See THE FLOWERING OF THE MARYLAND PALATINATE, Harry Wright Newman ,Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1985, pg 183-4:
"Some fourteen years after the death of Leonard Calvert, or in orabout 1661 appeared in Maryland a youth of not more than 18 years of agewho declared himself to be William Calvert, Esq., the son and heir ofLeonard Calvert. From subsequent law suits it is implied that Cecilius,Lord Baltimore, an uncle of the orphan, had been his guardian -- thusindicating 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 Westmore landCounty, Virginia. Former Governor Stone had passed on, but in 1660 hehad willed Governor's Fields to his relict, Madam Verlinda Stone, who wasin possession at the time young Calvert made his dramatic entrance intothe Province. Thomas Stone, Esq., the son and heir , claimed contingencyin the property, while Madam Stone who is sometime thought to be hisstep-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 Attorney Generalfurthermore stated that "Leonard Calvert died seized and so the land untoWilliam Calvert sonne and heire unto the said Leonard Cal vert diddescend."
"Mistress Margaret Brent, then aged 60, came forth from her retirementand stated in a deposition that "I never did make any conveyance of thehouse and land of St. Mary's which formerly was Leonard Calvert, Esq. toCaptain William Stone and that neither he nor the heirs of said WilliamStone hath any right or title." The jury recognized the paternity ofWilliam Calvert and the land was restored to him after dispossession bythe Stones.

For another account, see COLONIAL VIRGINIAS AND THEIR MARYLANDRELATIVES, Norma Tucker, Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, 1994, p g177-8:
"Fourteen years after his father's death, William Calvert, then age18, arrived in Maryland. He found Madam Verlinda Stone, then a widow, inpossession of his father's mansion, "Governor's Fields," and sued forpossession. The suit suggested that he and sister Anne had been rearedin England by his Uncle Cornelius Calvert. Although Verlinda and her sonThomas claimed right to the property, Mistress Margaret Brent, then aged60, stated, "I never did make any conveyance of the house and land of St.Mary's which formerly was Leonard Calvert, Esq., to Capt. William Stoneand that neither he nor the heirs of said William Stone hath any right ortitle." (The Flowering of the Mary land Platinate, Harry Wright Newman,Genealogical Pub.

Baker Brooke, Esq., son of Robert Brooke of Calvert Co., MD ;married (2) Henry Brent, a relative of Margaret Brent; married (3 )Richard Marsham. She had issue only by her first husband, Col.

IMMIGRANTS NAMED SPARKS WHO CAME TO MARYLAND BEFORE 1675

By Paul E. Sparks

That part of North America now called Maryland was first settled by whitepeople in 1631 when William Claiborne came over from the colony ofVirginia 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 the DOVE,and founded the county of St. Marys. The future of the colony (namedTerrae Marie or Maryland in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria) was assured.Thereafter, settlers from England poured in by shipload after shipload.

Each freeman who came to Maryland was given 100 acres of land forhimself, his wife, and each child over age sixteen. In addition, he wasgiven 50 acres for each child under age sixteen and for each "servant" hebrought with him. "Servants" were persons brought in for hire andobligated to work or in some other manner pay for their transportation.In general, these persons were farmers, mechanics, masons, carpenters,shipbuilders, and often they were educated clerks and teachers.

Generally speaking, the lot of a servant was not especially unpleasant.The indenture usually lasted from two to six years and at the endprovision was made to give him or her a degree of independence. In thecase of a male servant, he was given fifty acres of land, an ox, a gun,two hoes, and a modest amount of clothing. If the 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 that sevenyears after the colony was established the land allowance was reducedfrom 100 acres to 50 acres for adults and to 25 acres for each childunder age sixteen. In like manner, the early liberal allowance of landfor transporting colonists was tightened. Initially the transportation offive men was worth 2000 acres, but in 1636 this was changed to requirethe transportation of ten men for this amount of land, and in 1641 it wasagain changed to require twenty men and women to 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 person whohad 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 been omittedand in cases where there were many names, only those settlers namedSPARKS have been included in the interest of brevity. In future issues ofthe QUARTERLY, we hope to be able to trace further the record of theseSparks immigrants to Maryland.

The book and page numbers which appear in the following list refer to thebound volumes at the Hall of Records in Annapolis, Mazyland, entitledINDEX OF EARLY SETTLERS, MARYLAND, 1633 -1680."

The following entry from the above-referenced list makes reference toWilliam Sparks, (d.1709), progenitor of this Sparks Family Tree and theseventh great-grandfather of James Joseph Sparks:

(Book 6, page 71) I, Thomas Skillingham, of the province of Maryland,do assign George Richardson all my right and title to these followingRights of Land. First for Thomas Skillingham and Mary, his wife, WILLIAMSPARKS - - - Servants in all Six, Ann Powell, Mary Webb, John Green, aswitness my hand this 2nd day of the month (sic) 1663. (signed) ThomasSkillingham.

