Um, hehe, your listmanager might have something to say about being the closest as "I" am descended from John and Winifred Smith :) Just thought you might like to know that at least two of us (my father is also on the list) on the list descend from this line through John and Winifred's son Richard. Just thought I'd speak up! :) Christi Calvert Brogan Proud Rootsweb Donor Visit our list pages at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cbrogan Visit our personal homepage at http://users.idworld.net/brogan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 16, 1999 11:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CALVERT-L] O'Gorman Book Joan, The John Calvert who married Winifred Smith was a cousin of my 4th greatgrandfather, Rueben Calvert. Barbara Calvert's husband, Bill Calvert, is probably your closest relative on the mailing list. Bill descends from John's older brother, Francis Calvert (If memory serves me correctly, if not Barbara can correct this). This branch of the Pr. William Calverts has the distinction of everybody migrating to Ohio, while the rest of the family stayed in the South.
