We know Calvin married a Lucy, she filed for his pension while in MD. In 1880, both were living with his older brother, Ezra in Grant, Marion County, WV. We are descended from their youngest brother, Homer. There were at least 11 children by Elizabeth, then 3 more by Jefferson's 2d wife, Mary Meredith. At one point, I was corresponding with someone who was descended from Calvin thru their daughter, Myrtle - but off the top of my head can not remember who. Is this your CALVIN and LUCY??? Would love to know what you have found on the Gilpin family. Gerri Gilpin
