Dennis, When I saw your query Re: CALVERTS of Baltimore & Maryland I remember reading something in "THE ROYAL DESCENTS of 500 IMMIGRANTS to the American Colonies or the United States" by Gary Boyd Roberts (RD500) Genealogical Publishing Co. Inc., 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21202 that might interest you! On pg. 9 shown as descent from 1. Charles 11, King of England, d. 1685=Catherineo Braganza; 2. (illegitamate by Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland) Charlotte Fitzroy=Edward Henry Lee, 1st Earl of Lichfield 3. Lady Charlotte Lee=(1) Benedict Leonard CALVERT, 4th Baron Baltimore, proprieter of Maryland 4. (by 1) Charles CALVERT, 5th Baron of Baltimore, colonial governor of Md.= Mary Janssen 5. Hon. Caroline Calvert= Sir Robert Eden, 1st Bt. (1741-1784), colonial governor of Md. 5.(illegitimate by------) Benedict "Swingate" CALVERT(of Md.)=Elizabeth CALVERT, daughter of Charles CALVERT, alias Lazenby, alias Butler, colonial governor of Md. and Rebecca Gerard. Among the children of Benedict and Elizabeth, Eleanor CALVERT married 1st John Parke Custis, stepson of George Washington, 1st President of the United States and son of Daniel Parke Custis and Martha Dandridge. Benedict was according to NEHGR 104(1950):175, the son of Melusina de Schulenberg, Countess of Walsingham and wife of Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, man of letters, illegitimate daughter of George 1, King of Great Britain, d. 1727 and Ermengarde Melusina de Schulengerg, Duchess of Kendal. (the above is not & exact copy of the page & does not include the sources listed on that page. The emphasis on CALVERT was mine , not the author. I made a further check on Anne CALVERT in the NEHGS Register, Vol 112, pg 236 There is an Anne CALVERT of Maryland m. Thomas Rolt at Fleet St., London, 8 may 1731. Although some sources indicate she is illegimate (natural daughter) after Lord Baltimore separated from his wife in 1705. There are further references to Royal connections. I am sorry I don't have time to pursue this further, but I hope it may have given you sme leads or at least a little more on the CALVERTS of Baltimore. I am sure there is much more out there but I just had time for one quick dip into the references. Sorry I can't take time todo more. I am behind on my own research on my BEAL lines in New England. GOOD HUNTING
