Talk:Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore

Roman Catholicism not official in Maryland
The Province of Maryland was never officially Roman Catholic. Trinitarian Christians, including Catholics, were officially tolerated according to the Maryland Toleration Act of 1649, although the Act was temporarily rescinded in favor of Protestants between 1654-1658. Toleration lasted another 31 years until it was ended permanently during the Protestant Revolution of 1689. Roman Catholics and non-Protestants would not be fully emancipated for 87 more years in the Maryland colony until the American Revolution of 1776.Jm3106jr (talk) 02:24, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Not exactly. Catholics were originally emancipated, as in having the right to vote, very early on. But this was rescinded in 1691.

Wasn't His Uncle, Leonard Calvert, the first to take personal charge of the Colony?
The article instead says it was Charles Calvert--


 * ''"Charles Calvert sailed to Maryland in 1661 as a young man of 24, becoming the first member of the Calvert family to take personal charge of the colony."

But the Wikipedia article on his Uncle, Leonard Calvert, appears to instead describe Leonard as being a directly involved (and on-site) governor long before Charles Calvert ever arrived on the scene.''

Also, wasn't his Uncle, Philip Calvert, also governor (and living, as well as dying) in St. Marys City, Maryland, prior to the arrival of Charles? 2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 (talk) 06:31, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Charles Calvert Lazenby
There is only one reference listed for Charles Calvert Lazenby possibly being an illegitimate child of the 3rd Baron. When actually clicking on the source, it says a completely different thing then what is presented in the article. The book A Chesapeake Family and Their Slaves: A Study in Historical Archaeology is linked to chapter 3. There is no mention of who Lazenby's parents are or who they could be. It simply says he may have been illegitimate. It then goes on to talk of the 3rd Baron as if he was an older relative; not father. -- Lady Meg (talk) 03:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

I would also like to point out that Douglas Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry: A Study In Colonial And Medieval Families, 2nd Edition pg 467 does not list Lazenby as an illegitimate child of the 3rd Baron. Richardson does include the illegitimate children of families -- but there is none listed for Baron Baltimore. -- Lady Meg (talk) 03:35, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
