Hi, My maternal line is Calvert of County Armagh, Ireland. The Calvert family is well know, descended from John of Yorkshire who migrated to County Armagh in 1617. I am looking for Descendants of this line to participate in the Calvert Surname Project at Family Tree DNA. Contact me in this regard. My paternal line is much later in time of immigration, first to Canada, where the Bell's settled in Hemmingford Quebec before crossing to Clinton County, NY - Near Mooers. The Bells intermarried and were allied with the Fallons of Ireland, apparently in County Armagh. I am not sure exactly when the families migrated but it was some time after 1827--John Bell, son of John who is defined below, was born in Ireland. I believe that Francis Bell, b 1803, is the brother of John Bell. Descendants of Bells an Fallons migrate from Mooers NY to Jasper Co MO. John Bell b circa 1800 - killed in sectarian violence in his place of Business after 1827 and before 1837 - Spirits, distiller, Inn or "Pub"... I believe this is in Lurgan, County Armagh; found listed in the business directory of 1824. IDentified in the dirctory as J. Bell. John Fallon Also killed in sectarian violence in his place of business, also Spirits, Inn or Pub; Again before 1837 and after 1824--John Fallon also listed in in Bus. Dir 1824. Those who descend from him, indicate he was William John Fallon but the Biz directory for 1824 indentifies him as John. They were both protestants, I do not know the denomination. Both families have an anti-papist history in the background with the stories of the murders of these two heads of Household. Relations in New York from Ireland: Francis Bell b 1803 m Margaret Fallon. Son Francis Bell b 1844 Mooers NY married Mary Elizabeth Shirley after he removed from NY to Jasper Co MO. He was a bridge builder. John Bell, son of the above John Bell b 1827. immigrated with his mother Elizabeth Fallon Bell. John married Elizabeth Robinson born Scotland.
