I've just got back to continuing with my research and thought I'd do a general broadcast query. I'm researching a line of Calverts that immigrated from County Down to S.W. Ontario in 1875. From what my Great Aunt Helen Calvert remembers of her Grandparents, there were 3 Calvert brothers. The one's I know of are John Calvert b. Dec. 29 1852 b. N. Ireland [m. to Mary Jane Nesbitt b. Feb. 3 1853 N. Ireland] & David William Calvert b. Aug 12 1848 [m . Mary Jane Quinn b. Jan. 25 1850 Ont?]. John & David Calvert. From the research I've done I've noticed that there are quite a number of John & David Calverts in North America from County Down. My GGreat Grandparents, John and Mary, came over with 3 of their 6 children. They first settled in E. Nissori, Oxford Co. Ontario near Lakeside. David W. and Mary Jane are buried at Christ Church Anglican in Lakeside with 5 of their young ones who died young. There was a 3rd brother, I don't know his name though. My Aunt Helen only remembers that he went to the Chicago area. My GGreat Grandparents 1st son was named David William b. Nov. 5 1873...and is recorded as being born in Trandragee, Bleary, Near Belfast, County Down N. Ireland. I have to assume the family all originated from this area as quite a few Calverts can be found there. David W. married Annie Jane Dundas and they bought a farm at the N. Oxford/Middlesex county line, near Banner. My GGreat Grandparents, also bought a farm in N.Oxford in Banner, but later bought the Sutherland Farm in Middlesex that is located in Dorchester. My family still owns this house. The other bit of information I have is that on the 1881 Census, my GGreat Uncle David William had a William living with him who was a widower, age 74. Again, I assume this William must be either a father to David & John, or maybe an elderly Uncle. My GGreat Grandmother, Mary Jane Nesbitt, had a sister here as well - Margaret "Maggie" Nesbitt, who married a McDougal. I know very little about her other then she died quite poor, I believe, and was buried in the Calvert plot in Dorchester Union Cemetery. I'd love to hear from anyone who also may be familiar with any of the following surnames - Hogg, Armstrong, Quinn, Nesbitt, Morgan, McDougall The following is what I have of both my GGreat Grandparents and GGreat Aunt & Uncles families 1st & 2nd Generation: Descendants of John Calvert Generation No. 1 1.

That is just one of many possible ancestors of my Calvert line. I was all over WV and Greene Co and due to the assist from other researchers (Calvert, Criss, Fairfax, Cooksey and so on) I have made a tremendous stride by finding primary documents for my ancestor Thomas C Calvert Sr C= Clair or Clare though I believe the latter. Thomas d in 1868 after filing a will in 1866. It details second wife, issue and from cemetery records, family data etc we now have firmly fixed this Thomas, greene Co, Hoy and Rudolph run, with many other calverts in the same area Ezekiel, John, and so on. Thomas C Calvert Sr father was Isaac who married Fanny Bullitt. Old Blacksville Cemetery has a recut stone with the chiseled name Faney Bulet used as a footstone for a grandau. FB Calvert who was Fanny Bullett Calvert. Name spelling in this era was tenuous at best. Even Thomas C Calvert Jr was noted in the census data as Colbert or Colvert. Spelling, literacy, use of the language not being standardize, phonetic pronunciation and other reasons. Colbert was Calvert in a lot of cases or I would say probably all that came from england or ireland and are found in records one way or another into the 1800s. My guess is you are looking at John Colbert of the PA Wash. Census of 1790, correct? I am now looking at him as well. I added surnames to the message but detail a bit of my ancestry: Isaac b1735-1748/9 m Fanny Bullitt, dau of possibly Benjamin Bullitt, and sister of Cuthbert Bullitt of VA. Thomas C Calvert Sr b1768 m Anna Ewing of MD at mapletown PA he m second a margaret (primary, secondary doc). he was commissioned by WH Harrison, War of 1812. He built a grist and sawmill in greene co pa btw 1813 and 1818 or so. at the age of 85 Thomas was tyring to obtain bounty land for his service in w of 1812 due to the 1855 act of congress. Thomas C Calvert Jr b1803 m Elizabeth Johnson Albert Galaltin Calvert b1830 m Mary A. "Polly" Cain. He was an educator, farmer, and later a WV house representative. John Ewing Calvert b1856 m Martha Lemasters Arthur Calvert b1876 m2, Lena Ensinger 4 issue but 3 died before age 30. m3 Amanda Sylvesta Rose in OK. was sort of Oil field pioneer in WV OH and OK.

Hope this helps give you something to try to associate to. I believe that Isaac came out of eastern PA and possibly also VA.

Hello List, I wanted to know if there are any Calvert's in Cleveland who are related to Jean Mae Calvert. Jean was born Feb. 4, 1912 in Princeton, KY and moved to Cleveland, OH. She married Bross Elvie Townsend and had two children Cora Townsend and Bross Elvie Townsend, Jr. Jean is a cousin. Cora contacted my mother back in the 1990s to say that Jean had developed Alzheimer. We don't know Cora's maiden name. My mother, Elizabeth Jean Boyd Gilchrist (born Mar. 9, 1929 in Princeton, KY), is her second cousin and was diagnosed with it this year. I would like to get in contact with her family.

Still looking for the mystery father of Donald Calvert (my grandfather) (he was born in 1938) and his name was Leonard Calvert.
