I will certainly keep the info you sent and if I can ever prove a tie to your Benjamin I will let you know. Mary Marie Cox who married my Benjamin was the daughter of my 2nd great uncle so this is not a direct line but I have been mystefied by this line since they all seem to have disappeared after the marriage of Benjamin and Mary. The info I have on their children is from a book written by a distant family member so I have no idea of it's accuracy!

If I have something which helps, and you think this is the correct Benjamin, then let me know. This benjamin I did not yet try to find. Ezekiel and son benjamin not in my line but he was born about 1849 according to what I know. His father, Benjamin Sr was born about 1808 he married Minerva but I don't know her last name. Ezekiel was a son of Isaac Calvert and was abt 1776. I have firmly placed isaac as husband of Fanny Bullitt and have her tombstone. Isaac was b on the family farm on Roberts Run, now Greene Co PA but then Mon Co VA. I have recently made discoveries of secondary sources which Posit this line to George Calvert of 1668, son John b1692 so if this fits, it may get you started on Calverts farther back. I have no direct Cox relationship myself, only via Marriages. There are perhaps 10 or less in my DB. Regards, David Bell daipdq@juno.com

Hi, Joanne: My assumed line splits from yours with Joshua Calvert, sibling of your John Calvert who went to Frederick Co. David Bell and I have a mixture of Calvert lines in Greene Co. PA around 1800. I did bring up your John Calvert as a Quaker family originally from Chester that lived in VA. Sorry have no further knowledge of your line. Jim Ray

Joanne. I joined this list to see what I could learn. Still haven't even started to tackle my Calvert. My Calvert is Margaret, sister to your John 1648, I think. Margaret married a Thomas Hollingsworth, then Margarets great great granddaughter married a Shockley, who was a Methodist minister. The family would seem to be steady Quakers down through Abraham and George Hollingsworth, but I haven't seen much on the great grandson Robert Hollingsworth.

Peggy: Buckey refers back to "The Immigration of Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania" by Albert Cook Myers. He speculates that the Quaker Calverts are related, but concludes that the only thing known for sure is that Thomas Calvert, b. 1617 is the progenitor of the Quakers who were Calverts.
Jim, do you have anything more on the Calverts who stayed in Chester Co after Buckley's group left for Virginia (in his book).

Jim, When we begin to think about these various gen family investigations it doesn't take long to take them with a grain of salt...use them as a pointer, not the fact. There is a tie betw my calverts and the delany's(various sp). one of my grandfather's sisters married william "teed" delaney. I found the ancestry in an appendix in that book rd furlong furlong-delaney and kindred families. In Harlan's epistle in the wetzel history book you have a clear line to the the irish quakers but that was from the maternal not paternal line. in a work done by a defunction calvert gen outfit in wetzel, they also had isaac but stuck a reason in the middle and i cannot for the life of me figure that out. my reason was son of hugh ewing calvert but b about 1825, not the one that goes to cass mo(my family farm lay in that county). I have been as confused as anyone trying to figure out who thomas c belonged to. when you, jim calvert, dean mills and ? mcandless came along i thought, finally, here are folks looking at same area and people but then a short time later i began to recognize that this is at the very least two distinct families and we are all claimi8ng this or that guy as ancestor. Deepwater twp is at the foot of what is known now as amarugia hghts or highlands and there is a brief book pubished on the area. it was notorious for a period of time and lies in the order #11 area of Cass co mo abandoned by decree of the union general in command of the forces in the area at the time. I am pretty sure now with multiple family letters documenting isaac 1735 as the ancestor of my line that this is not the same as that of Joshua and Deborah. But it could be vice versa, ie, isaac in my line b 1742 for example. but two refernces out of greene co indicating the isaac d age 122 and of the va calvert line is much different that the other calverts who settled in Pa in other areas. Dunkard creek area being part of Mon co Va and another co of va before that before being reassembled as part of Greene. That a thomas built two mills on tributaries of Dunkard creek is another indication....he hauled the mill works over the mountains from MD. Further, none of the children are named via behavior patterns ie, obedience, etc though there is a charity in your line and perhaps another similar name. these are just not quakers. even your line imho. So could it be as i noted that the isaac of brandywine is my isaac and yours at the same time and we have been following false leads? I don't know. I do know that the isaac of my line died in PA and not out in Indiana. I thought for a good long while that Dean Mills put me in the chase but found later that this couldn't be the same line of calverts. so at least two and possibly 3 lines. If you read this board...check the posts by Laree mcDaniels as well... you will find a common thread of thinking which indicates that the frances fanny bulet of various spellings was cuthbert bullitts dau. and her lines are adjacent to mine cooksey fairfax etc to my calvert lemasters and now john. Add in Ewings who were from Ireland and mix it up with clare(clair) etc and it gets to be fun. among other lines and thinking....David "Time is intemperate--it slides, blindly trying to find the way into hidden places--In those spaces, time falls--hearts yearn, I."Excerpt from the Poem Time by David Edwin Bell --- "James Ray" <jrray@worldnet.att.net> wrote: David: Thanks.

