  • Notes 
    • Charles Capt. {Lazenby} Calvert married Rebecca Gerard and mentions two daughters in his estate records.

      I only had Elizabeth Calvert as a daughter who married Benedict Swingate Calvert.

      in the following 1767 deed, Jemima Brashears w/o John Brashear s/o John relinquished her right to the rest and residue of the moiety as did the above Elizabeth Calvert.

      does this mean this is the un-named daughter? Jemima Calvert? or is she Jemima Wells d/o Nathaniel Wells and Mary Duckett (and she married William Holmes first?)
