General Notes (Husband)

---

n 1680 and 81, in Carrickfergus Parish, he was alottted money by Ulster Province Meeting, to tend to the needs of Friends in jail. Also recorded as having paid tithes.

His son, John Calvert, came with his siblings and probably John, and not Thomas, to Upper Proidence TWP, near Delaware County, PA. FAmily collectively owned atleast 700 acres, most of it probably managed by one or two siblings for the others who probably didn't come to this country.

Thomas Calvert's family was I1a, as nearly as I can tell, Saxon. This means that Saxons or Danes most likely brought it to England, though it could also have crossed the Channel with Celtic migrations from the region of the Netherlands.

Calvert family were prominent in the founding of Maryland a generation later. But DNA analysis suggests that that was a different family. On the Calvert DNA project web site and Y Search, Maryland Calvert's are consistently R1b1, and not easy to tell if they are related to each other. Based on the below, there is such good reason to think a relationship existed between the families that a nonpaternity event early in their histories could possibly account for the genetic difference. On the other hand, the origin of the name Calvert is not known. Not all that unlikely for two unrelated families living near each other in rural England to share teh same surname. Maybe tehy worked for someone named Calvert, lived on his manor, or lived in some forgotten village of that name.

From "Immigration of the Irish Quakers":

It is possible that John Calvert was of the same kin as the Calverts, Lords Baltimore and Proprietors of Maryland; for he came into Ireland prior to 1687, from Moorsham, Yorkshire, only about twenty-five miles from Kilpin, in the same county, where about 1580 was born George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore (son of Leonard Calvert, a well to do country gentleman, by Alice Crosland, his wife, and grandson of John Calvert) --"

"In the latter part of the 17th century there was a presumption that such a relationship existed; for on June 4, 1735, Samuel Hollingsworth, of Chester County, made a deposition before the Mayor of Philadelphia, in connection with the boundary dispute between the Penns and Lord Baltimore, that in 1683 one Colonel Talbot and a party of Lord Baltimore's surveyors were the guests one night at the home of his father, Valentine Hollingsworth, in New Castle County; and that in the course of conversation during the evening "the said Talbot enquiring into the Place fro whnce the affirmat's father and Mother came and the maiden name of his mother, which was Calvert, the said Colonel Talbot invited this affirmant's father to come down and live in Maryland, assuring him his Lordship would be very kind to him on account of his wife's having been a Calvert". --McFarlan-STern Genealogy, 58. Mary Calvertand William Whiteside, were married 3 Mo 27, 1696, by Friends' ceremony at the house of Thomas Calvert near Carrickfergus."
