I'm not Pat but Verlinda someone appears to have been her mother. Verlinda Graves is documented by the Maryland State Archives BUT a book called Historical Families of Colonial America lists her as Verlinda Cotton Sprigg.

Thank you for responding to my query regarding Verlinda Graves. I have at least five sources that list her as Verlinda Graves. 1)Adventures of Purse and Person, 2) Willsons and Burchells and Related Families, County Court Records of Accomack-Northampton VA, 4)Virginia History and Genealogy, 5) Flowering of the Mariland Palatinate. I think the confusion comes from the fact that Verlinda Graves had a sister Katherine who married 1) Roper and 2) Sprigg. She had a daughter Verlinda Roper. William Stone mentions his "brother" Sprigg....who wouild really be his brother-in-law. However that term was not always used. Verlinda Graves also had a sister Ann who married Cotton. And she also had a daughter Verlinda (Cotton). My interest has been the footnote on page 183 of The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate (by Newman) that says Verlinda was William Stone's second wife and mother of only two of his children. Has any one found more on this? Thanks again. Shirley

Pat....still can't my email to you I guess. Everyone else receiving it fine. Looking for information on Elizabeth Stone, who married William Calvert about 1664. Was her mother Verlinda Graves or was that her step-mother? Shirley

Dear Calvert Listers, Does anyone have any Calvert's born in Preston, Yks., Eng? Or, any who might have lived in Grewelthorpe, Yks, Eng. My gr. grandfather was Isaiah Calvert b. abt. 1811, Preston, Yks., England. His family was born in Grewelthorpe, Yks and raised there. His daughter, Isabella (Calvert) Metcalfe b. abt. 1833 was my gr. grandmother. Isaiah also had a son, George A. Calvert b. 1851 who was married to a Barbara of Masham, Yks. They had a daughter named Margaret Elizabeth Calvert, b. abt. 1876 in Grewelthorpe also. Isaiah also had a daughter (name unknown) who married a Kirkbright. Possibly Edmund Kirkbright. She had sons named Edmund Kirkbright and "I." Kirkbright. Any help on this family would be much apprecited. Many thanks, Gerie (Foley)

