Benedict Swingate Calvert 1

 Here is a Wikipedia article on Benedict that has some good information.  However the supposition that he is descended from Melusina de Schulenberg, Countess of Walsingham, is wrong.  Uncle Bill had letters from Benedict's descendants through his son George that point instead to Princess Amelia, daughter of George II, as being Benedict's mother.  These are in files that my father got from Bill that I then obtained.  I'm wondering if anyone else heard stories about Benedict?
