  • Notes 
    • Little is known of the extraction of the Yorkshire Calverts, although at George Calvert's knighting it was claimed that his family originally came from Flanders. Leonard was a country gentleman who had achieved some prominence as a tenant of Philip Lord Wharton, and was wealthy enough to marry a gentlewoman, Alicia Crossland, and establish his family on the estate of Kiplin, near Catterick in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire.