Here is an interesting bit of Calvert related trivia: THE PROVINCIAL FLAG OF MARYLAND. RICHARD HENRY SPENCER The question has often been asked what was the Provincial Flag of Maryland. What was it composed of? The colors of Maryland, both as a Province and as a State, have always been and still are those of the Calverts, but the armorial bearings1 and colors composing the flag of the Province were different from those composing the flag of the State of Maryland. The original exemplification of arms issued 3 December, 1622, to the Honorable Sir George Calvert, Knight, (afterwards First Lord Baltimore), by Sir Richard George, Knight, "Norroy Kinge of Arms of the North parts of the Realme of England from the River of Trent Northward," is in the possession of the Maryland Historical Society. In it, the Norroy King of Arms certifies the ancient arms of the Calvert family, emblazoned in colors, to be "paley of Sixe peices, or and Sables, a bend counterchanged." That is, six vertical stripes, alternately gold (or) and black (sable) crossed by a diagonal stripe running from the upper corner to the observer's left, on which stripe the colors are reversed, being black where it crosses the gold and gold where it crosses the black. George Calvert, First Lord Baltimore, died 15 April, 1632, before receiving a Charter from Charles I, which was the grant of a territory in North America to an individual, and "contained provision for the transmission, whole and unimpaired, of almost all the peculiarities of the British Constitution, not excepting the feudal system itself." It was left to his son, Cecilius Calvert, Second Lord Baltimore, to carry out the plan of colonization which his father had conceived, and upon receiving the Charter 20 June, 1632, to certain territory north of the Potomac river, to be holden by the tenure of fealty only, yielding and paying therefor to his Majesty, his heirs and successors, the rental of "two Indian Arrowes,2 of those parts, to be delivered at the Castle of Windsor, every yeere on the Tuesday in Easter weeke, and also the fifth part of all Gold and Silver Ore, within the limits aforesaid, which shall from time to time happen to be found." He called it Maryland, in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, and daughter of Henry IV, of France. In 1633, Cecilius Calvert sent his brother Leonard Calvert, with a party of twenty gentlemen, three Jesuit priests, and about two hundred others, adventurers, mechanics and indentured servants, in two vessels, the Ark and the Dove, to colonize his new possessions. The use of flags is of great antiquity. In the Bible3 the standards of the various tribes are referred to in the arrangement of the camp of the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai, B. C. 1490. The Assyrian, Greek and Roman armies had their distinctive flags. In Bede's description of the interview, A. D. 597, between the heathen King Ethelbert and the Roman Missionary Augustine, the followers of the latter are said to have borne banners on which silver crosses were displayed. After the Crusades the cross (the symbol which has found its way into the flag of Maryland) seems to have taken a very prominent and important place on the banners and standards of European nations. During the Middle Ages, the war-cry of the English was the name of their patron saint, St. George, and his banner argent, a cross gules, its national ensign. It was borne as one of the English banners at the siege of Caerlaverock in 1300, and during all their wars in France under the Black Prince, the English used a white flag with a red cross, as it is borne today in the flags of the British navy. "Thys blessyd and holy marter saynte George is patrone of this royame of englond, and the crye of men of warre. In the worshyp of whome is founded the noble ordre of the garter," we read in the Golden Legend;4 and Spenser in his Fairie Queene, Book I, Canto 10, says: "For thou emongst those Saints, whom thou doest see, Shalt be a Saint, and thine owne nations frend And patrone: thou Saint George shalt called bee, Saint George of mery England the signe of victoree." The cross of St. Andrew, from the time of the early crusaders, was also held in high esteem as the patron saint of Scotland, and his banner azure, a saltire argent, the national ensign. In 1603, at the accession of James VI. of Scotland and I. of England, he assumed the title of King of Great Britain, being King of both England and Scotland, and as "the English and Scotch vessels were constantly contending, each claiming that her flag was the older," James I. on 12 April, 1606, issued the following proclamation: "Whereas, some differences hath arisen between our subjects of South and North Britain, travelling by sea, about the bearing of their flags; for the avoiding of all such contentions hereafter, we have, with the advice of our Council, ordered, from henceforth, all our subjects of this Isle and Kingdom of Great Britain, and the members thereof, shall bear in their maintop the Red Cross, commonly called St. George's Cross, and the White Cross, commonly called St. Andrew's Cross, joined together, according to a form made by our Herald's, and sent by us to our Admiral to be published to our said subjects; and in their foretop, our subjects of South Britain shall wear the Red Cross only, as they were wont; and our subjects of North Britain, in their foretop the White Cross only, as they were accustomed." This combination of the crosses of the two kingdoms, in one field, was known as the Union, sometimes called the Union Jack as signifying the sovereignty of James I. (Jacobus) over both English and Scotch. The Ark and the Dove when they sailed from Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, 22 November, 1633, with the first colony under Leonard Calvert, flew the St. George's Cross from the foretop, as it was the common ensign of English ships of that period, and possibly the Union flag5 from the maintop, as required by the King's Proclamation of 1606.6 Father Andrew White, in A Relation of Maryland, published in London, September 8, 1635, after describing the arrival of Governor Leonard Calvert and the Colonists at "a River on the North-side of Patomeck River, within 4 or 5 leagues from the mouth thereof, which they called Saint George's River," says: "They went up this river about 4 leagues, and anchored at the Towne of Yoacomaco.... The Governor determined to make the first Colony there, ... and thus upon the 27 day of March, Anno Domini, 1634, the Governour tooke possession of the place, and named the Towne Saint Maries.... They had not beene there many dayes before Sir John Harvie, the governor of Virginia came thither to visit them: ... After they had finished the storehouse, and unladed the ship, the Governour thought fit to bring the Colours on shore, which were attended by all the Gentlemen, and the rest of the servants in armes; who received the Colours with a volley of shot, which was answered by the Ordnance from the ships; At this Ceremony were present, the Werowances of Patuxent, and the Yoacomaco, with many other Indians." There is nothing on record to show what the "Colours" were, but Cecilius Calvert being granted by his Charter absolute ownership of his Province, the armorial bearings of the Proprietor, black and gold (mistakenly called black and yellow), were the colors of the Province and borne on its ensign, and it may have been included among the "Colours" before mentioned. In 1638, Governor Leonard Calvert made his expedition to Kent