Notes about Jane LOWE

Benedict Leonard Calvert, 4th Baron Baltimore (21 March 1679 - 16 April 1715) was an English nobleman and politician. He was the second son of Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore (1637-1715) by Jane Lowe, and became his father's heir upon the death of his elder brother Cecil in 1681. The 3rd Lord Baltimore was a devout Roman Catholic, and had lost his title to the Province of Maryland shortly after the events of the Glorious Revolution in 1688, which saw the Protestant monarchs William and Mary accede to the British throne. Benedict Calvert would make strenuous attempts to have his family's title to Maryland restored by renouncing Roman Catholicism and joining the Church of England.

In February 1715 Benedict became the 4th Baron Baltimore upon the death of his father, and he immediately petitioned King George I for the restoration of Maryland to his control. However, before the King could rule on the petition, Baltimore died aged 36, outliving his father by just two months. Shortly afterwards the King restored the title to Maryland to Calvert's young son Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore.

Calvert married Charlotte Lee, daughter of the 1st Earl of Lichfield and his wife, an illegtimate daughter of Charles II by Barbara Villiers. He and his wife had seven children. including:

Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, 18th Proprietor Governor of Maryland (29 September 1699 - 24 April 1751), married Mary Janssen, daughter of Sir Theodore Janssen, 1st Baronet Janssen and Williamsa Henley.
Hon. Benedict Leonard Calvert (1700-1732), Governor of the Maryland colony from 1727 through 1731, appointed by his brother, Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore. His health was poor and he died of tuberculosis on 1 June 1732 on his passage home to England.
Hon. Edward Henry Calvert (b. ca. 1700), held office of Commissary General and President of the Council of Maryland. Married but had no children.
Hon. Charlotte Calvert (born 1702, died December 1744), married Thomas Brerewood, by whom she had a son, Francis Brerewood. (Her father-in-law Thomas Brerewood owned My Lady's Manor, in Maryland.)
Hon. Jane Calvert (died July 1778), married John Hyde (1695-1746), with whom she had many children.
Hon. Cecil Calvert (born 1702, died 1765)
Hon. Anne Calvert

Their descendants would include the children of Robert E. Lee through Benedict Swingate Calvert, an illegitimate son of the 5th Lord Calvert. Benedict's daughter, Eleanor married John Parke Custis, a step-son of George Washington. Swingate's mother may have been Melusina von der Schulenburg, Countess of Walsingham, an illegitimate daughter of George I by his mistress, Melusine von der Schulenburg, Duchess of Kendal.
