 The Calvert Chronicles
The historical Calverts would in many ways be strangers to us today, but in the context of their times they were, with one notable exception, upright and honorable men and women, representative of the society from which they arose.
The result was that not only the Calverts, but very many of the families who were in the Kentucky (and Tennessee) territories not uncommonly have in their history first cousin marriages, extremely early marriages, and marriages between widows or widowers and their former in-laws as a means of keeping property within the family.
By the time Frederick was born in 1732 the Calverts had been recognized members of the privileged British elite for a century, and the sixth Lord Baltimore was accustomed to the privileges of rank and social position in a society centered on aristocratic prerogatives.
