Hello, I'm new to this list. Is anyone else on this list a descendant or have information on Robert Calvert b. abt. 1775, possibly in PA and married to Alice (last name unknown). Robert died in Greene Co, PA in 1804. They had four sons: Isaac b. 1799, Jabez b. 1800, Rezin (Reason) b. 12/10/1802, and Hiram b. 7/11/1804. I have heard, but have no documentation, that Hiram founded Hiramsburg, OH. A survey of Hiramsburg was made on November 5, 1836 and listed the four brothers and their parents. Reason (my direct line) took his family and several relatives from Hiramsburg in 1866 to Harrisonville, Missouri where he died in 1872. I know Reason and his wife, Nancy "Anny" Cotton had at least one child, Eliza Ruth Calvert, b. 7/9/1830 in Morgan County, Ohio. I'm looking for information on siblings of Eliza Ruth and also on the parents of Robert Calvert. Thanks!

They were highly respected people and were consistent members of the Baptist church. Their children were Henry, Elias, Eliza, Jacob, George, Caroline, Emma, John M., Charles, Frank and Stephen.

For eighteen years he worked on farms by the month and then bought his first land. He developed business shrewdness as he acquired experience, and for some years handled considerable property, purchasing at different times five farms which he put in better condition and then sold them to advantage. In 1907 he came to Clear Creek township and bought his present farm from Perry Rickets, and established here his permanent home. In addition to crop raising he raises enough good stock for his own use. His surroundings indicate the watchful eye of a careful farmer. Mr. Calvert was married first to Della Rife, now deceased. She was an adopted daughter of Joel and Mary Rife, her parents, George and Mary Kinser, having left her an orphan in infancy. One daughter, Mary, was born to that marriage, but she is deceased.
