Thanks, David. Do you have any references that indicate the 11 siblings of George--he had 11 children by 2 wives! Jerry Bruhn wrote that all his were secondary references and published much earlier than the one I have, listing Mary as George's sister. James Foster, Director of the Maryland Historical Society, attempted to write a definitive work on George Calvert, but died before its completion. Posthumously, the Maryland Historical Society published the first section as George Calvert: The Early Years. I agree with you as I lack Mary or any otther sibling, save one brother Christopher whose name appears in a Yorkshire High Commission report and is not mentioned in any additional information found on the early years of George Calvert. I also agree that a Mary Calvert married Isaac Chaplain and emigrated to Virginia. I believe, however, that Chaplain's Choice was on the south bank of the James River in Virginia, not Maryland. Thanks for the help and encouragement.

Whether this is your Mary or not, there are many who believe that George had 11 siblings or there were 11 children altogether, including info > published at So Md Online.
