Jim, I had the marriage of William and Jane Craig. This is the son of John Calvert. Here is why I find this William interesting ...due to the Powells. The Powells Calverts and others came out of MD to PA and western VA as the frontier opened and indian troubles began to subside. My line not documented but I believe that Isaac Calvert my line was William Isaac of John Calvert below b 1692. Jacob Calvert b1797 M Mary Powell abt 1795 married 1822. William Calvert c1799 M Rachel Powell c1799 m 1822. These two are sisters, dau. of James Powell and unknown wife. Ohio County marriages index at Marshall County, Court H. However the actually occurred in Ohio County at the time of the events. William and Jacob are sons of John Calvert b MD b 1766 m "Hetty" Esther Jones. His father Was Reuben Calvert who m Sarah Cromwell. Reuben's father was George Calvert the Younger b 1694. He is brother to John B1692 and his children are the alias Harrisons. Jcaob had Dau Jane who M Benjamin Taylor the Elder. His son Benjamin Franklin Taylor m Mary Ann Mobley and had Job Taylor who moved back across the OH to Wetzel. His son Friend Taylor who married Sarah Lemasters, mother of Virginia my mothers cousin who m Anglo Ballard, from who I have received much material. Sarah is of Isaac's line, died about 1980. My Grandmother was Isaac Lemasters and Christina Criss' Daughter, Martha who m John Ewing Calvert b 1856 Silver Hill Wetzel and who was Shot and killed at the Calvert Saloon in West, New Years Morning of 1906. Martha went to OK with son Arthur and her 3 youngest Children. Arthurs wife Lena died with one twin in 1904. The other twin did not survive 1906. Dau. Hazel and son Elmer went to OK. Hazel stayed with Lena's siblings until 1919 which was when she actually came to OK. Arthur m3 Amanda Sylvesta Rose and of issue of this marriage only my mother survives: Dorthey Lee Calvert. Walter Calvert is the son of William. Got that and children. I did not know about the other marriages. Now, I wonder who this Mary Powell is? For Mary and Rachel Powell I show James Powell, unknown mother. This would be contemporary with your Walter b 1779? Walter, b. 1791, d. 1866, married three times: Mary Powell, Parthena Gregg, and Rachel Stern. I did not know about the other marriages. I listed 4 children by Mary, Jane, Powell, Evan and William. When you get a moment you might enlighten me about the issue of the other marriages etc. I know this Walter is the son of William and his farther Thomas who m Sarah Williamson. dai
David, Do you have the proof of John Calvert being the son of Reuben Calvert? This would, of course, overturn the research that John Calvert who married Esther Jones was the son of John Calvert who resided in Upper Bald Eagle township of Mifflin County at the same time as John, Jr.. That being the case, then John who married Esther is not the brother of Job and Jacob Calvert. These two are definitely tied to the elder John Calvert through the 1790s tax rolls of Mifflin County. The elder John Calvert had two younger males living in the household at the time of the 1790 census. We have always assumed these were Job and Jacob. (The county tax rolls seem to substantiate this.) John Calvert who married Esther is listed on the 1790 Federal Census as John, Jr.. The elder John Calvert is cited as simply "John Calvert" on this census. (Upper Bald Eagle township and Potter township later became a part of Centre County.) It was assumed through information handed down by the various family members that John, Job and Jacob of Belmont County were brothers. But, other than the tradition of elders handing down this belief to their descendants, we have no definite proof of this. It makes the whole thing even more interesting.