Jim, Regarding Dale Harlan...I copied out the pages of wetzel co. history book at wetzel library. he discusses in his family history portion of the book, grandpa said this and that. He of course was a grandson of the harlan calvert line but he was not talking about Hampton Lee Calvert. He was talking of his Harlan grandparent. Hampton lee is my line and did not nor did anyone of this line ever indicate the irish line of ancestry. I spent 8 days in wv and was toured around by Ray Calvert, son of Vance Ranlett Calvert. I obtained a photo of a pencil drawing of Albert Gallatin and his wife Mary A. "polly" cain. Many stories. On saturday or sun, my first week, John Pyles came over to ray's house and spent 3 hours visiting. John, bro of Bryce Pyles was a hoot as was ray. Ray talked about his grandfather, David Webster who walked from Silverhill to Blacksville and back, including a twp called fairview? haven't listened to the tape but DW's favorite saying was sigh by god. I have at least two good stories to relate on that. HL died at the calvert farm and is buried there on the knob where albert g and polly are buried. I have a photo of the stone. the only thing left now is the celler house. the barn and house are gone but i have a photo of the house and barn from 1969. I am not sure of what to make of Hiram but I think the info I passed to you is of your line. Don't go overboard on it because I have been unable as yet to seperate the various ancestors and make it work. Dale Harlan I abelieve is now deceased. I spoke with eloise baker last fall and she pointed me to him. I called all over Portland and the various towns where he lived and could not find him(this is my opine). Too many poeple read HL calvert as saying this and that in that family history but i cannot believe that it was HL and cannot recall Dale's Harlan ancestry. There is only 1 calvert in that cem and that is his wife or his father's wife.....can't recall which now. Dale was an attny and documented as much as he could. what i found was a treasure but with so much "mixted up things" the best I have to go on are 3 dif. references to Calverts to Isaac, Ida's letter and a presumption in the beginning that your line is different than mine, or, we are both following things which are not proved, have no data, etc. The letter from Ida settles it for me along with family heritage from both the calvert and lemasters lines. My visits were fruitful in most cases. Greene co library at the U is so extensive as to require a good bit of time to sort it out and which books to look in. nothing i looked for there really helped. Wetzel and Marshall were good as they had separated records out from the generic for calverts so it was much easier for me to find references. Green Co. Cthouse is a mess. That co. with so much historical heritage should be doing something to preserve and present documents. Loudoun co va and fairfax proved fruitful. I went to watersford va union cem to get photos and only found possibly 4 of the ones i was looking for. Louden itself provided much documentation and may tie into the calvert alias harrison saga. I hope someone can go spend time at Mon co. If you look at how Greene co was formed it demonstrates the controversy over records. part from here or there etc. most from VA and some from old PA and it was something that will take another visit. Must include Lafyette co and others. see the usgenweb site. finding the blacksville stuff is crucial to me. IT shows that the two lines are separate along with letters and notes and now 3 sources that show Isaac father of my thomas