Island for the purpose of reducing the Claiborne force to subjection, when he and his armed men marched, as he writes to his brother the Proprietor, 25 April, 1638, "with your Ensigne7 displayed." forces of Lord Baltimore and the Parliamentary party, the former marched "in battle array, with Lord Baltimore's colours8 displayed," fighting "against the Lord Protector's government and people, yea to shoot against his Highness's colours, killing the ensign-bearer." In the proceedings of the Lower House of Assembly of the Province of Maryland, 2 June, 1740, the Colours are mentioned, but not described. In the proceedings, however, of the Lower House of Assembly, 26 October, 1742, is the following record: "Invoice of Goods, Shipp'd on Board the Baltimore, Jern(ingham) Bigg, Master, for Maryland, on the proper Account and Risque of the Province of Maryland: and goes consigned to Mr. Charles Hammond, Treasurer of the Western Shore in said Province, and charged as advised, viz: "Mr Samuel Hyde, Bought of Samuel Roberts, February 10, 1741-2. A Black and Yellow Flag, 83 yards at 10 d: œ3.9.2." And in the Proceedings of the Lower House of Assembly, 14 May, 1750, is this record, "The Governor communicates to Mr Speaker the following Accounts, and the following Copy of an Order of Council, viz: By the Governor and Council, January 17, 1749. Ordered. That the Honourable Col. Charles Hammond, Treasurer of the Western Shore, send to the Executors of Mr Joseph Adams, late Merchant in London, for the following Arms and Ammunition: 15 Great Guns, Four Pounders, double fortified, of the new Model; 12 Drums, and 12 Pair of Sticks; 12 Trumpets, and Mouth pieces to each Trumpet; A black and yellow Flag; 20 Half-Barrels of Best Gunpowder," etc. At a Council9 held at the City of Annapolis, Tuesday, the 6th day of August, in the fourth year of his Lordship's Dominion, Annoq Domini, 1755. Present His Excellency Horatio Sharpe, Esqr. Governor. The honble Benja Tasker, Esqr. Benedict Calvert, Esqr. "Ordered that the honourable Col. Charles Hammond, Treasurer of the Western Shoar, send to Mr Silvanus Grove, Merchant in London, for Twenty half Barrels of Gunpowder, a Black & Yellow Flagg 24 feet long and 16 feet broad, with the Union in One Corner, and a Barrel of Flints," etc. This flag was not the Provincial Flag of Maryland, but it was one probably intended for use in his Majesty's service in the war against the French, for Braddock's defeat, the month before, had aroused the Province, and it was made in compliance with the Proclamation of Queen Anne, 28 July, 1707, when the complete or legislative union of Great Britain, including England, Wales and Scotland, was established by treaty and the first Union Parliament assembled. This proclamation provided and required "that the ensigns armorial of our Kingdom of Great Britain," shall be "the crosses of St George and St Andrew conjoined, to be used in all flags, banners, standards and ensigns, both at sea and land." The flag10 thus prescribed and confirmed was called the Union and it became the National flag of Great Britain. It was very often used in the canton by the American colonies in connection with other devices, until the rupture with the mothercountry. The flag of the United Colonies in January, 1776, was composed of thirteen stripes alternately red and white, with the Union in one corner. After the War of the Revolution, by common consent, the Maryland State Flag was composed of the armorial bearings of the Calverts and Crosslands (the latter bearing a cross in brilliantly contrasted colors of silver and red), quartered, as displayed on the escutcheon of the Great Seal, for, no design was ever formally adopted for the official flag of the State of Maryland, until during Governor Warfield's administration, when the General Assembly of Maryland passed "An Act to formally adopt and legalize the Maryland Flag." Chap. 48. Approved March 9, 1904. But the preamble to this Act is incorrect and misleading, as it states, "that the flag designed and used as the Flag of Maryland, under the Proprietary Government, and which is still known as the Maryland Flag, has never been formally adopted by Maryland as a State, its use having been continued by common consent only," and which "from the earliest settlement of the Province to the present time, has been known and distinguished as the Flag of Maryland." There is no Provincial Flag of Maryland in existence, as far as known, and there is nothing on record to warrant the assumption that the Flag of Maryland, under the Proprietary Government, was ever at any time the same as is the Flag of the State of Maryland of today, which is composed of the armorial bearings of the Calverts and Crosslands, quartered, as displayed on the escutcheon of the Great Seal.11 It would thus appear, and it is undoubtedly the fact, that the Provincial Flag of Maryland was composed of the armorial bearings of the Calverts only, black and gold. 1 During the third Crusade under Richard Coeur de Lion, (1189-1192), coats of arms were usually borne by all the great nobles. Their banners were embroidered or painted with their armorial bearings. 2 The receipt for the first year's rent dated Tuesday, the 23d day of April, 1633, signed by W. Thomas, keeper of his Majesty's wardrobe; as also the receipts for the years 1634, 1636-1638, 1640-1643, 1655-1658, 1660-1663, 1671-1677, 1736, 1738-1740, 1743-1751, and 1765, are among the interesting and valuable historical manuscripts belonging to the Maryland Historical Society. 3 "And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts." Numbers, Chap. i, Verse 52. "Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house." Numbers, Chap. ii, Verse 2. 4 The Golden Legend was written by Giacomo de Voragine, Archbishop of Genoa (1230-1298), translated and published by William Caxton, the first English printer, in 1483. 5 It is positively known that Union flags were afterwards used in the famous battle of the Severn, in 1655, between the Province, for in May, 1696, two Union flags were received from London for the use of the Province of Maryland. Maryland Archives, Vol. xx, pp. 446-447. Also Vol. XXIV, page 14. 6 See Calvert Papers, Art. 3, p. 37 (Md. Hist. Soc. Fund. Pub. No. 35). 7 Calvert Papers, No. 1, page 185. 8 Roger Heamans, Commander of the ship Golden Lyon, then at anchor, in Severn River, in Providence (now Annapolis), and who participated in the battle, in his Narrative, published in 1655, a copy of which is in the Bodleian Library, London, says: "The colours were black and yellow--appointed by the L. Br." Thurloe's State Papers, Vol. v, page 487; Bozman's History of Maryland, page 697. Md. Hist. Magazine, Vol. IV, page 148. 9 Maryland Archives, Vol. XXXI, page 46. 10 Our Flag, Preble, 1872; The Flags of the World, Hulme, 1897; The Encyclopedia Americana, 1903; Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Ed. 1910. 11 Cecilius Calvert, Lord Baltimore, derived the Crossland Arms from his grandmother Alicia Crossland, and while he and his successors in the title Baron of Baltimore appear frequently to have used their paternal coat of arms separately, for the Great Seal of Maryland, a province in which as Absolute Lord and Proprietary he had the rank of a count palatine, Cecilius prescribed the quarterly coat, and thus made the provincial arms distinctive. The quarterly coat of arms is shown in Guillim's Display of Heraldry, and appears upon various old prints. For a full description of the Great Seal see Md. Hist Soc. Fund Pub. No. 23 (1896).

