: proper at that time to take on the responsability of raising an
: illigitimate child and make them a servant until the age of
accountability
: was reached.
:
: I would like to know your thoughts.