c., son of Cecilius. There is william calvert mixed in but i have not sorted that out nor Reason calvert. HE's son, reason is not the reason of cass mo, which was the question I was asking before of yourself and others. so much for that. Your isaac is not my isaac but their issue and ancestors is being mixed among at least two, possibly 3 or 4 family lines. I know I probably added more complexity to the issue. My associate family researchers breathed a sigh of relief based on what I have found thus far....we are sure that Thomas is our thomas, and your thomas is a different one. apparently Isaac is not your isaac though being mixed up with the isaacs b 1740s. this has been my feeling all along without proof, just bibles etc from the family and tradition that says not quaker. I will add this: If your isaac was at brandywine, he is not the isaac of Josh. and deborah. I do not think that early that the separation of faith is as succinct as to firmly attribute isaac to J and D. more of the mixing I believe. But that is my interpretation of events and people etc. The Harrison Connection in my line vexes me to no end. It is the reaqson I have looked so hard at the calvert alias harrison(harris) saga. IF Cecilius b 1702 is the ancestor(No known marriage or issue) is one thing. If Thomas Calvert Alias Harrison is the ancestor is another. At fairfax co. cthouse i did find one document on thomas alias signed that way. I have an 86 page document on this so if you want to peek at it, let me know. That re searcher says that this line of claverts is def. not quaker. in the period of time prior to the rev or maybe before 1800, their names were based upon behaviors. This researcher supports my contention about where my line(possibly yours) originated. take all this with a grain of salt. Isaac came to greene co in the late 1700s. Thomas is documented as being a millright and establishing a saw mill and grist mill on dunkard creek. etc. Add to what I showed in the Ida letter and other items she wrote, the very least of which demonstrates that many people are looking for their ancestry in a mixed up line of calverts(colbert, colvert, etc). David "Time is intemperate--it slides, blindly trying to find the way into hidden places--In those spaces, time falls--hearts yearn, I."Excerpt from the Poem Time by David Edwin Bell --- "James Ray" <jrray@worldnet.att.net> wrote: David: Thanks so much for your reply. Look forward to your conclusions and any data you may provide later. I do agree that there is sure a mixing of Calverts here. Some items do puzzle me. (1.) In your previous e-mail to CALVERT-L: You show Robert Calvert, will book 1, page 72 of Cumberland Twp. Liza J 8 31 1804 to Alice Calvert bond, 95 lbs., by Isaac Calvert and T Livingston. Then: Sarah Calvert, Mary Calvert, Abraham Miller...Widow for keeping children, Negro for digging grave, Jess was 6 years 8 mos., jabey 4 yrs, Rezin 2, Hirim 1. The above seems to be my Hiram Calvert. In Orphans Court (1808) for Greene Co. I have this: "On the petition of Alice Calvert widow and administrator of Robert Calvert late of Greene County deceased setting forth that the said Robert Calvert left children Isaac aged eight years, Jabez aged six years, Rezin aged five years, and Hiram aged four years..." (2.) This is probably coincidental, but the mention of the names Harlan's cemetery and Dale Harlan remind one of Deborah Harlan, grandmother to Isaac Calvert of Chester. And, curiously Brandywine Creek does run through Chester Co. (3.) It seems almost biblical that Isaac atttains 122 years of age and his wife 110.

