I don't know if this helps or just adds to the confusion: Helen Wolseley mentions 'cousin' Jane Lowe who married a Calvert and became Lady Baltimore. [MD Hist. Vol 51 #1, The Lowes of Denby.] Unfortunately I didn't copy it. Helen was a cousin of Mary Wolseley Brooke (Roger), and niece ? to Anne Wolseley who married Phillip Calvert " My cousin Mary Wolseley went to our Aunt Calvert and was married to a Mr Brooke....her father was Walter Wolseley he was my grandfathers Sir Thomas Wolseley's son, elder brother to my father of Wolseley Bridge in Staffordshire. " Helen Wolseley Spratt was married to Thomas Spratt DD Bishop of Rochester. Mary Wolseley ( abt 1643-1705) was the second wife of Roger Brooke of Calvert County. Roger's brother Basil also married a Calvert. I have the Wolseley line back to Edward I but no mention of Lowe, so perhaps Helen was just referring to Jane Lowe as cousin in a friendly way, not a familial one? Early wills of Md can be requested from the Maryland Archives, I have been collecting those of my Stone, Dawson, Mackall families. I think it is about $10 and a wait, even if you go there they won't copy them that day. It can be a little pricey so I am working my way back and with multiple MD lines I have not reached the Lowes yet, but I agree that original sources are the best. Ris
