page 102:
"William Chapline was born in England at "Chapline Choice". He married Mary Hooper in 1650. He was the son of Isaac Chapline and Mary Calvert?
Isaac was born in 1584 in England, was a captain in the Royal Navy, and came to Virginia in the Ship "Starr" as a member of the King's Council in 1610, evidently to the newly forming colony of Jamestown. He married Mary in 1606.
She was born in England in 1586 and came to Virginia in Ship "James" in 1622. Some historians claim Mary was a sister of the first Lord Baltimore. However, "Colonial Families of the U.S.A. by George MacKenzie from which this
Chaplin history is taken, places a question mark next to her Calvert surname. So this remains to be proven. In the pages of the book dealing with the Calvert lineage, no further light is shed on this question."
