Marvollee, The John Calvert, shown as #8 on the list, is known as "John Calvert of Elberta Co., Georgia". His grandson, George C. Hart, sent a letter to the Calvert Western Heirs Association dated Feb. 5, 1913 stating that John Calvert was a son of William Calvert of Mason Co., Ky. This would be the William Calvert shown as #7 on the list. Most likely, John is not the son of William Calvert of Mason County. All of William's known heirs filed a lawsuit in Mason County protesting the division of William's estate on March 2, 1812. William had eleven children with two sons killed in the Rev. War. The family lines of the remaining nine children have been traced. None of William's children were named John. No where is there any indication William ever fathered a child named John, other than the statement made in George Hart's letter. George C. Hart also mentioned in his letter that his own grandfather George (son of John) had relatives in Tennessee named Carson, William, and Grove or Groves Calvert. Again these names do not connect with the family of William Calvert of Mason Co., Ky. Instead, they connect with the family of David Calvert of Giles Co., Tenn. It is suspected that your John Calvert was the brother of the David Calvert who lived in Giles Co., Tenn. This David Calvert was born in Delaware. My hunch is that John and David descend from the Quaker line of the Calverts. George Calvert [email protected]

Teri, Thanks for checking the records. I guess it's just one of those facts we accept but there should be a question mark used somewhere in that Ann Brent line to show we "know we don't know," to cover ourselves. It makes the rest of the data stronger to acknowledge weak links, in my opinion. -----Original Message----- From: Teri Popp <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 11:35 AM Subject: Re: [CALVERT-L] LEONARD CALVERT -1550- Descendants >Dear Laura, >I agree--the evidence is still weak as I'm still showing that there is no marriage record for Leonard Calvert and Anne Brent myself.

Is it still true that there has never been a marriage record discovered for Anne Brent and Leonard Calvert? Can we even prove they were on the same side of the Atlantic at the same time? The last time I worked on this about 10 years ago, there was a very weak link in that area.

I think Valley Forge was the winter of 77-78. Speaking of Wars in which ancestors participated, My Martin Calvert is mentioned in the book Behind Enemy Lines (Civil War) as being killed in a skirmish on the road to Fayette. MO. I have not yet seen the paragraph but will look it up next time I'm at library. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Monday, January 31, 2000 8:05 PM Subject: Re: [CALVERT-L] Calverts: Martin, Elijah, and Reuben?

Dwight Stewart Dwight, Turn to page 87 and you will find the following letter from Major General E. T. Conley: The records of the War Department show that one Reuben Calvert served in the Revolutionary War as a sergeant in Captain John Peyton's, Company. 3rd Virginia Regiment, commanded successively by Colonel George Weedon and Colonel Thomas Marshall. The date of entry into service is not shown. His name first appears on a company pay roll covering the period from October 8 (1776) to January 1, 1777. The company pay roll covering the period from January 1 to March 1, 1777, shows that the time of his service was fifteen days, and this roll also bears the remark: "Dead." (Signed) E. T. Conley, Major General The Adjutant General. War Department, Washington, D.C. I understand that O'Gorman's original notes and correspondence are at the archives of the Library of Virginia in Richmond. The only way to truly verify the above is to examine the original records of the U. S. Army. It would probably take an act of Congress to gain access the payroll records of 3rd Virginia (assuming they haven't been lost or destroyed). Major General E. T. Conley is wrong about George Weedon. Weedon assumed command of the 3rd Virginia in Feb. 1777 (after Trenton and Princeton). At Trenton and Princeton the 3rd was a part of Stirling's Brigade under the command of Hugh Mercer. Mercer had the lead detachment on the Pennington Road followed by Lord Stirling and Major George Greene. Other actions of the 3rd Virginia include: Charge on King Street: Captain William Washington and Lt. James Monroe of the 3rd lead charge that captures the enemy's cannon on King Street in Trenton. Holding of Assumpsick Bridge: An engagement on 2nd January, 1777 at Assumpsick Bridge near Trenton, where the Americans held against superior British forces. (I believe the bridge was held by a company under Mercer's command.) The Death of Hugh Mercer: At dawn, Colonel. Mawhood has begun to follow in the wake of Cornwallis to Trenton, with his 17th Foot of the 4th Brigade followed by the 55th, and the 40th regiment ordered to remain in Princeton. Now the Americans under General Mercer who had been sent to guard the left flank and the 17th under Mawhood discover each other at the same time, and move to attack. The 55th moves back into Princeton. Mercer and Mawhood each believe they have encountered a patrol. Mawhood has about 276 men, and Mercer 120 with 200 following. Both race to the high ground now called Mercer heights. Mercer is surprised to run into Mawhood's men deployed in line. Captain Willie Leslie of the 17th, and nephew of General Alexander Leslie, is killed in the first fire. After exchanging fires, Mawhood's regiment charges with the bayonet. Only 20 of Mercers men have muskets and bayonets, most being slow reloading riflemen whose guns can not use bayonets. Mercer is mortally wounded and his troops fall back, but Cadwalader's 600 men of the Pennsylvania militia arrive. They fire and then start to fall back, even though they greatly outnumber the 17th. (Mawhood and the 17th regiment put up a terrific defense, still remembered and honored in Great Britain.) Dwight, the pages you are looking at refer to George and Zealy Calvert, nephews of Reuben. They enlisted in 1778. Also, Rueben's estate was not inventoried until May 26, 1778. I suspect O'Gorman received the Conley's letter in the latter stages of her work and did not revise her earlier writings. The woman was past 80 when the book was published. Perhaps some of the DAR members can shed more light on the engagements of the 3rd Virginia, or let me know if the above is an accurate accounting.

