His eldest son was George b--1798.
Edward Henry Calvert's father was Benedict Calvert, who was
b--in
England and
was raised in this country at the home of his uncle,
Charles
Calvert (Gov. of Md.,
1720-1727) and on April 21 he m--his first cousin, Eliz.
Calvert, dau--of the Honorable
Charles Calvert in old St. Ann's Church in Annapolis, Md.
We
do not think
it necessary to go further back than Benedict as all of
that
has been covered.
See Vol. I.
Miss Calvert writes: "My claims to fame are very few and I can
only
appreciate the good achieved by my progenitors, of whom I am
justly
proud. On my mother's property of the Swanns was a graveyard
containing 53 graves. This cemetery lay in the path of progress,
so
it was condemned to extinction. Finally an agreement was reached
with the railroad company to furnish the labor and the
transportation and we furnish the burial lots; and remove this
cluster of relatives. Actual work was started September 23,
1922.
One of the first graves removed was of a physician--General
William
Brown--who was the son of the Reverend Richard Brown, son of
Doctor
Gustavas Brown of Port Tobacco, Md. He rendered distinguished
service in the Revo., 1777 to 1780. He wrote and published at
Litiz,
Pa., in 1778 a Pharmacopoeia for the use in Army Hospitals, a
copy
of which is in the 'Toner Collection' of the Library of
Congress.
Doctor Brown d--Jan. 13, 1792. He was interred in a Continental
uniform, kid gloves and the ribbon of an order decorated his
manly
breast. His was one of the oldest graves. One of the oldest, in
fact, I think the oldest, was the grave of 'Long Tom,' a Potomac
Indian Brave, who attempted to take the life of John Alexander,
the
first of the family to make a home in the vicinity of
Washington.
Susan Pearson (Alexander) his wife, dreamed her husband was
being
chased by an Indian. She became so frightened she awoke to find
it a
fact. She raised the family blunderbus and fired, so there ended
the
career of Long Tom. He was wrapped in his blanket and buried on
a
knoll, named Susan's Hill; this later became the burial place of
the
family." So Miss Helen moved Long Tom with the rest of the
family to
Pohick. Both the gr. mother and gr. father Swann were descended
from
John and Susanna Alexander. Consequently we are all very
thankful
Susan's aim was true and the blunderbus was not rusty. For two
weeks
Miss Helen Calvert went every day to the removal of these graves
as
it took just that long to dig them up, put in new boxes and
replace
in new graves. She faithfully performed this task to the best of
her
ability and if there are any mistakes made she feels sure her
relatives will correct the facts properly later to her. Miss
Helen
Calvert has written a wonderful story of all the 53 bodies she
removed personally inspected each one and with pencil made full
description for posterity. She has the great charm of making
delightful the subject gruesome as unheard, but really amusing
as
she relates it so historically and graphically. Her family, both
on
her mother's and father's sides are so interwoven with the early
history of Md. and Va., we feel proud to have her name within
the
covers of this volume.