If she had succeeded to the throne (she did not, however) and did not marry a Royal husband--or if she married a Royal husband, had no issue by him, they were afraid that Benedict (of "Mt. Airey") might claim the throne and oust the Royal family, so the marriage of the Princess Amelia to Charles Lord Baltimore, which was contrary to the English law, was "hushed up," the records destroyed, and the child, Benedict, sent to America and kept there, under the care of Dr. George Steuart of Annapolis. He was well provided for financially by his father who also gave him the beautiful estate known as "Mt. Airey."

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.

about December, 1795, Annapolis at this time being one of the most favored resorts in America. Mr. Stier started building the Riversdale mansion about 1802. He was attracted to the site where he established his home by the resemblance to the level-lying land to that of his native country about Antwerp, the general plan being originally Flemish, after his home in Belgium, which is still retained by his descendants. The house is constructed of brick, which were made on the place, covered with a cement plaster and painted yellow after the colonial style. The porticoes on the north and south sides, with their sandstone pillars which were meant for the Capitol in Washington and found too short for that use, and the wings, were added by George Calvert and are a departure from the original style of the house, converting the Flemish plan into the Georgian Colonial. George Calvert, the grandson of a lord, young and handsome, with his bride moved to Riversdale about 1802, soon after it was completed, and when Mr. Stier returned to Belgium after the evacuation of that country by Napoleon, he deeded Riversdale to his beloved daughter, Rosalie, afterward settling on her one-third of his fortune, which amounted to over a million dollars. Two portraits by Gilbert Stuart, show the beauty of the wife, the proud elegance of the husband. The great artist has lavished his genius upon the portrait of Rosalie Eugenia Stier Calvert, and it is considered one of the finest of Stuart's works, being a living likeness of womanly beauty, gentleness and grace.

Charles, Lord Baltimore, sent his son, Benedict, to the Province of Maryland from England in the charge of a governor and bestowed upon him wealth and offices and honors. Benedict, evidently, wrote to his father trying to learn the identity of his mother and Lord Baltimore replied to his son that she was too great a lady to be named in writing, and that the secret of his birth would not be confided to him until his return to England. He was appointed Collector of Customs at Patuxent and in 1745 became a member of the Council. He made his home at "Mt. Airy," in Prince George's Co., Md., and d--there on Jan. 9, 1788.

