John Calvert (Yorkshire, England, 1587), son of Leonard Calvert (abt 1550), son of John Calvert Cassell:
Baltimore (of Baltimore), Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron
Encyclopædia Britannica Article
born August 27, 1637, England
died February 21, 1715, London
English statesman who was commissioned governor of Maryland in 1661 and succeeded as proprietor of the colony in 1675.
Like his grandfather, George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, Charles Calvert was a Roman Catholic, and anti-Catholic feeling was strong among Maryland's Protestant majority. Matters were further aggravated by the hostility of the Susquehanna Indians, as well as by Calvert's need to defend his territorial jurisdiction against claims by William Penn to the north. Antagonism in the Maryland Assembly led Calvert in 1670 to restrict the suffrage by property qualifications and occasionally to set aside acts of the legislature. Finally, after the Revolution of 1688 in England, he was deprived of the province. He returned to England and was later accused of taking part in two Roman Catholic plots but was never arrested.
His son, Benedict Leonard Calvert (4th Baron Baltimore), conformed to the established Church of England in 1713 and thereupon had the colony of Maryland restored to him.
Immigration of Irish Quakers to Pennsylvania, p 316, states, quoting the Registers of Lurgan Meeting, County Armagh, that " Thomas Calvert, son of John Calvert, 'of Moore Some (neere Gisbrough) Yorkshire, and wife Grace, was born in 1617 at Lygasory, near Lurgan, County Armagh, and about 9 mo. 11, 1647 married Jane Glasford, daughter of Hugh Glasford and wife Margaret, of Stranmillis (nere Belfast) County Antrim.
John Calvert was of the same kin as the Calverts, Lords Baltimore and Proprietor of Maryland; for he came into Ireland prior to 1617, from Moorsham, Yorkshire, only about 25 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 Co., Pa. made a deposition before the Mayor Philadelphia in connection with the boundary dispute between the Penn family 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 in the course of conversation during the evening " the said Talbot enquiring into the place from whence this affirmant'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" ......other information is listed as well.
