Biography

Anne Calvert, one of five daughters born to Sir George Calvert and his wife Anne Mynne, married William Peasley.^[1][2]

Estimated Birth Year

Anne Calvert was born after her parents married November 22, 1604.^[3]

George and Anne Mynne Calvert had six sons and five daughters. Richardson, probably following a will, lists Anne first of the five daughters. The first two sons were born 1605 and 1606, and the fourth daughter in 1611, which suggests that a birth year of 1607 would be a reasonable estimated birth year for Anne. Estimated birth years are speculative and useful primarily for placing a person in the correct time period.

Marriage

Richardson refers to Anne as "wife of William Peasley."^[2]

1627 Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts. ^{[citation needed]}

Death

Anne (Calvert) Peasley died in 1677.^{[citation needed]}

Research Notes

Some credible researchers ^[4] show Anne as a child not of George Calvert's first marriage to Anne Mynne, but to his second marriage, as a full sister to Philip, born in 1626, and therefore herself born in 1627.

Marshall's site shows further this Anne possibly married not to William Peasley, but -- unproven -- to William Gittings of Surry, England, and died there after 1679. ^[4]

Magna Carta Project

Magna Carta trail

In November 2015, this profile was added to the Magna Carta Project's list of "Gateway Ancestors". While she is shown by Richardson as a daughter of George Calvert and his wife Anne Mynne,^[1] Richardson does not document her further, nor list her as a Gateway. In light of the questions raised by other researcher (see Research Notes, above), she was removed from the project's list of Gateways in April 2019. ~ Noland-165 00:53, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
