Ca12 Anne Marie Calvert was possibly the daughter of Sir
George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, and Anne Mynne although

date and place not hers, as parents married 1604 )

It would seem a strange coincidence if the next generation of the Beall family should have settled
in Calvert, Maryland, and played such a prominent role in the founding of Maryland without there being some connection to the family of Sir George Calvert, 1st Lord Baltimore,
for whom the town is named. Although it does seem a bit odd yet hardly unusual for the daughter of a newly created Baron in London under King James I of England and VI of Scotland
to have been married off to a far off Scottish gentleman in Fife.
Most likely this was part of a plan of James I's to end the centuries of war between Scotland and England and unite his two kingdoms by intermarrying prominent Scottish
and English families. And so too we may sense a continuation of this scheme as a balanced selection of a handful of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish families to form the upper class in Maryland and vigorously intermarrying among themselves for generations
and forming a well integrated colony devoid of the old jealousies and animosities, where religious toleration became a part of Maryland law early on.
Calvert is a small unincorporated town in Cecil County, Maryland, USA, about 6 miles east of Rising Sun, Maryland. It is named for George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. Using the Intersection of 272 and 273 in Maryland, head south on 272 until you reach Brick Meetinghouse Road on the right, make a right here and follow this road until it turns into Calvert Road at the top of the hill. The center of the town is the Cross Keys Inn (Cross Keys Tavern) that was established there on the old Post Road (which is now Calvert Road) in 1774. The Post Road was the main road that ran in between Philadelphia and Baltimore during Revolutionary times. Directly next to the Cross Keys Inn (which is now a private brick residence), is the Calvert Elementary School, operated by Cecil County Public Schools. The main historical reference in Calvert is the "East Nottingham Friends House" at this intersection. William Smallwood a revolutionary war General used this building as a hospital for a short time in 1778. Several of the soldiers who died at this hospital are buried outside the building. |
