"Some fourteen years after the death of Leonard Calvert, or in orabout 1661 appeared in Maryland a youth of not more than 18 years ofage who declared himself to be William Calvert, Esq., the son and heirof Leonard Calvert. From subsequent law suits it is implied thatCecilius, Lord Baltimore, an uncle of the orphan, had been hisguardian -- thus indicating that he was raised in England.
"At that time Mistress Margaret Brent had retired from the Marylandscene and in her old age was residing at her plantation in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Former Governor Stone had passed on, but in1660 he had willed Governor's Fields to his relict, Madam VerlindaStone, who was in possession at the time young Calvert made hisdramatic entrance into the Province. Thomas Stone, Esq., the son andheir , claimed contingency in the property, while Madam Stone who issometime thought to be his step-mother, claimed her dower rights.
"William Calvert through Thomas Manning, the Attorney-General of theProvince, instituted court action for the possession of his father 'slanded estate. It was stated in the bill of complaint "that in theabsence of the said heire William Stone, the late Governor of thisProvince, did unto the said land unlawfully enter." The AttorneyGeneral furthermore stated that "Leonard Calvert died seized and sothe land unto William Calvert sonne and heire unto the said LeonardCalvert did descend."
"Mistress Margaret Brent, then aged 60, came forth from her retirementand stated in a deposition that "I never did make any conveyance ofthe house and land of St. Mary's which formerly was Leonard Calvert,Esq. to Captain William Stone and that neither he nor the heirs ofsaid William Stone hath any right or title." The jury recognized thepaternity of William Calvert and the land was restored to him afterdispossession by the Stones.
For another account, see COLONIAL VIRGINIAS AND THEIR MARYLANDRELATIVES, Norma Tucker, Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, 1994,pg 177-8:
"Fourteen years after his father's death, William Calvert, then age18, arrived in Maryland. He found Madam Verlinda Stone, then a widow,in possession of his father's mansion, "Governor's Fields," and suedfor possession. The suit suggested that he and sister Anne had beenreared in England by his Uncle Cornelius Calvert. Although Verlindaand her son Thomas claimed right to the property, Mistress MargaretBrent, then aged 60, stated, "I never did make any conveyance of thehouse and land of St. Mary's which formerly was Leonard Calvert, Esq.,to Capt. William Stone and that neither he nor the heirs of saidWilliam Stone hath any right or title." (The Flowering of the Maryland Platinate, Harry Wright Newman, Genealogical Pub.

IMMIGRANTS NAMED SPARKS WHO CAME TO MARYLAND BEFORE 1675
By Paul E. Sparks
That part of North America now called Maryland was first settled bywhite people in 1631 when William Claiborne came over from the colonyof Virginia and established a trading post on Kent Island. He remainedwithout neighbors until 1634 when the first colonists, led by LeonardCalvert, arrived from England in the vessels called the ARK and theDOVE, and founded the county of St. Marys. The future of the colony(named Terrae Marie or Maryland in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria) wasassured. Thereafter, settlers from England poured in by shipload aftershipload.
Each freeman who came to Maryland was given 100 acres of land forhimself, his wife, and each child over age sixteen. In addition, hewas given 50 acres for each child under age sixteen and for each"servant" he brought with him. "Servants" were persons brought in forhire and obligated to work or in some other manner pay for theirtransportation. In general, these persons were farmers, mechanics,masons, carpenters, shipbuilders, and often they were educated clerksand teachers.
Generally speaking, the lot of a servant was not especiallyunpleasant. The indenture usually lasted from two to six years and atthe end provision was made to give him or her a degree ofindependence. In the case of a male servant, he was given fifty acresof land, an ox, a gun, two hoes, and a modest amount of clothing. Ifthe servant were a female, she received a skirt, waistcoat, apron,smock, cap, shoes and stockings, and three barrels of Indian corn.
This provision for encouraging new colonist8 proved so popular thatseven years after the colony was established the land allowance wasreduced from 100 acres to 50 acres for adults and to 25 acres for eachchild under age sixteen. In like manner, the early liberal allowanceof land for transporting colonists was tightened. Initially thetransportation of five men was worth 2000 acres, but in 1636 this waschanged to require the transportation of ten men for this amount ofland, and in 1641 it was again changed to require twenty men and womento be worth 2000 acres
In many cases, the servant paid for his transportation by simplytransferring the acreage he was to receive as a new colonist to theperson who transported him. In turn, the person who provided thetransportation might transfer his right to the land to another personwho had no actual part in arranging or providing the transportation.
