Hello, Steven, Interesting information. I am directly related to a Jabez Calvert, but he married a Malinda Barnes and was born about 1805. Do you have any information on who are the parents of the Jabez you mention? I am also looking for the parents of a William Calvert who died in Carroll County, Missouri. he was married to Elizabeth Nodding. He was born about 1757 in Virginia. Any Information on these Calverts? Thanks, Jim at [email protected] Steven Gillispie wrote: > A few weeks ago I mentioned that some relatives of mine sent me some records > they made of Calvert gravestones in the Big Creek Cemetery in Carroll > County, Missouri.

Brother Jim: The Jabez Calvert listed by Steven as buried in the Big Creek Cemetery is NOT the Jabez Calvert that was the son of William and Elizabeth Calvert. The Jabez who married Paulina Shinn was the son of Nodding Calvert, the brother of our Jabez. CALVERT Jabez Feb 19, 1829 Nov 12 1889 Paulina July 15, 1843 Sept 21, 1924 Go to the following site and look at individual no. 7167: www.code-co.com/rcf/ancestry/ogorman.htm
