Elizabeth's father Captain Calvert (1680–1734) was governor of Maryland at a time when the Calvert family had recently regained control of their proprietary colony. He was appointed Governor by his cousin [[Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore]], who in 1721 would travel to [[Maryland]] to take personal charge of the colony. Captain Calvert's parentage is not entirely clear since neither of his parents has been positively identified but it has long been assumed that his father was [[Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore]], 2nd Proprietor Governor of Maryland (1637–1715). His mother's identity is unknown but, judging by the Calvert family papers, she appears to have been the Countess Henrietta, also known as "Mother Calvert", who died circa 1728.<ref name="Yentsch55">Yentsch, p.55</ref> |
