Capt. George Calvert was a captain in the Revolution. He made his home in Culpeper County, Va., for the greater part of his life, going later to Bourbon County, Ky., where some of his children had settled.
Capt. Calvert is considered to be a descendant of Gov. Leonard Calvert (1606-47), son of George Calvert (1579-1632)(Oxford 1597, M.A. 1605), of England, who became Lord Baltimore, of Longford County, Ireland by a grant of a 2,300-acre manor from King James I. Governor Calvert led the expedition from England in 1633 aboard the ships Ark and Dove and formed the settlement in 1634, at St. Mary's, Md., the fourth permanent English settlement in America. He was the first governor of Maryland, 1637-43, 1645-47. Maryland was founded in 1632 by a grant of 12,000 square miles from King Charles I (1600-49), of England, to Cecil Calvert (1605-75), as heir of his father, George Calvert (1579-1632). See Sarah Ann Calvert Thompson (1810-90) ID 119135575 for a lineage of the Calverts. In George Calvert's daughter memorial, Hannah Calvert Link ID 158051161, it is stated that there is no documentation George Calvert was a descendant of the Lord Baltimore family. If he were it would be likely he would be a wealthy landowner in Maryland, Catholic and his grave and that of his wife would not be lost. Those aren't true for George.
