Surnames: Calvert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WQH.2ACEB/981.1 Message Board Post: According to RD Furlong in a book titled Dulany-Furlong Kindred Families There is an Appendix which shows Isaac B1735 Ezekiel B1755 Mary and Thomas b1769 Originally I thought there must be a generation between isaac and Thomas because of the age of isaac and the birth date of Thomas as 1784. If Thomas were b1769, he would have been 43 years old in 1812(he was commissioned by Harrison) and could be my Thos. The record below shows ezekiel Zeal George John and Reuben in the rev war. Thomas b1769 would have been too young. But linking ezekiel his brother to my line and finding this record makes me think that there is a linkage. I am trying to sort this line out and had thought the book to be wrong but now think otherwise. My Thomas who had the children shown in the book and family record(Thomas,John, Hugh Ewing, Clare, Mary and Matilda). The Thomas of my line fought in the W of 1812, at Tippecanoe under Harrison and was at Ft. Meigs. The Thomas I show in the issue of Thomas(1) is the eldest child. He is not shown in the Furlong book(Thomas C which I believe is Thomas Clare Calvert). Laree' McDaniel posted at Genealogy.com in relation to various queries the following and it might relate to my line of thought....I have Ezekiel born 1755. She is showing Zeal and attrributing it in some cases as a nickname of Basil which might be true but in noting Zeal, she also has a record of Ezekiel in the Revolutionary war and ezekiel shows in my research the elder brother of my Thomas. I quote her post here: from the William and Mary Quarterly, it is like an index to these Calverts. Zeal (sic) Calvert signed a petition at Dumfries,Prince William County Virginia,1788. He died in Mason County Ky.,in 1831 it is said. Zealy Calvert served in the 3rd Virginia Regt. (Cf. Zealy Reno. He may have been identical with Basil or Bazil Calvert and the name Zeal or Zealy a form of that name. If so he was born 1755. Zealy Reno was born in Prince William Co.,Va.,1757 and died in Harrison Co.,Ky., 1837. He married in Fauqier Co.,Va., April 3,1775, Mary Chinn (1754-1838) and his daughter Penelope Reno, married Cecilius Calvert (born 1792) of Kentucky. Zeal Calvert, together with Ezekial,George, John and Rueben Calvert served in the 3rd Virginia Regt., Revolutionary War, 1778-1781. Zealy Calvert was "in arrears" for taxes for the district below Cedar Run, Prince William Co.,Va., 1790. Zelah (sic) Calvert was a buyer at the sale of the estate of John Calvert desceased, Prince William Co.,Va., 1788.