Lord Baltimore answered that there was only one woman he knew of in America whom he would be willing for his son to marry, and that was his cousin, Betty Calvert.

CALVERT THE CALVERT FAMILY The Calvert family is said to have descended from a noble family in Flanders. The first information of the family was through John, from Flanders, France. He left a will, 1566, which does not mention his wife's name but three sons, Leonard, John, and William. The latter also left a will. Leonard Calvert, of Danbywiske, England (the earliest Calvert record in England is that of 1366, Margaretta Calvert [sic] found on Durham Manorial Rolls; old Yorkshire family). Leonard Calvert m--Alicia Crossland, dau--of John and Alice (Hawksworth) Crossland of Yorkshire, England. The family has been traced back to Roger de Crossland, early part of the 13th century. Sir John de Crossland, knighted in the 14th century. In the arms design is a Crusader's cross which form is incorporated with the Calvert Arms and constitutes part of the state of Maryland's Shield and Crest. As females usually carry no arms, Alicia inspired her son, George Calvert, to emulate them. Hence, the term of Heraldry, "Distaff" side of the family. Leonard Calvert became "Landed Gentry of Kiplin," not listed, however, as a Manor, but remained in the generations of the Calvert family until 1713. George Calvert, son of Leonard Calvert and his wife Alicia Crossland, was b--at a place called Kipling, Yorkshire, England. He was educated at All Saints College, Oxford, receiving the degree of A.B. in 1597 and M.A. in 1605. From 1602 to 1616 he held several important offices; and was also appointed one of the commissioners to go to Ireland to examine the condition of affairs there, listen to grievances and adjust them. He was elected to Parliament in 1620 and later reelected. In 1617 he was Knighted and became Sir George Calvert. In 1618 he was made one of the Secretaries of State through the influence and persuasion of his close friend, Sir Robert Cecil. Sir George held the position of Secretary of State under King James I, with a salary of 1,000 pounds and the usage for the first time of his coat of arms. In 1620, he became Lord Proprietor of the Province of Avalon, in Newfoundland, having purchased this colony from Sir William Vaughn. Calvert had been most interested in the American Colonies, and this purchase promised to fulfill his dreams. He had been a Provincial Councillor of the Virginia Company. He was created in 1625 Lord Baron of Baltimore, in Ireland. The Newfoundland venture failed because of the rigors of the climate. George, the First Lord Baltimore, returned to England and petitioned the King for territory adjoining that of the Virginia Company, and eventually a charter (very evidently of Calvert's drafting) for what is now Maryland was approved by the King. George Calvert m--first--November 22, 1604, Anne Mynne, b--Nov. 20, 1579, d--Aug. 12, 1622, dau--of George Mynne of Hertfordshire, d--1581, and Elizebeth Wroth, his wife, who d--1614, dau--of Sir Thomas Wroth of Durance in Enfield, Middlesex, and his wife, the Lady Mary Rich, a dau--of Richard, Lord (Chanclor) Rich, of Henery VIII's reign. Sir Thomas Wroth was at Court during the brief reign of King Edward VI, and that youthful monarch expired in his arms. His great great grandfather was Sir John Wroth, Lord Mayor of London in 1361. George Calvert, First Lord Baltimore, and Anne Mynne, his first wife, had issue the following: (1) Cecil Calvert, Second Lord Baltimore--of whom below; (2) Leonard Calvert, b--1606, who in 1635 was appointed by his brother First Governor of Maryland. Of him later; (3) Anne Calvert, m--about 1632, William Peasley, Esq.; (4) George Calvert, d--unm--in 1634; (5) Dorothy Calvert, m--James Talbott; (6) Francis Calvert, d--without issue; (7) Henery Calvert, d--unm--in 1635; (8) Elizebeth Calvert, d--unm--; (9) Grace Calvert, b--1614, m--Sir Robert Talbott.; (12) Philip Calvert, b--1626, d--1682; came to Md. in 1656 and was Chancellor for many years; in 1669 he was Deputy Governor of the Province; m--twice--but d--without issue. George Calvert, First Lord Baltimore, d--before the Md. Charter was signed, and it was to his son, Cecil Calvert, IInd Lord Baltimore, that Charles I handed it at last with his signature and the privy seal. Anne (Mynne) Calvert, d--in 1621. He placed with his own hands a monument to her: "A Woman Born to All Excellent Things-- Piety, Chastity, Prudence--Incomparable." She was buried at St. Mary's Church in an altar tomb in Hertingfordbury, Ireland. Her age was forty-two years.
