Dan: The information you posted in regard to William's parentage is interesting. It appears we may be moving closer. However, for now I still remain unconvinced. Hopefully, upon your return and perusal of the information in detail, more facts will emerge which will be conclusive. An article in the Carroll Co. MO. History 1910-1968, pub. by Carrol Co. Hist. Soc. [FHL# 977.8225 H2c] entitled "The Family of Isaac Newton Calvert" lists a daughter of Issac Newton Calvert named Cecil [that's what it says, a daughter "Cecil"] who apparently was married to Or[ville? Unfortunately, my photocopy cropped off a few letters at the end of each column.] Goodman. This seems to be the Mrs. Goodman mentioned in the letters. The article gives the ancestry back only to William and Elizbeth (Nodding) and appears to be a paraphrase of O'Gorman. For those who don't have access to the original, I have transcriped the article below. [I'll try to get a better copy in the near future and repost the article, taking out all of the speculative ??'s that I have included. Keep in mind that the article was probably written sometime near 1968, the date of publication of the book. The author is not indentified.] "THE FAMILY OF ISACC NEWTON CALVERT Most of the Carroll County Calverts had their beginnings, in this country, in the State of Maryland. One William, of Frederick Co., Md., fought as a youth of 19 years in the War of Independence under the leadership of Captain Phillip Maroney of the Flying Camp. Later he married Elizbeth Nodding, a Virginian, and together they followed the migratory route through the Cumberland Gap to Tennessee where most of their numerous children were born. Among them was another William who married Elizabeth Fine and together they sought a new life in Cooper County, Missouri. They produced a large family, several of them moving to Carroll County in 1844, after the death of their mother. Among them was still another William who married Martha Mitchell. Their children were Peter Fine, Elizabeth, William, John and George. Peter Fine Calvert served in the Union Army in the Civil War under the command of his uncle, Captain David Calvert. He later married Mary Ellen Goodson and they were the parents of seven sons: William Goodson, Arthur Keane, Isaac Newton, Gilbert, Stephen Mitchell, George Fine, and James Blaine. After the death of his wife, Peter Fine married Margaret Henderson and they were the parents of a daughter Jo. Isaac Newton (1896-1941), the third son of Peter Fine and Mary Ellen Calvert, married Nancy Jane Finley (1870-1956) and following the tradition of his forefathers engaged in the occupation of farming until he was elected to the office of sheriff of Carroll County in 1908. With his wife and four children, he moved to Carrollton, where they continued to reside. The eldest daughter, Mary Ellen (1897-1951) was educated in the Carrollton Schools and taught the Van Horn Rural School. She was married to Grover C. Jones, attorney at law, junior member of the law firm of S.J. & G.C. Jones. Mary Ellen was a florist in Carrollton for many years. Her only child, Jackson Calvert Jones (1918- ), was graduated from Washington and Lee Univ. in Virginia and followed his father and grandfather in the legal profession. He served in the Missouri Senate several terms and is presently U.S. Referee in Bankruptcy for West Missouri with offices in Kansas City. He is married to Vi[probably Virginia. Here is where my copy starts to go bad] Rowland Jones. A second daughter, Cecil (1899- ), attended Ste[?] College in Columbia, Mo., and followed the teaching prof[ession] for several years. Later she was employed by the Service [?] Line Co. in a secretarial capacity. She was married to Or[ville?] Goodman and they were the parents of one child, Nancy [?] (1922- ). Nancy was graduated from William Woods Co[llege?] in Fulton, Mo. She was married to Dan Int-Hout Jr. of Chi[Chillicothe, Chicago?] a Captain in the Air Force in World War II. He is pre[sently?] President of Michigan Carton Co., Battle Creek, Mich. [A] son, Dan Int-Hout III, was graduated from Denison U[niversity?] Granville, Ohio, and is a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force [stationed, or at?] Mather Air Force Base in Calif. Their daughter, Karen [is a?] junior in the Univ. of Michigan. A third child of Isaac Newton and Nancy Jane Calvert [died?] in infancy. Harold Calvert (1903- ) attended the Univ of M[? and] was employed for many years by the Kansas City Power [and?] Light Co. in Carrollton. After retirement, he contributed n[umer-]ous feature articles to metropolitan newspapers and mag[azines?]. He and his sister, Cecil Goodman, reside in the family ho[me in?] Carrollton. Herbert Calvert (1906-1959) attended Washington U[niversity? in] St. Louis and was employed by the First National Bank o[f Car-?]rollton for many years. He was married to Anne Morre a[nd to-?]gether they operated a Davis Paint Store in Carrollton [for a?] number of years." I post this now, as incomplete and messy as it is, on the theory that it may help you [Dan] while you are going through the papers.
