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.