George, as you often do, you post helpful information for all of us. Thanks again for your contributions to this list. A question about your message below: O'Gorman states the year of his death as 1778. Did you mean to type 1778 or are you correcting O'Gorman at that point? When was the encampment at Valley Forge? O'Gorman says Reuben may have died there. ... Dwight Stewart -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, January 30, 2000 10:39 PM Subject: [CALVERT-L] Calverts: Martin, Elijah, and Reuben? Carolyn, Welcome to the family. Vicki Kay Spencer and I descend from Thomas, the eldest son of Reuben and Sarah Calvert. The information you show is generally accepted as being correct, however there are all kinds of uncertainties about Reuben Calvert, his parents and his children. Its a great line of the family for someone who likes being a detective. The connection to the Kirklands is also unique aspect of this line. There has been a documentary on the A&E channel called "The Crossing". This is about Washington crossing the Delaware and the American victory at Trenton. You may want to watch the next time it is on. Sergeant Reuben Calvert was a continental soldier with the 3rd Virginia Regiment under the command of Colonel Hugh Mercer (who was one of Washington's closest friends). They fought at Harlem Heights, Trenton and Princeton. Mercer was stabbed to death in a bayonet charge by the British on Jan. 6th, 1777. Reuben Calvert was marked as "Dead" on the company payroll from Jan. 1st to March 1st, 1777 with the time of service shown as 15 days. This has lead us to believe he died on Jan. 15th, 1777. The cause of his death is unknown, however he was clearly one of the soldiers who remained with Washington after their enlistments had expired. There are many pages of information about Reuben's line of the family. I have Martin shown as a son of Elijah, but nothing on Martin's descendants. Looks like you have done some original research. I will gladly send whatever you desire, i.e something brief or the full text.

George, Is Hugh Mercer related to the Mercer family that is found in Pennsylvania? Carolyn Joy found a notation on the LDS webs site, familysearch.com, that alleged John Calvert of Bald Eagle Township (in what is now Centre County PA) was the son of a Reuben Calvert. The sons of John Calvert of Bald Eagle Township later moved in the company of a Mercer family to Belmont County, OH. The Mercers, according to some sources, later became very active in the Methodist Church in Ohio. One may have been a Bishop in that Church.

Carolyn, Welcome to the family. Vicki Kay Spencer and I descend from Thomas, the eldest son of Reuben and Sarah Calvert. The information you show is generally accepted as being correct, however there are all kinds of uncertainties about Reuben Calvert, his parents and his children. Its a great line of the family for someone who likes being a detective. The connection to the Kirklands is also unique aspect of this line. There has been a documentary on the A&E channel called "The Crossing". This is about Washington crossing the Delaware and the American victory at Trenton. You may want to watch the next time it is on. Sergeant Reuben Calvert was a continental soldier with the 3rd Virginia Regiment under the command of Colonel Hugh Mercer (who was one of Washington's closest friends). They fought at Harlem Heights, Trenton and Princeton. Mercer was stabbed to death in a bayonet charge by the British on Jan. 6th, 1777. Reuben Calvert was marked as "Dead" on the company payroll from Jan. 1st to March 1st, 1777 with the time of service shown as 15 days. This has lead us to believe he died on Jan. 15th, 1777. The cause of his death is unknown, however he was clearly one of the soldiers who remained with Washington after their enlistments had expired. There are many pages of information about Reuben's line of the family. I have Martin shown as a son of Elijah, but nothing on Martin's descendants. Looks like you have done some original research.

