This is the son of Robert Covert/Colvert/Calvert and Charity Grey of Charles Co.,Maryland. Your link to this family line below. Robert Covert, Colvert, Calvert, was transported to Westmoreland Co.,Va., I remember someone got land for transporting him, he's from England. This Robert Colvert Sr. was married to Charity Grey {sic Bruce}. We have DNA participants from their son Robert Colvert Jr. in the Calvert DNA genealogy project.
Robert Colvert Jr., married a Mastin that married second a Woodyard, brother of Samuel Colvert who died 1823 in Culpeper Co.,Va. Lanty, Asa and Mastin Colvert were sons of Robert Colvert Jr., Lanty nick name for Lancelot, they lived in Fauquier Co.,Va. We have DNA participants for Asa and Mastin but that's off the top of my head, we have others matching up to them, that don't have the paper work documented back that far, but when I tried to match that DNA participant up, it was leading to Samuel Colvert of Culpeper Co.,Va.,

Ed Woodyard worked on this specific family line traced them back with documents.
