He settled in Accomack Co. before 24 JUN 1636, when William Bibby was granted 300 acres for the transportation of six people, including Christopher Calvert. [30] On 13 FEB 1637 Christopher witnessed (by mark) a sale by Philip Dodsworth of two cows in Northampton Co., VA. [32] On 25 SEP 1637 Christopher verified the will of William Bibby, deceased.

It was a neck of land on the south side of the main southern branch of Anancock, bounded on the west by a branch parting it from the lands of John Jenkins and on the east by another branch parting it from the land of William Mellings. [34] On 3 NOV 1660 Christopher assigned the grant to Charles and Mary Calvert.

11 Elinor S. [40]
In 1680 Elinor and her daughter were witnesses in an Accomack Co. coroner’s inquest in a case of infanticide. A prevalent belief in 17th century England and Scotland was that a murderer touching or coming into the presence of a victim’s body would cause the wounds to bleed again. In this case, a male child was born to Mary, d/o Sarah Carter, w/o Paul, who is called Mary’s father-in-law [i.e., stepfather]. Mary said she was forced to have sex once with James Tuck and had sex with Paul Carter many times. Sarah and Paul secretly buried the child, who they said had died during the night. Mary (X) Sipple and Elener S. Calvert were among 12 women who watched as Sarah, and then Paul, touched the child’s body. Paul’s touch caused it to begin bleeding; he turned pale and the observers thought there was bruising at the child’s throat. Date of this examination was 1 MAR 1679. All three Carters--Mary, Sarah, Paul--were indicted, to be held for trial in James City. [41]
