Sue, Have not heard from you for a while. Just a quick up date. Based on information Cindy Owens had in her files, a couple of us got together and hired a researcher in PA., Mr. Justin Houser. He found information that indicated the Calverts who settled in Belmont County c. 1800; (John, husband of Esther Jones, Job, and Jacob) were in Bald Eagle Township of Mifflin County (now Centre County) PA. This was based on head tax roles for males in the county. He believes that there was another John Calvert in the township who appears to be the father of John, Job, Jacob and Sallie. He is going to do further research into the records of Northhumbeland County to see if he can find records of land sales, etc... He was not able to find a will or a probate of any sort. The problem in research at this moment is due to the change of the township from Northumberland County to Mifflien County, and then to Centre County. The records for the township are in three different County seats. We are no further in finding the connection of our branch to any of the other Calverts than we were before. However, we are out of Belmont County.
