To those of you who are descendants of William Calvert and Elizabeth Nodding and son John and Dorcas (Collier) Calvert, would you be interested in hearing a re-hash of how we apparently do connect with the main branch of the Calverts? You may have already discussed this problem as mentioned in Mrs. Ella O-Gorman's 1940's excellent book. I am a long-time genealogist but new to the Calvert list. The theory is that our William, in fact, descends from George and Ann (Crupper) Calvert, that the latter couple did have a son, our William Calvert b 1757, (Mrs. O'Gorman's researchers do treat William Calvert but in a separate section of he book She was not aware of the apparent connection to George and Ann (Crupper) Calvert. William's grandaughter a Cynthia Crupper Calvert shows up being Christened as Cynthia CRUPPER Calvert, thus verifying that our William has to be a son of the George Calvert and Ann Crupper. (George later marries a Ms. Deatherage) I'll get the dates for the participants for you in an upcoming message should I hear feedback showing interest in this trivia. Thanks for listening, Laura Crane, central Missouri Calverts' connection. -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Calvert <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, January 02, 2000 10:51 AM Subject: [CALVERT-L] Re: CALVERT-D Digest V00 #1 Jan. 3, 2000 Re Irish Calverts In THE CALVERTS WHO WERE QUAKERS by J. Richard Buckey, he has a great deal of Irish background. He says that John Calvert lived in Lurgam, Co. Armagh. His son, Thomas b. ca 1617 d. PA. Thomas' son, John b. 1648 near Belfast d. in PA. He had been disowned. Dau. Mary Calvert b. 1687 recorded in Quaker info. Mary's bro. John b. ca 1689 in PA d. 1739 VA. There was a Robert Calvert, Get. was the only Calvert who received manorial rights in the Ulster Plantation. He could have been Lord Baltimore's bro. dimgprr. More: John Calvert b. ca1587/9----buried Drumgorr, IRE came to NO IRE 1617 having m. in Yorkshire, Eng. Buried in Friends Burial Ground, Moyraverty. THomas Calvert m. Jane Glassford. He was b. 1617, Ire. d. 1685, PA. John Calvert s/o Thomas b. near Belfast m. Judith Stamper. The will of Thomas Calvert 1617-1685 of Chester Co., PA. John Calvert & wife were not Quakers. More info. about all the families in the book. BUT It is believed that John etc. were all related in some way to Lord Baltimore. It could have been that John Calvert b. ca1587/9 was prob. another son of Leonard Calvert, father of Lord Baltimore. In his will, Geo. Calvert, 1st Lord Baltimore, mentions kindred in the "North". There could be a cousin relationship. Hope this is somewhat helpful.
