Karen, We have found Cynthia Calvert listed as the mother of this Alexander Calvert in two sources, O'Gorman and "Maryland Genealogies". We have been researching a William Calvert who was in Bedford County, VA at the same time. William married a Elizabeth (Betsy) Helm there in 1808. We think he and Alexander were possibly brothers, but have no proof, even though we are near Bedford County and personally researched the records there many years ago (before acquiring the books). No father is listed for Alexander in either publication, but Cynthia was the daughter of George Calvert. >From "Maryland Genealogies" the following information is quoted from Order 'Book 2, page 397, Sept. 24, 1804. Cynthia Calvert of the County of Bedford and State of Virginia to her son, Alexander Calvert of Bedford County, power of attorney " to call upon John Calvert of Prince William County, the administrator of my father, George Calvert, deceased, for a just and full settlement." ' According to " O'Gorman" another George Calvert is her grandfather. Bernard Calvert Danville, Virginia Am searching for the parents of either Alexander Calvert or Nancy Mayhew who were married in Bedford County, Virginia Aug 16, 1805. They later moved to White County, Illinois. Does anyone have them in their notes? Karen
