Well, I am not certain either since I am getting this information from websites, but here is what I found: Leonard Calvert b. 1550 m. Alicia Crossland (he was a farmer and she was nobility) had: John Calvert b. about 1574 George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) b. 1578 Christopher Calvert b. about 1580 Mary Calvert b. 1588 Leonard Calvert b. ? Thomas Calvert b. ? Ann Calvert who m. Valentine Hollingsworth was the granddaughter of John Calvert b. about 1574 (m. Grace) through his son Thomas Calvert b. 1617 who m. Jane Glasford. One genealogy library book (don't have title) did not list John Calvert as a son of Leonard Calvert and Alicia Crossland but this conflicts with some websites I am finding. I would love to pin this down better and welcome all corrections and additions. Ruth Gravitt

According to Buckey's book "The History of the Calverts who were Quakers", the earliest progenitor was John Calvert, b. c. 1587/9 and buried at Drumgorr, Ireland, having arrived in Northern Ireland c. 1617, from Moorsham, Yorkshire, married Grace and settled in Lurgan, County Armagh. Their children were Thomas, possibly Leonard and possibly Mary. Thomas Calvert (b. 1617 at Lygasory- d. Dec 17, 1685 in PA, married Jane Glassford Nov. 11, 1647 Thomas's children were John, Ann, Margaret and Elizabeth. Ann (c. Nov 1650 in Killwarin, near Hillsborough, County Down--Oct 17, 1697 in Delaware) married Valentine Hollingsworth on June 12,1672(b. c. Aug 1632-1710/11 in Delaware) There is more in Buckey about Hollingsworths and Calverts. According to Mr. Foster's book, "George Calvert: the Early Years" (I can't find my copy at the moment), George had one sibling-Christopher who is only mentioned in passing as having to be sent to an Anglican tutor, along with George. Additionally, Mr. Foster mentions that the Calvert name was abundent in the area of the Ridings but that the relationships were too convoluted to work out. Having similar given names within the families may be the cause of some confusion. I don't know whether this helps or hinders your research.

Quotes from James W. Foster "George Calvert: The Early Years": p.25 "The Calverts had been known for generations in Yorkshire, and families of that name were established in each of the three ridings, though they may not all have descended from a single stock." p.26"The Calvert name is associates with Kiplin as early as 1570 when "Jenkyn alias John Calvert de Kypling" was involved in a legal proceeding, the full record of which is now lost. He was probably a near relative of John Calvert of Oulcotes, Parish of Arncliffe, some 25 miles to the west, who died in 1565 naming a Leonard Calvert as one of the supervisiors of his will. John of Oulcotes had a son Christopher, a name as we shall see, borne by another son of Leonard Calvert of Kiplin. Oulcotes, atop the Pennine Ridge and beyond the border of the North Riding, in the West Riding, was the place of residence of many Calverts. We may surmise that it was from thence the Kiplin branch derived. p.35 "Another family closely associated with the Calverts were the Smithsons. Geroge Calvert's sister Dorothy married Christopher Smithson of Moulton North Riding...Sons of Christopher and Dorothy Smithson were named Leonard, Calvert and George." p.37 "The orders of the Yorkshire High Commission relating to Leonard Calvert and his family as abstracted by Father Aveliing for the Acts Books, are as follows: ... p.38, Oct. 23, 1592 Leonard Calvert, gent, bonded in L100 that Geroge Calvert and Christopher Calvert, his sons, shall hereafter learn with Mr. Fowberry now schollmaster at Bilton and shall not depart from him without license. If required, his is to bring them to the Commissioners once a quarter to see how they perfect in learning." There is a further order on May 15, 1593 that mentions both George and Christopher, but no additional children either male or female are mentioned in any of the numerous orders. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Rngrav@aol.com> To: <CALVERT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [CALVERT] CALVERT Suit against BALTIMORE? > Well, I am not certain either since I am getting this information from > websites, but here is what I found: > > Leonard Calvert b. 1550 m.
