Surnames: Calvert Ewing Clare Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WQH.2ACEB/1006.1 Message Board Post: 3 Different views on the ancestry of My Thomas C Calvert b 1767 to 1784 (varying). Isaac Descendency ---------------------------- Isaac Calvert acquired a homestead on the left branch of a creek which flows into Dunkard Creek about 1/2 mile below Blacksville. Known Children of Isaac are Thomas Ezekiel Isaac Jr. Thomas was Eldest b 8 11 1767 and died 5 11 1868. It is he who started two businesses on Rudolf Run where he later would build two mills, one on Hoy Creek and one on Rudolph creek, both tributaries of Dunkard Creek. His land was at the conjunction of the two creeks where they ran into Dunkard Creek... This is near the current village of Brock. He is the grandfather of Albert Gallatin Calvert, was commissioned by William Henry Harrison for the W of 1812(fort Meigs and Tippecanoe) as documented on page 203 of Hardesty's History of WV Counties-Wetzel. He received a land grant in then VA Tyler Co later to become WV Wetzel in 1846. This grant is documented in Wetzel Co. His son Thomas Clare Calvert and grandson purchased land in the same area as the Land Grant that Thomas Received on Lynn Camp Run (the purchases were made above lynn camp run the left hand fork of Fish Creek). Thomas was B 1767 came to the dunkard creek area in 1808 and built a sawmill on Hoy Creek branch of Dunkard Creek. Later he built a grist mill which was one of 51 Grist Mills of Greene Co at the time of the 1820 census. He helped repair along with John Carter, the mill of Col John Minor at Mapletown in 1811 and he built his own grist mill as noted above in 1813. There is historic information that the mill works were hauled over the mountains from Maryland. Thomas Married Anne "Anna" Ewing b 5 11 1773 died 6 30 1842. and they had 9 children. Anna died and Thomas Married a Margaret, LNU at this moment. Apparently they had one child, Susannah or this child was the D/O margaret by the first marriage. The 1850 Census shows Thomas has a D/O born 1845 in his household. Thomas Jr(Thomas Clare) is my family line. Children of Thomas C and Anna Ewing are: John D b 7/2/1804 d 10 6 1896, , Thomas Clare born 1803, Eleanor b 1 13 1804 died 1 2 1858, Hugh Ewing b 1805, Margaret b 8 25 1805 d 1 20 1881. Sarah Miller b?, Clare b? , Matilda b mar 9 1811 Mary Anne b 1815. Susannah b 1896 was the eldest child of this family. She was b 9 30 1796 and died 12 6yt 1884. Thomas died in 1868. Thomas Clare married Elizabeth Johnson. I do have the issue of this marriage but that is in my data base at home. I am on Vacation and will post the issue of this marriage after 7/21. Hugh Ewing Calvert married Sarah Ann Miller. in the 1860 census, Thomas C is living with him in Perry TWP. Hugh and sarah had the following children in this census: Mary A age 22 last name Conner. Thomas Miller age 17. This Thomas became a medical Dr and practiced for 70 years. Catherine age 17, Sarah A. Conner age 1, Wm Delany age 18 Margaret age 50 and Susan age 15. John calvert married elenor who was born the same year as he. They had the following children: Lucinda, Richard John William Charlotte Melinda and Francis ages 17 13 11 9 and 7 in the 1850 census with Melinda and Francis ages 2 and 4 months in the 1860 census with only Charlotte of the first 5 siblings still at home and now age 16. Before living with HE, Thomas had his own HH in the 1840 Whitely TWP. He is now 73 but census shows 60 70, a f 20 30, his wife 70 80. 1 maile age 0 - 5 a male 30-40, 1 female 0-5 1 5-10 and 1 f 40-50. Susannah m a Rose and then Chalfant. Eleanor married a Thralls, Sarah a Miller and Margaret a Marshall. Hugh Ewing's line is fairly well documented but I will post it here as much as I know. Susannah Calvert Rose is documented in the 1850 census living with Ewing Calvert. No Children are listed with her. Susannah Married again to Robert Chalfant(no issue) d 12/6/1884 and is buried at the Valley Chapel Cemetery as are both HE d 11/20 1881 and Sarah Ann Miller, Hughes' wife died 3/1/1886. Susannah 7/29 1860 d 4/28 1888 wife of L Delaney and an infant daughter buried with her. Some Supporting Documentation: Robert Calvert will book 1 page 72, of Cumberland twp Liza J 8 31 1804 to Alice Calvert bond, 95 pounds by Isaac Calvert and T Livingston. Vendue 9 11 1804 shows Thomas calvert Ezekiel Calvert Jesse Chalfant Ezekiel Rose Abraham Miller among others. Account bal due by Jacob Strawn loss on Isaac Young's notes. Sarah Calvert, Mary Calvert Abraham Miller...Widow for keeping CHildren, negro for digging grave. Jess was 6 yrs 8 mo, jabey 4 yr, rezin 2 and Hirim 1. Conklin ----------- Account 2 via the Conklin family research, part of it interspersed with my notes above shows the following: >From the notes of John Conklin he indicated he was born oct 23, 1889 the son of Josiah Conklin and wife Malissa Dulaney, grandson of John Delaney and Matilda Calvert who was b Mar 9 1889. He was the great great grandson of WM Calvert b 1753 who married a wheton in 1777. Son of Reason Calvert b 1722 who married harriet Bryan. His 4th granfather was John Calvert b 1786 who married Margaret Robinson and his 5th great grandfather was george Calvert b 1661. This is the same line I had originally pursued but documented via the Conklin family. I don't have any supporting documentation but find the note on Reason(resin rezin very interesting as it mirrors the RD Furlong Book. The above Conklin notes and the following are from Dorothy T Hennens collection on Calvert Research. I do not know who provided the following but it mirrors the Conklin view. DT Hennen collection data 2 ----------------------------------------- George and John are of Geo of 1661 or 1668 of the Lord Baltimore line. George and John arrived from England in 1661.
