An adjoining tract of 300 acres was also granted, at the same time, for Thomas Calvert, the father. Still another tract of 100 acres, contiguous to the above, was granted on the same date to Margaret Calvert, the daughter of Thomas, and a sister to John and Ann. On 2 mo 11, 1691, "it was ordered that a patent for the whole tract should be made to John Calvert, to whom it was made appear to belong." (Pennlylvania Archives, 2nd. Series, Volume XLX., page 66.) ----------------------------------- A difference arose between John Calvert and Thomas Hollingsworth,-a step nephew (Also brother-in-law as Thomas Hollingsworth (M) Margaret Calvert) over the division of their lands in Upper Providence township in Chester Monthly Meeting, of which John Calvert was then a member, mentions this difference in their minutes of 4.6.1687. But let the minutes tell the story: "There being a difference between Thomas Hollingsworth & John Calvert about ye deviding their lands in ye township of Upper Providence. This meeting now ordereth Bartholomon Coppock ye younger, John Cashing, James Ginerly and Caleb Pusey to inspect and to hear ye testimony in ye said dispute and to give an account thereof to ye next meeting." And at the next meeting held at Walter Faucett's on ye fourth day of ye fifth month, 1687. "The difference opening between Thomas Hollingsworth & John Calvert was reported to ye next quarterly meeting & that ye said Thomas Hollingsworth & John Calvert be desired by this meeting to come at ye next quarterly meeting as also John Cashing, Bartholomon Coppock, James Ginerly & Caleb Pusey." It appears that John Calvert did not accept the committee's recommendation,as the Quarterly Meeting held at Walter Faucet's of Ridley, the first day of the sixth month, 1687, says, "Agreed that a paper of testimony against John Calvert be given forth to public view if after he had heard it read to him he gives not cause to the contrary," and it is further "Agreed that Caleb Pusey and Walter Faucet read the paper to John Calvert that is given forth against him and give account to the next meeting thereof. This meant disownment. However, nothing further is said of the matter, and it was probably dropped, as there are later references to John Calvert. ------------------------ THE HOLLINGSWORTH REGISTER VOLUME I., NUMBER 1.P 08 From an examination of the records of Yorkshire Parish Register Society, there is little doubt that the Calverts did indeed, originate in Moorsholm.

This Calvert family came first into Lurgan, and then moved to what is now Hillsborough, and then back to Lurgan. But the invaluable information is their original English Parish home. "Moresome" neer Gisbrough is correctly called "Great Moresome," now often written "Great Moorsholm." It lies within the Parish of Skelton-in- Cleveland, and is a township thereof, being six miles east by south, of the town of Guisborough, in North Riding of the County of York, England.
