RE the "William Calvert mystery" The letter to Mrs. Goodman. in possession of Gladys Calvert Durnill explains she *("the elderly aunt") chooses Ann and George as the Crupper connection rather than the other Calvert/Crupper couple Jacob and Sarah (Crupper) Calvert for the parents of William because the Carroll county family reunions included some of the Deatheridge stepcousins. George had married a Mrs. Deatheridge after Ann Crupper Calvert died, .... Does William, b 1757, name any of his children George or Ann??????? -----Original Message----- From: Laura Crane <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 10:29 PM Subject: Re: Calverts According to the O'Gorman book page 667 Cynthia was born July 22, 1822, Booneville, MO. died April 1, 1862 in Carrol County Married Henderson Durnil October 11, 1850. Her dad was William the son of William. I see by my notes this is Gladys Calvert Durnill's line so I guess maybe Gladys may be from Boonville. That's Cooper County rather than Boone. I wonder if I could find Cynthia's marriage record in Cooper County since I don't see it in Boone as she was born there in Cooper County. Astonishingly enough tho I do find a Henderson Durnill head of household,# 1869, in Boone County in the 1850 census book. It appears Henderson Durnill is a widower age 36 born in VA with children in the household William P Eli N James H Benjamine F Jerome H Calvert and a James Cato and James Perdin. Whoops, here's something interesting in the Boone County Marriage Book>>>> Cynthia HAWKINS and Henderson B Durnill are wed on Oct 10, 1850 in Boone County, MO. Now I guess I've got to find where Cynthia Crupper Calvert married a Hawkins first??? I'll have to sign off there are 6 pages to look up Hawkins in 1850 book for Boone County. I guess she's a widow on the next farm in the summer of 1850. More later. Laura C Hope Gladys has e mail This William/William is her line too as mentioned above. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Bardell <[email protected]> To: Laura Crane <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 2:22 PM Subject: Calverts Laura, The thread about Cynthia Crupper Calvert started (for me) on the list, but thanks for Gladys' address. William Calvert (the grandfather) was active in the Baptist Church. You can assume that the Missouri Calverts were protestant. O'Gorman says that Cyintha married Henderson Durnil. The Durnil family spells her name Jacintha (It appears that way in the 1860 US Census). They tell me Jacintha and Henderson were married 10 Oct 1850 in Rochport, Boone Co. MO. (Book B, pg 17) There is some confusion in my mind as to when she died. I think they lived and died in Carroll Co., MO sometime after 1870. Keep us posted. Paul Bardell
