I forwarded this to Darrell to make sure he got it. I am not sure of
a John N Shepherd but if it is related to Calverts then it is my guess that a Jacob Calvert married mary "Polly" Shepherd. She was the daughter of Nathan Shepherd Sr. I have seen where Jacob is attributed as being the son of John Calvert who married Jane Swayne, thus of Thomas Calvert who married Sarah Williamson, son of Joshua who married Deborah Harlan, son of John of Armagh and Judith Stamper.
I don't personally know any other connection, if this is what you are
referring to. However, Darrell might know. I do know also that this Shepherd descent, married Lemasters and Taylors as well.

David and Darrell,
What do you know abow a Mr.John N. Shepherd? If you know who he is I have a newspaper clipping about him. I will send to you via e-mail as I do not feel right now that is something we need to post. That can come at a later date.
I have all you have named in my line. I have a copy of the marriage papers of Sarah "Sallie" Calvert and George Elliott.
The more I read in my book the more I know we are cousins of some kind. I do not do the remove thing it messes me up.
I just had to add this befor I hit the hay.

ANY INFO ON THE CALVERTS WILL BE
APPRECIATED jACK hUTCHINSON
David, I've been working on some Milligans who left Cecil Co, very near
Chester Co line, before 1800 and moved to Mifflin Co. Since my Sarah
Calvert was in Cecil Co, b abt 1800, I'm wondering if your John Calvert may
have also moved from Cecil or Chester Co to Mifflin Co. But I'm not having
much luck finding Calverts here, except the Baltimore group and the Quaker
group.

Hi LeAnn
I have been posting quite a lot lately on the DNA material and cannot contribute directly to your query. However, I think my grandfather, Arthur Clay Calvert may have had Calvert children by two women whom he divorced or at least the marriage broke up. I know the following to give you a general idea:
Arthur Clay Clavert b 1876 m4 times. The first was at age 16 in 1892 to Cynthia Harrison. They lived in Illinois and Cynthias family lived in Saline County. By 1900 Arthur is divorced and living back in Wetzel Co WV. He marry's Lena Ensinger who died shortly after childbirth in 1904. He goes to OK before Statehood and then back to Wetzel, then to Il again as he marries an Ida Seed(maiden name? married name?) Ida had a son Virgil Seed and then one with Arthur, Merle Calvert. Now somehow, this marriage disolves before 1914 as Arthur goes back to OK, and marry's his fourth wife, Amanda Sylvesta Rose, my grandmother. The family knew two of the Children of Arthur and Lena and My Mother knew there was a marriage in Il because AC had a news article saying that he was res;ponsible for no debts other than his own... THis had to be the divorce with Ida...Ida might be a seed who had an illegitimate son Virgil, half brother to merle Calvert. But she could be the sister of Cynthia Harris!
on...who had sister Ida Mae. I do not know this for sure, just speculating that this Ida could be a Harrison who married a Seed and then Arthur in 1910 in IL.
I know there is a Merle Calvert in IL who is half brother to my mother. She has no idea who this is but I found the record so now I have a name. There are Calverts seeking or not knowing their origin who are related to me and they would be in IL, namely descended from Merle.
Moreover, Arthur married Cynthia Harrison in IL in 1892. She and he would be 16 at the time of the marriage which tells me that that must have been a shotgun type wedding. I have no idea yet about possible Calvert children of this marriage.
I thought to write this because I didn't know about Cynthia or Ida
until this year. I knew that he was married in IL.
If any of this rings a bell with you let me know.
regards,
Dai

Hello. Thought I'd repost my interest. I am searching for information on

him. You may wonder why I don't know, but basically my great grandmother

as a widow in the 1940 Covington, Kentucky directory. Anyway - the only
information I have on him is from their marriage record (an entry for him
doesn't exist in the SSDI). His name is Leonard Calvert, he was born in
Chicago, Illinois around 1910 and his parents were John Calvert and Mary
Singer. He apparently moved to Cincinnati, Ohio and worked as a bellboy at
the Cincinnati Club where he met my great grandmother (and her sister - she
worked there as well) Loretta Arnold. They lived at 616 Vine Street at the
time of marriage in 1937. They moved across the river to Covington into the
Arnold family house where Donald James Calvert (my grandfather) was born.
He was the only child born. He is listed on the birth certificate as
working for the UHLP which is the Covington energy company. He doesn't
appear in the 1940 directory and the next directory shows Loretta as
widowed. He's a mystery! Hoping a Chicago area Calvert may find John
Calvert and Mary Singer familiar. Thanks for any help!
PS. I recently sent away for a birth certificate at the Cook County Vital
Statistics Office, but as I didn't have a specific date, I recieved a birth
certificate for a Leonard Calvanoo - which wasn't mine :). I have sent it
back in and they are going to check again to see if they can find him. So,
it's a possibility he wasn't actually born in Cook County.