Jim Ray, Does Buckey indicate that John Calvert 'father of the colony' is related to Lord Baltimore? I have seen references that say he was, and references that say no. Thank you. Peggy Calvert Robbins
Jim, I am now certain that the Isaac Calvert of your line is not the same as my Isaac Calvert. I have believed for quite some time that there is a mixing of various calvert lines. I have sorted this out to: Isaac who died at Age 122 in PA and was buried on the family farm near Dunkard Creek. Isaac Calvert acquired a homestead on the left branch of a creek which flows into Dunkard Creek about 1/2 mile below Blacksville. Ida Calvert wrote a letter from Silverhill Wetzel WV to her uncle Thomas Miller Calvert(Dr.), Hugh Ewing Calvert's son, HE being the brother of Thomas Clare Calvert my line(Their Father, Thomas C Calvert is buried on the family farm which he owned, oddly, both owned by Calverts in 1921 at the time of the letter dated 1921. I know my line of Calverts came through the Dunkard Creek area. By 179?, Dunkard Creek became part of Greene Co. Isaac would have been b circa 1735 and died at age 122, his wife Frances Bullett lived to be 110 and is buried in the Blacksville Mon Co WV cemetery(old cem). of my line also is buried on a family farm in what is now PA. The footstone of Isaac was found on the family cemetery in 1921 but not the headstone. Thomas's tombstone was broken in 3 pieces but readable. HE and Sarah Ann Miller are both buried at pleasant Valley Cem in PA and I have photos of those tombstones. I am trying to put together all my research notes and get it online with my data base. Here is a list of courthouses and gen societies that I visited on my vacation. Wetzel Courthouse and library. Marshall, Courthouse and Library. Tyler Courthouse Mon Co Courthouse and Library. Greene Co, Courthouse, Library and Gen Society(PA). Fairfax Co and Louden Co Courthouses. Barry and McDonald Co Mo. I acquired an accordian file folder full of data, documents, notes etc. I surveyed two Calvert Cemeteries in Wetzel as well as 4 Lemasters Cemeteries, 1 Postlewait and several large cemeteries including photos if I could read the stones. It will take me quite a bit of time to sort this all out. I have not found a will for Isaac nor any other formal doc... I wonder which Isaac it is now which is in your line. There are 3 or 4 possibles ie, 1735, 1742 1749 175x? And which is mine. Right now it would appear that the 1735 date is correct for my line with two references now pointing at his father as Cecilius b 1702. I would then presume that the one of the other isaacs is your ancestor but I don't wish to confuse the issue and say that this or that is sure. The letter indicating lineage and burial locations etc is my firmest source yet. As soon as I can make sense of all that I gathered I will get you the data. Below, find Ida Calvert's letter. Regards, David Letter To Dr T.M. Miller from Ida Calvert who lived at Silverhill Ida Calvert Silverhill, WVA Jun 1 1921 To: Dr T.M. Calvert (Thomas Miller Calvert, Son of Reason Calvert, Grandson of Thomas C. Calvert) Dear Uncle: We came home from Greene Co Last night and have nearly all the information you desire. We found the Grave of our great Grandfather Thomas C Calvert on the hill above Roberts Run on a farm owned by RIchard Calvert's son (Thomas)Tommy. The Plot is fenced but the stone was there in three pieces. When we got the stone out of the ground we found the inscription perfect. We next went to Isaac Calvderts old farm now owned by Richard Calvert's son John. He bought it about a year ago(1920) from S.C.Brock. We found what we thought to be the spot covered with brush and briar's but John had his boys cut and rake the briars and at last we found a grave, part of a footstone was there but the head stone was gone. We scoured the whole region but did not find the other stone. We next went to the old graveyard at Blacksville and easily found the grave of Anne Ewing Calvert(Anna). The others were satisfied with their find but there were so many old stones there that Clark and I insisted on looking at them. We found a stone marked Fanny Bullett Calvert. At the head was a larger stone that had been recut with the name Johanny Margaret Calvert on it but it was very old and there had been something else on it earlier. We could make out a few letters an I believe it is Issac's Tombstone. We went to the Valley Chapel Graveyard and found Grandfather's and Grandmothers Graves in good Condition (Hugh Ewing Calvert and Sarah Ann Miller Calvert--Hugh's stone says HE Calvert and neither is in good condition now--Photos available). Lisan Conklin says that Thomas C. Calvert and Anne Ewing Calvert were married in Mapletown but she did not know the date.

It may be that he died in Morgan Co., OH where his daughter Sarah Calvert Dye lived, and where Robert's son's Rezin and Hiram lived. I have not had a chance to check this out yet. Also, I have a source that has the Dye's moving on to Zionsville, IN where Isaac's wife, Frances died. Jim Ray
David: Thanks. Perhaps we do have the same Isaac, and mine does not go back to Chester. Here's some more on the Chester Calvert's, however. Isaac Calvert (b. ca. 1749) of Chester and brother Joshua Calvert were disowned by the Quakers in the 1760's. Either could have been in the Rev. War. Cope, Smedley Genealogy. John Calvert (ca. 1689-1739), uncle to Isaac, was known as "father of the colony", referring to Orange Co., VA, later Frederick Co. Source: Buckey, "The History of the Calverts who Were Quakers." It seems these Calverts drifted in and out of Quakerism. John's parents were no longer Quakers when he was born, yet he helped establish the Quaker colony in Orange Co., VA. I looked in Buckey for Harlans who might have gone to Orange Co., but could not find any. I took this off-line as it can't be of much help to others. I think I'll step back now and reread your e-mails and do some more research. Talk to you later. Jim Ray
