This is the titled line (page1 and 16) George Calvert was appointed clerk of the crown in Connaught and Clare in 1606, clerk of the council in 1608, returned to parliament for Bossiney in 1609. He was sent by King James I on a mission to Ireland in 1613 to investigate various grievances. He was knighted in 1617. Declared himself Roman Catholic February 12, 1625 and shortly there after was make Baron Baltimore of Baltimore³ (Buckey page 77).
The Maryland colonial and current state flag used a combination of the Calvert and Crossland coat of arms. George Calvert died before taking possession of the lands and his 1st son, Cecil Calvert born 1605 (not listed here), inherited both lands and title according to the law of primogeniture. Cecil Calvert appointed his younger brother Leonard Calvert born 1606 (not listed here) the first Governor of Maryland. Leonard Calvert brought the Maryland flag over in 1634 (Crossland.). Leonard Calvert was the second son of George Calvert. Leonard's grandmother's family's name was Croffland. Written in the runic alphabet, the name meant farmland, as in crofters. Transliterated into the Latin alphabet, the flowing f's became esses - Crossland.

Newark or Kennett Monthly Meeting
Of Chester County, Pa., and New Castle County, Delaware. Established in 1686._
"Name: Thomas Calvert
son of John Calvert,2 "of Moore Some3 (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. At Ulster Province Meeting, 4 Mo. 7, 1680, £1. 13. 9d. was paid to Thomas Calvert for the apothecary at Carrickfergus, evidently for attendance on Friends confined in Carrickfergus jail; for on 6 Mo. 6, 1681, L. Alyson and T. Calvert were directed to supply the wants of prisoners there, £2. 10s being appropriated for the purpose. In 1681, Thomas Calvert, of Parish of Carrickfergus, County Antrim, had some hay and oats, valued at 11s., taken for tithes.1
Children of Thomas and Jane Calvert:
1. John, born 8 Mo. 6, 1648, near Belfast.
2. Ann, born about 9 Mo. 1650, in Killwarlin, near Hillsbrough, County Down.
3. Margaret, born about 4 Mo. 24, 1661, at Killurigan, Parish of Sego, County Armagh.
4. Elizabeth, born 4 Mo. 26, 1664, in County Armagh; m. 10 Mo. 25, 1701, at Ballyhagen Meeting, Thomas Toppen, of Ballyhagen, County Armagh."
5 CALVERT, Thomas born about 1617 Lygasory, Lurgan, Armaugh Ireland; died December 17, 1685 PA; Left a will; Quaker.
The only thing we know for sure is that this is the progenitor of "The Calverts who were Quakers" and this history will begin with what is in most part a matter of Quaker Church records.
Jon Egg suggests that "Buckey's theory has the merit of having "time and location" agreement. In the early part of his life in America, John Chenoweth is found in the Philadelphia area, reasonably close to where Mary's parents settled. Families of these Calverts later relocated to the Frederick County area of Virginia as did John Chenoweth and three of his sons. Family tradition has it that William Chenoweth, the first born grandson, married Ruth Calvert, the daughter of Isaac Calvert, then of Frederick County. This Isaac, was a nephew of the Mary Calvert that Buckey has found. Like Mary, no written documentation has been found proving the family tradition at William's wife was indeed Ruth Calvert. William, Jr. did however name one of his sons, Isaac Calvert Chenoweth."