Hi all. I am so excited. I received email from a granddaughter of one of my great aunts. This is the first contact that I've with anyone from this line. I know you all know how exciting this is. I am sending her 2 messages and will tell her abt the Calvert list. Vicki K. Calvert Spencer #1 Will I assume we are related since William Culbertson Calvert is my great-grandfather. His daughter Zilphia (Zelpha) is my grandmother. My father, Franklin Roosevelt Mitchell, is the child of Zilphia and James L. Mitchell that was not listed among her children. James Mitchell along with two other brothers who were the children of James L. Mitchell from a previous marriage. I am in the process of obtaining more information about these children and the Mitchell side of the family. Presently, I am attending Morgan State University in Baltimore where I am beginning research for my thesis. My thesis is going to be about our family that follows the bloodline of Governor Leonard Calvert of Maryland. It's funny because I only recently learned about the history of our family. I was never told anything about our family and was I ever surprised about the historically significant family from which I come. One particular reason I am e-mailing you is because I need to know where you obtained your information. In writing my thesis I have to document all of my information so I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me. Hoping to hear from you soon. If possible send your phone number and I'll give you a call. Elizabeth Mitchell Rhodes #2 I am so glad to hear from you. I would appreciate any information you might have all the way back to Governor Leonard Calvert. My thesis is going to touch on Leonard and the Calverts in Virginia but then I am going to focus on the Calverts in Kentucky. If you know of any sources that you can share, please, e-mail them to me. I need all of the help I can get so I can complete my thesis and graduate in May. I thought maybe you would to know something about my side of the family. Grandma Zilphia Etolia Mitchell married James L. Mitchell who was from Indiana. It is very possible that Grandpa Mitchell was the son of James L. Mitchell who was an officer in the Union Army. If so, then James L. Mitchell was born in Shelby Co., KY moved to Indianapolis where he practiced law, served as a Senator and the mayor of Indianapolis. This information has not been totally proved so it will have to wait until later. Right now it have to focus on the Calverts so I can finish my thesis. I have lots of other information about Grandma that I will get to later after I have organized it. I am dying to talk to you became after my thesis, I'll eventually be working on my dissertation. In that I will cover the rest of the family to present-day. So I will need a lot of help from anyone that is willing. E-mail me and let me know when you will be at the phone number you gave me then I will call. I am so glad to get to know members of my family. I was either never told about my family or since my accident I forgot anything that I had been told. Seventeen years ago I was severely injured when I was 34 and here I am today at 51 studying for a doctorate. It is difficult but I am determined to work again. When I was studying for my BA at the University of Louisville I realized that I was too old for many occupations but there was one area where I could work until I dropped dead in the halls and that was in academia. So I decided that when I am finished I am going to go back and teach at U of L. Hope to hear from you soon.

I need help documenting my Calvert line. My ggrandfather, James F., was the son of Martin and Elizabeth Cox; Martin was the son of Elijah and Charity(?) and listed as b. in Prince William County, VA. in 1793. Martin had the following siblings: Nancy,b. Abt. 1782; Keziah, b. Abt. 1784; Thomas, b. Abt. 1785; Selis,b. Abt. 1797; John, b. 1800; and Peyton, b.1799. Elijah is listed as a son of Reuben and Sarah Kirkland, b. 1741 in Prince Wm. Co., VA. Other children of Rueben and Sarah are Thomas, b. 1759 (spouse: Mary Gray); Reuben,b. 1766; Levi,b.1768; Richard K., b. 1765; and Francis, b. 1759. I have Reuben listed as son of George and Esther Kirkland Stone(widow of Francis Stone and second wife of George),b. in 1741 in Prince Wm.Co.,VA and d. January 1777 in Rev. War. Reuben had the following half- brothers: John, William, Humphrey, and Obed.(Their mother was Constance Cornwall). I would like for someone with documentation correct &/or add info to the above. I am seeking true facts instead of maybes. Thanks if you can help me. Carolyn in Indiana

Dear Marvolee, I'm also (allegedly) related to the Calverts through Leonard and Ann (Brent) Calvert. I have all of my research and notations on line at the following URL: http://popp-family.rootsweb.com/ You can access into my Gedcoms by clicking on the Gedcom button and then clicking on the Popp Gedcom at Rootsweb link. Also, I have the following information on my Links page: Surname Related Sites: Calvert. And, finally, I have a listing of Researchers On-Line for the Calvert Surname on my "Surname Resources" page. All pages can be accessed through my home page URL listed above. Would you like to me added to the Calvert Surname researchers on-line page? If yes, answer me privately off the list and I'll be happy to do that. Also, would you like your line added to my Gedcom at Rootsweb? I have information on Leonard and Ann (Brent) Calvert (with research notes and notations) and on William and Elizabeth (Stone) Calvert; however, I do not follow that collateral line any further down. Do you have source listings for John and Mary (McCurdy) Calvert and Isaac and Mary (Calvert) Allred? I would be willing to insert them into the Gedcom and list you as the researcher for that line with your e-mail address. I have had over 10,000 visitors to the page since June 3, 1999 when I launched it, so it's pretty active genealogically. You might be able to find some additional links by having your information included in my page. In addition, I'm willing to follow the line down to you (or a different relative) with the Allred, etc. surnames. I find that filling in my own collateral lines has helped me make some additional headway on research on some of my direct lines so I'm always willing to include collateral info on my page. I wish you the best in your research and hope that you find the research information that I have compiled to be interesting and helpful. Please also note that I have much information on the Calvert family in the form of Leonard Calvert's pedigree (back several generations). There are many inconsistencies in this family's genealogy and I have them listed and annotated on my Gedcom.