The system was finally abolished in 1683.
In the index which follows, the names of many colonists have beenomitted and in cases where there were many names, only those settlersnamed SPARKS have been included in the interest of brevity. In futureissues of the QUARTERLY, we hope to be able to trace further therecord of these Sparks immigrants to Maryland.

See THE FLOWERING OF THE MARYLAND PALATINATE, Harry Wright Newman ,Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, 1985; pg 180-3:
"The entire early history of Maryland centered around the life ofLeonard Calvert, Esq., the sixth child but second son of George, firstBaron of Baltimore. Several Maryland historians, as mentionedelsewhere, have given credit to Captain Thomas Cornwalys as theprincipal stabilizing influence in the formative days of the Provinceand have penned Leonard Calvert as more or less a weak administratorholding office only by virtue of birth. There is a French saying,"Style is Man himself". When reading and analyzing the extant lettersof Gov ernor Calvert to his brother and also to his business partner,the self-expression is forceful, direct and certainly is notindicative of a character embodied with indecision and vacillation.He was onl y twenty-three when he embarked on the task of consummatinghis father's plans in the New World, but he had already been in Avalonand at Jamestown and knew the country and economic conditions and thevaried problems needed to guide the colonists. He had difficultquestions to solve and naturally sought council when important mattersarose.
"He is undoubtedly the "....Caulford fil Mr. George" who was baptisedon November 21, 1610, at the parish church of St. Martin's in theFields, London, according to the rites of the Established Church ofEngland. It was in this same church that the younger children ofGeorge Calvert were baptized, so it is only natural that his baptismlikewise occurred there.
"The one great mystifying element was his personal life. There is noevidence of a marriage before sailing in November 1633 for Maryland,and he certainly led the life of a bachelor in Maryland for ten ormore years until his return to England in April 1643, leaving hisfriend, Giles Brent, Esq. the acting Governor.
"He remained away from Maryland for about 17 months, and during thatperiod in England, according to tradition, he begot two children--William and Anne. He returned to his post in Maryland and presumablyleft the infants in the care of a nurse. The mother or his consortdid not accompany him.
"It has generally been stated in print with absolutely nodocumentation that he married Anne, one of the many daughters ofRichard Brent, of Stokes, Gloucestershire, and sister to Giles,Fulkes, Margaret, and Mary, all of whom came to Maryland. No proof ofthis marriage can be found. Although Mistress Anne Brent no doubt sawGovernor Calvert during his visit to England, as the two families hadbeen intimate before the settlement of Maryland, she continued to livea single life in England, and in 1651 was listed as a nonjurorspinster. ( See Mrs. Russell Hastings' notes in Maryland History vol22, p. 307. ) A diligent search has been made in England for proof ofhis marriage, or the mother of his children, but with failure eachtime.
"Although baptized in the Established Church, Leonard Calvert hadfollowed his father upon his affiliation with the Church of Rome . Atthe time of his visit in England, the Puritans were becoming everstronger in power and had directed many harsh and unreasonable laws.The Roman Catholic Church was outlawed and priests of that church wereforbidden to perform the major and minor sacraments of their faith.If a marriage ceremony was performed, it was certainly solemnized insecrecy, and thus no public record is available. The mention of awife at no time appears in the Calvert Papers, or among the Archivesof Maryland. If his children figured as heirs in the wills or estatesof their maternal parent, the matter has not come to light, so theirmaternity remains an unsolved question.
"When Leonard Calvert was ill and realized that his end was near, hemade no mention whatsoever of his two children or their mother . Withhim were Mistress Margaret Brent, and his friend Thomas Greene,Francis Ankatill the priest, and Madam Mary Beane. Thomas Greenetestified in court that Leonard Calvert lying on his death bed aboutsix hours before his passing, "directed his speech to Mistress Brent"and said "I make you my sole Executrix. Take all and pay all." Hethen requested every one to leave the room except Mistress Brent withwhom he conferred privately for some time. Thomas Greene returned tothe room, then he bequeathed his cloth suit to his servant, RichardWillan, his black suit to his servant James Lindsay, and his linenbetween them. To his Godson Leonard Greene, he bequeathed a marecolt, and "the first mare colt that shall fall within the year or ifnone falleth within the yeare then the first mare colt that shall hereafter fall unto Mrs. Temperance Tippett, of Virginia."