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 mentioned elsewhere,have given credit to Captain Thomas Cornwalys as the principalstabilizing influence in the formative days of the Province and havepenned Leonard Calvert as more or less a weak administrator holdingoffice only by virtue of birth. There is a French saying, "Style is Manhimself". When reading and analyzing the extant letters of Gov ernorCalvert to his brother and also to his business partner, theself-expression is forceful, direct and certainly is not indicative of acharacter embodied with indecision and vacillation. He was onl ytwenty-three when he embarked on the task of consummating his father'splans in the New World, but he had already been in Avalon and atJamestown and knew the country and economic conditions and the variedproblems needed to guide the colonists. He had difficult questions tosolve and naturally sought council when important matters arose.
"He is undoubtedly the "....Caulford fil Mr. George" who was baptisedon November 21, 1610, at the parish church of St. Martin's in the Fields,London, according to the rites of the Established Church of England. Itwas in this same church that the younger children of George Calvert werebaptized, so it is only natural that his baptism likewise occurred there.
"The one great mystifying element was his personal life. There is noevidence of a marriage before sailing in November 1633 for Maryland, andhe certainly led the life of a bachelor in Maryland for ten or more yearsuntil his return to England in April 1643, leaving his friend, GilesBrent, 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 consort didnot accompany him.
"It has generally been stated in print with absolutely nodocumentation that he married Anne, one of the many daughters of RichardBrent, of Stokes, Gloucestershire, and sister to Giles, Fulkes, Margaret,and Mary, all of whom came to Maryland. No proof of this marriage can befound. Although Mistress Anne Brent no doubt saw Governor Calvert duringhis visit to England, as the two families had been intimate before thesettlement of Maryland, she continued to live a single life in England,and in 1651 was listed as a nonjuror spinster. ( See Mrs. RussellHastings' notes in Maryland History vol 22, p. 307. ) A diligent searchhas been made in England for proof of his marriage, or the mother of hischildren, but with failure each time.
"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. TheRoman Catholic Church was outlawed and priests of tht church wereforbidden to perform the major and minor sacraments of their faith. If amarriage ceremony was performed, it was certainly solemnized in secrecy,and thus no public record is available. The mention of a wife at no timeappears in the Calvert Papers, or among the Archives of Maryland. If hischildren figured as heirs in the wills or estates of their maternalparent, the matter has not come to light, so their maternity remains anunsolved 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, FrancisAnkatill the priest, and Madam Mary Beane. Thomas Greene testified incourt that Leonard Calvert lying on his death bed about six hours beforehis passing, "directed his speech to Mistress Brent" and said "I make youmy sole Executrix. Take all and pay all." He then requested every oneto leave the room except Mistress Brent with whom he conferred privatelyfor some time. Thomas Greene returned to the room, then he bequeathedhis cloth suit to his servant, Richard Willan, his black suit to hisservant James Lindsay, and his linen between them. To his Godson LeonardGreene, he bequeathed a mare colt, and "the first mare colt that shallfall within the year or if none falleth within the yeare then the firstmare colt that shall here after fall unto Mrs. Temperance Tippett, ofVirginia."
"Governor Calvert furthermore upon his death bed appointed ThomasGreene to succeed him as Proprietary Governor. It was the case of "TheKing is Dead. Long live the King", for there was much toasting andcelebrating the next day for the new Governor was the choice of theconservatives 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 devout RomanCatholic, he was without a doubt buried in consecrated ground or interredin the town's parish Church -- most likely the latter, for peers andprominent men of State were usually buried in Churches or Cathedrals.
"His nuncupative will was proved at court on June 14, 1647. Theinventory was made by Captain John Price, Nicholas Causin, and Rober tPercy, and filed at court on June 30, 1647. Among the items listed werea large house located at Piney Neck, three manors, a large frame housewith 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'sCity. She furthermore assumed feudal rights on his three baronial manorsand installed in some manner, her sister Mistress Mary, on St. Gabriel'sManor who functioned as Lady of the Manor with all baronial grace andprivileges. Her appearance before the first Assembly called by GovernorGreene demanding a seat, something totally unheard of for a woman of thatperiod, has been widely popularized, but her aggressiveness was soonthwarted, for the stalwarts of tht day wanted no petticoat rule outsideof 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 Margaret didnot reveal the private conference while the others were out of the room.If she did have knowledge of his children, no evidence is forthcomingfrom the extant archives, letters and other documents of that period.
"Governor's Fields, the townland and residence of Governor Calvert,had in 1641 been assigned to Nathaniel Pope, who reconveyed it to Calvertby bargain and sale on January 4, 1646/7. The mansion on Governor'sFields was later occupied by Governor William Stone, the thirdProprietary Governor, who had continued to occupy it long after histenure of office whenever he was not residing at his country manori alestate on the Avon in Charles County."

BARTON WARREN STONE 5
(1772 - 1844)

Barton Warren Stone, son of John and Mary (Warren) Stone, was bornDecember 24, 1772, in Port Tobacco Parish, Charles County, Maryland. Hewas baptized in the Anglican faith of his ancestors and seems to haveprofessed this faith until his migration to an unsettled section ofVirginia.
About the year 1779 his widowed mother and older brothers and sisterssettled in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and located in Dan River Valleynear the North Carolina border. In 1790 with the intentions of acceptingthe traditional profession of the Stones, he entered the academy atGuilford, North Carolina, to prepare himself for the study of law. Aboutthis time or before he had joined the Presbyterian Church and findinghimself more interested in religion than law he entered the ministry ofthe so-called Orange Presbytery.
Soon after his acceptance of the ministry as a livelihood, he joined hisolder brother, Matthew, in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and there atWashington, 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 and tookcharge 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 and findingthousands of converts from among the great American middle class. In themidst 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 Disciples ofChrist or Christian Church.
On July 2, 1801, Barton Warren Stone married Eliza, the daughter ofWilliam and Tabitha (Russell) Campbell.

Shewas born 1784, married July 2, 1801, and died March 30, 1810, Dedicatedas a Memorial to the Deceased by C. C. Moore and-Mary his wife, 1850".
Shortly after the death of his wife, Barton Stone married Celia, theyoungest daughter of William and Mary Henley Bowen, of Mansker Creek,Tennessee, and a first cousin to his deceased wife. The marriage bondwas negotiated in Sumner County, Tennessee, on October 30, 1811, withJohn H. Bowen as his bondsman.
