    1. [CALVERT-L] John Calvert of Elberta Co., Georgia
    2. 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]
