Aug. 14, 1999 Re. Wm. M. Calvert. One is listed #310 s/o Gerard Calvert & Rosanna McIlvain, Ky people. Wm. m. Calvert # 810 s/o John Thompson Calvert and Frances More or Moore. B. 1834 m. Arlene Sigler. His line: John, Spencer, Wm., Geo., Geo., Wm., Leonard, Lord Batimore. He and his wife had 10 children. Wm. M. Calvert #2152 b. 1850 s/o BLuford Calvert & Catherine----- KY. Wm's line: Bluford , Reuben, Thomas, Geo., Geo., Wm., Leonard, Lord B. No further info. on this Wm. M. Cannon was mentioned. That name appears in my Woodson line. Wm. Cannon m. Sarah Moseby and he was prob. a desc. of Wm. Cannon who m. Judith Woodson. The Woodson family was in VA. A lot of connections. Dr. John Woodson was killed by Indians late 17th cent. VA. Two sons: John & Robert. John m. Mary Tucker and a granddau or g. grand. Martha m. John Cannon. This branch of the family connects later to MO and a descendant was gov. of MO. Col. Robert Woodson (my ancestor) had a dau. Judith who m. Wm. Cannon. This family connets to Porter, Lewis, Payne, Tucker, Watkins, There were Cannons of TN also connected to the family. I have Judith's line, but can't locate it at the moment. But from what I gather the Cannon batch were pretty imp. Barbara M. Calvert
Carolyn: I have a Calvert line from Norfork Virginia. Cornalius Calvert fr Eng to VA abt 1700, and was a merchant. His son, also Cornalius, was a mayor of Norfork. Family of Nobel birth in England.

It has nothing remotely connected to our case. I would like to ask the list two things: a) What is the exact reference to "The Lookout," Is it perhaps a a genealogical newsletter from Eastern Tennessee? b) Does anyone have the exact quote from the Finch Bible? When was it in the possession of Lee Finch of Bosworth? Since one of our William's daughters married Thomas Finch, this may be the best shot at establishing who his parents were.

Aug. 13, 1999 Hi everyone, Lots of time, I have no knowledge to fill in re the digest. I will see what I can find in the MO. area as I get the MO Hist. Soc. mailings. Sources that I have used tracing down mainly Brent, Anne who m. Leonard s/o Lord Baltmore. She carries the royal line for the VA Calverts. Sources: MAGNA CHARTER SURETIES 1215, by Frederick Weiss. ANCESTRAL ROOTS by the same author. MAGNA CHARTA BARONS by Charles Browning. AMERICANS OF ROYAL DESCENT by Charles Browning. ROYALTY FOR COMMONERS, by Roderick W. Stuart. Also some pages of Calverts in VA etc. not the MD Calverts by Nicklin. There is also ROYAL DESCENTS OF 500 IMMIGRANTS to the American Colonies of the United States, by Gary Boyd Roberts. That can be ordered from Genealogical Publishing Co. Of course, O'Gorman, who made a few errors, but all of the above also have errors. This is about it for me. Will try to check on MO but at this moment am swamped with more research than I can handle. Barbara Calvert
My Ggrandfather was William M. Calvert, that is how I got into the Calvert clan. We have never been able to find our direct connection to the Lord Baltimore group.

I am not sure where the Calverts in my family came from as I am new to doing this I do not always know where to go next. I have a BUD CALVERT married to MARTHA DAKE who had MARSHELL DON CALVERT (B)1874/(D) 1940 married to GEORGIA ANN CURRIE,(B) 6/19/1872 (D) 7/13/a957 I do not know if Marshell had any brothers or sisters. He did have ETHEL ESTELL (MARTIN) , WILLIAM DON, OTTIE DEWEY, TRUDY MYRRTLE (MORTON), DELMER LEON, CALLIE ALMA (PURDY), ROY ALVIS CALVERT. The first three were born in Cottondale, Wise county, Texas and the next Three in Ryan, Jefferson county, Oklahoma, Roy was born in Melrose, N. Mex. I hope to find out where they came from and who Bud Calvert is, I do not know his full name. Thank you for any help you can give.If you need any thing in Washington State I will do all I can to help.

By this act, the title was deemed by the Crown to have expired with Frederick. There would be no more Lords Baltimore. .........That descriptive event took place in 1781 when the Governor of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, commissioned one George Calvert, age 70, a descendant of Leonards line and cousin to a Omer Ts great-great grandfather, as a Captain in the Virginia Militia. The Governors action is significant for a number of reasons and points up the differences that had evolved between the titled Calverts of England and those who settled in America. Whatever else this George may have done , Jefferson was also an astute politician and must have recognized the importance of this appointment in the midst of the Revolution then in progress. Governor Jefferson himself was a substantial landowner and his democratic leanings notwithstanding, under normal circumstances would probably not have offered a commission to a citizen of lesser standing, particularly one of such advanced years. The commission was partially a gesture of respect to a pillar of the community. And partially, it wasnt.
