George Calvert of Culpeper County, Virginia, was born about 1715 in Stafford County, the elder son of John Calvert (c.1692-c.1731). The wife of John Calvert is contested, but was probably Mary Gosling. John Calvert was a son of George Calvert (c.1668-?), who was a son of William Calvert (1643-1682), who was a son of Leonard Calvert (1610-1647), founding Governor of Maryland, who was the second son of George Calvert (1579-1632), Secretary of State to King James I and first Lord Baltimore.
George Calvert was always called George Junior to distinguish him from his uncle. He lived on Deep Hole Farm in Culpeper County, and supplied extensive provisions for the troops during the Revolutionary War. There are later claims for 3 gallons of brandy in September of 1780, 25 bushels of wheat in October 1780, 1475 pounds of beef in June 1781, 1000 pounds of hay in November 1781, and 325 pounds of beef in December 1781. In January of 1781, wit the war now near Virginia, George’s son, also names George, was drafted in Class 57 into the Culpeper County militia. When Benedict Arnold’s troops invaded the Valley of Virginia in 1781, George was called upon to serve under arms, and was commissioned Captain of militia on 14 May 1781 by Thomas Jefferson, Governor. I have a copy of the commission.
George was married first to Anne Crupper, and then to Mary Strother Deathridge. He died on 19 May 1782. The son of George and Anne, also named George (1744-1821) was the first of this line to move to Kentucky.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
