Jim, The Jabez Calvert in my original post married Nancy Ann Mitchell on 22 Apr 1852, who died in 1861, and then Paulina Caroline Shinn on 8 Nov 1862, both in Carroll County, MO. He was a son of Noding Calvert, who was a brother to your Jabez Calvert. They were both sons of William Calvert and Elizabeth Nodding. I am also interested (along with a lot of people!) in this last William Calvert, as they are my ancestors as well, through their daughter Mary. None of us yet know who his parents were.