You probably had told me your line and I had lost it in all the distance and people and then with a flurry we begin to draw firm conclusions and I didn't remember.
Thanks for writing.
We need very much one of your Calvert Male cousins to do the test. You have my email and I yours but I want to keep putting material on the msg boards somewhere where others can find it...
We have contributors, I started a web page for calverts and the DNA particpants are going to go over 25 real soon.
We have one of John of Mifflin Descendents in OK I am trying to track them down...
With Covered, your line, Ken Calvert and Darrell Elliott, then we are making headway.

Gail,
now darn it, if you had shared this, I wasn't in the place at the time that I am now to make the connection and had forgotten about it.
I knew that if I put the query out there, someone would know someone who could do the Y test. I have been asked also about beginning to support DNA for the maternal input but had not gotten to even considering it. BUT: If you have a Male Calvert Cousin, that is just what Darrell and I need!
Thus we could begin to match up Calverts via DNA...my own 2nd cousin is doing the DNA and if we have two from John of Mifflin line it will help. If Isaac of Greene County Matches then it demonstrates the connection...this is where Ken Calvert comes in as well and I have his sample already. So we might be able to more than triangulate because of of John of Mifflin's family descendents is in OK...
I still have your email but want to keep posting what we are looking for and what we found on one msg board or the other...
Let me know how I can help...the cost of the 25 Marker test is 169.00. We had 5 matches among the first 6 results but have had to go back and order the 25 marker for 2 more test and all the rest are 25 markers. We also have a bunch of the Harrison's results at FT/DNA as well.
If we can get one of your cousins or distant ones who are Calverts either John etc, I am ecstatic...dai

Hi David,
I have a small bit of info for you. I have John Calvert and John Calvert Jr. living in Mifflin County, Penn. in 1790. Isaac Calvert living in East Marlborough Township, Chester County, Penn.
Here is something I have to share with you and Darrell. It is from a book written by a family member:
The Calverts left Penn. shortly after 1800, and they settled near the Ohio River in Belmont County, Ohio.
This tradition was told by John Calvert Cole, Columbus, Ohio, to his daughter, Gwendolyn.
" Great-Grandfather John Calvert John Calvert and family crossed over the Allegeny Mountains of western Pennsylvania and came into the state of Ohio. His wife, Esther {Jones}, rode horseback and had two of their children on the horse with her. One child rode behind her, and the other child, an infant, she held in her arms. John Calvert {Esther's husband} walked."
Source: Gwendolyn Coe in a letter dated May 11, 1981, she was the daughter of Jessie D. {Smith} and John Calvert Coe.
With that being said, and I think I have told you before, I go
John Calvert and Hetty Esther Jones
John Calvert and Edith Beale
Esther Jane Calvert and Henry John Huggins
George William Huggins and Sarilda Bevins
J. Gail Huggins and Winifred Juanita Moody
Jean Gail Huggins and Alma Elizabeth Bowman
Gail Ann Huggins {me}
Would my bline work? I have some male cousins that might do the test.
I also would like to share my book with you and Darrell as we stem from the same line.

Hi,
This Wiley Calvert was born Ardell, AL and died at Jasper in 1976.
He married Frances Harbison. his father was William Marion Calvert
who married Elvira Brooks... I got the birth and death date from the SSDI and found a family tree that is the guy. I can't verify the marriage or children but it shows children Bernice, Vedmer "Gene", Durant, Frances and Ferrel. I do not find his mother as Virginia.
Is this who you are looking for? dai

this Wiley of PW is more likely related to my family. Wiley who married the harbison is of the deep south Calverts, ie, AL GA etc. No reason to apologize... I just knew you had posted to the thread...lol. This Wiley in AL is related to Gaston Calvert who has participated in the DNA study.

Wiley Calvert is documented in the book: "Our Calvert Cousins", by Dewel Lott. I don't have the book at the office but can check it for you when I get home.
I am sure Dewel would be willing to assist on this as well if you email him with a query. I also am seeking male Descendents of this line to take the DNA test. I have one participant already but need at least two more...one for
Wiley's line and in the origin, there are brothers and cousins who migrate to America at the time of the Revolutionary War.
One of the Calvert lines of Canada is related to these Calverts as at the time of arrival, do to the Insurrection, one of the brothers being a Loyalist, moved to Canada. This Calvert line is also needed for a DNA sample.
