CALVERT, Leonard, governor of Maryland, was born about 1606, second son of George Calvert, first Lord Baltimore, and brother of Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore. He was sent as first governor of Maryland by his brother, Cecil, who had obtained a charter for the colony from Charles I. on June 20. 1632. The expedition set sail from Cowes on Nov. 22, 1633, in two ships, called the Ark and the Dove, and consisted of two hundred persons, part Catholics and part Protestants. They arrived at Point Comfort, Va., Feb. 27, and a few days later sailed up the bay and Potomac river, where they purchased from the Indians a tract of land about April, 1654, and laid out St. Mary's. Before the arrival of Calvert, William Claiborne, a Virginian, had established a trading post on Kent island, within the bounds of Maryland, but had obtained no grant of the land. Lord Baltimore instructed Calvert to make friendly overtures to Claiborne.

Claiborne then sailed for England and in Februarj', 1638, Calvert took possession of Kent i.sland without resistance. In February, 1645, while Calvert was in Virginia, an armed English ship seized St. Mary's and about the same time Claiborne re-established himself on Kent island.
