the possession of the Maryland Historical Society. Issaac Monnet was living in Calvet County, Maryland, as early as
1707, and as the Rent Roll covers a period from 1668 to 1723. It may be assumed that Isaac Monnett had
been in Calvert several years before that date.
Isaac Monnett is
recorded as living in Calvert County, Maryland as the suretyship on the bond of
James Beecham, given as executor under the will of George Pascall dated May 25,
1711. Also, in 1733, a list of Taxables in the possession of the
Maryland Historical Society at Baltimore.
The list contains the names of 375 Taxables in Calvert County for 1733
including Elizabeth Monett, Isaac Monett and William Monett.

The population of
the Maryland colony in 1660 was 12,000 and in 1671 it was 20,000. These were distributed about equally among
the original seven counties of Kent, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Baltimore
and Talbot. Calvert County was the
fourth political division of Maryland.
It become such in 1654, then, as now, of practically the same
geographical dimensions. It is situated
on the western shore of Maryland of the Chesapeake Bay: bounded on the north by Anne Arundel County;
on the south by St. Mary's County, and on the west by St. Charles and Prince
George Counties. It is a peninsula
protruding on the Bay with its southern boundary and having for its western and
southern limits the Patuxent River, which enters the Bay at the southern
extremity of the County. It has an area
of about 218 square miles (21 miles long by 10 miles wide).
In the southern
part of Calvert County, on the Bay shore are "The Cliffts," and
within a radius of five or six miles from the Prince Fredericktown are located
the churches of old "Christ's Chruch Parish" and "All Saints
Parish," which were the centers of the activities of the early Monnetts.