"Governor Calvert furthermore upon his death bed appointed ThomasGreene to succeed him as Proprietary Governor. It was the case of"The King is Dead. Long live the King", for there was much toastingand celebrating the next day for the new Governor was the choice ofthe conservatives and the court party.
"The interment in all likelihood occurred at St. Mary's City, thoughthe place where his remains repose is now unknown. Being a devoutRoman Catholic, he was without a doubt buried in consecrated ground orinterred in the town's parish Church -- most likely the latter, forpeers and prominent men of State were usually buried in Churches orCathedrals.
"His nuncupative will was proved at court on June 14, 1647. Theinventory was made by Captain John Price, Nicholas Causin, and RobertPercy, and filed at court on June 30, 1647. Among the items listedwere a large house located at Piney Neck, three manors, a large framehouse with 100 acres of townland, and thirteen books.
"Only personalty could be bequeathed by a nuncupative will, but theamazing Amazon, Mistress Margaret Brent, exercised literally herprerogatives in the Governor's last words when he said "take all", andimmediately possession was taken of the Governor's mansion in St.Mary's City. She furthermore assumed feudal rights on his threebaronial manors and installed in some manner, her sister MistressMary, on St. Gabriel's Manor who functioned as Lady of the Manor withall baronial grace and privileges. Her appearance before the firstAssembly called by Governor Greene demanding a seat, something totallyunheard of for a woman of that period, has been widely popularized,but her aggressiveness was soon thwarted, for the stalwarts of tht daywanted no petticoat rule outside of their private dwellings.
"It is sometime wondered if Mistress Margaret were aware that GovernorCalvert had left a legal male heir to his landed estate and a daughterwho was entitled to her filial share of the personalty. His deathoccurred a little more than three years after his return from England,and in his closing hours he expressed no concern or affections for hischildren or wife nor provided for them in any manner -- yet Margaretdid not reveal the private conference while the others were out of theroom. If she did have knowledge of his children, no evidence isforthcoming from the extant archives, letters and other documents ofthat period.
"Governor's Fields, the townland and residence of Governor Calvert,had in 1641 been assigned to Nathaniel Pope, who reconveyed it toCalvert by bargain and sale on January 4, 1646/7. The mansion onGovernor's Fields was later occupied by Governor William Stone, thethird Proprietary Governor, who had continued to occupy it long afterhis tenure of office whenever he was not residing at his countrymanori al estate on the Avon in Charles County."

BARTON WARREN STONE 5spouse: Russell, Tabitha (*1753 - )
(1772 - 1844)
Barton Warren Stone, son of John and Mary (Warren) Stone, was bornDecember 24, 1772, in Port Tobacco Parish, Charles County, Maryland.He was baptized in the Anglican faith of his ancestors and seems tohave professed this faith until his migration to an unsettled sectionof Virginia.
About the year 1779 his widowed mother and older brothers and sisterssettled in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and located in Dan RiverValley near the North Carolina border. In 1790 with the intentions ofaccepting the traditional profession of the Stones, he entered theacademy at Guilford, North Carolina, to prepare himself for the studyof law. About this time or before he had joined the PresbyterianChurch and finding himself more interested in religion than law heentered the ministry of the so-called Orange Presbytery.
Soon after his acceptance of the ministry as a livelihood, he joinedhis older brother, Matthew, in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and thereat Washington, the county seat, he taught languages at the MethodistSeminary. He later returned to North Carolina and after itinerant andbombastic Preaching throughout Tennessee he settled in Kentucky andtook charge of the churches at Cane Ridge and Concord.
Losing gradually on the frontier the conservative and culturalbirthrights of the Maryland Stones, he wandered from the Presbyterianfaith of the Scots and found himself seized with that crude religiousfrenzy which was gripping the pioneer sections of the country andfinding thousands of converts from among the great American middleclass. In the midst of those great religious revivals he became
associated with Alexander Campbell and his followers known as"Campbellites" or which is more popularly known today as the Disciplesof Christ or Christian Church.
On July 2, 1801, Barton Warren Stone married Eliza, the daughter ofWilliam and Tabitha (Russell) Campbell.
