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. I thought I would post these to the list in case anybody might be interested. The Big Creek Cemetery is located about 1 mile south and 3 miles west of Bosworth, MO. To get there, head west from Bosworth on Ssr M (South St) to the intersection with Ssr Uu and turn left (south). Follow the road as it curves to the right (west) at the railroad tracks and then goes almost two miles and turns left (south). At that intersection, instead of following the main road to the left, go straight ahead on Cr 317 about 1/2 mile where the road turns right (north). The cemetery is located at that turn, sitting above Big Creek. You can get to the cemetery from Carrollton by turning right (east) onto Ssr Uu from US hwy 65 going north from Carrollton, midway through the slight jog to the right (east) about 3 miles north of town. After about 8-9 miles later of turns on Ssr Uu you again reach the intersection with Cr 317, this time from the other direction (south). The cemetery is there because of the Big Creek Baptist Church that was there. According to the 1881/2 history of Carroll County (http://www.carolnet.com/cchs/publicat.htm), the church was organized June 22, 1844, with Noding Calvert and Jane Calvert among the original members. The book "Missouri Genealogical Gleanings, 1840 & Beyond", by Sherida K. Eddlemon, Heritage Books, 1995, volume 2, lists the church membership roster for 1844-1872. There are many Calverts shown there. In the records that follow, a '?' indicates dates that were too worn to read. If you are interested in any of these graves, you might also want to see Elizabeth Prather Ellsberry's transcription of this cemetery (http://www.execpc.com/~pipesb/elsbery.htm), volume IV for Carroll County, Missouri. I believe she did these in the 1960s, so you would have the benefit of 30 less years of weather erosion in her book, as well as a second source of information. ************* William N.
