Debi, Here is the full text about Charles Calvert, who married Mary Howson. Charles was the proven son of William Calvert of Maryland. This is a well known line of the Calvert family. Let me know if you descend from either Sarah Howson Calvert or Ann Calvert. I can help here also. If this text gets scrambled, I can send it as a separate file. For anyone else searching early lines of the Calverts, I have the first 130 pages of O'Gorman as computer text file. George Calvert [email protected] 16.

Charles Calvert to his Daughters, Part I.) Apr. 9, 1705. Charles Calvert assigned 200 acres in Northern Neck of Virginia. to Wllliam Fitzhugh (Stafford county Book Z, p. 277.)

Charles Calvert of Virginia gave a Power-of-Attorney to his cousin Thomas Sprigg. (Book C- p.206, Prince George county, Maryland.) For a number of years Charles Calvert was in litigation in Maryland.

The will of Charles Calvert, 1733, leaves to his daughters Sarah Howson and Ann. each one shilling.

Issue of Charles and Mary (Howson) Calvert: 26+ i. Sarah Howson Calvert b. abt. 1694; m. Nathaniel Jones. 27+ ii. Ann Calvert b. abt. 1696; m. Thomas Porter.
Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm getting there. Now I just need to find the records of the marriage of Nathaniel & Sarah however I also have the will of Nathaniel which states Sarah Howson Calvert as his wife. Everything from there works out so I guess the line is just about proven. I'd like to get the copies of the references listed in this note, and then, voilia. Ah, don't I wish I could do this with all my lines....... Thanks again everyone & Barb!
