Katy,
can you provide a quote of which land sale in AL to which you refer, a copy of the image or an extract? I do know that one of the children of Edward was born in AL...can't recall of top of my head which one. It is for the reason of DNA proof, that we are trying to show that the DNA match at 25 markers, will be conclusive to paternity for Edward as being a brother of Jos., Jon. and Wm. Once that result is back we will know that he is or isn't of the same father. If not, then he is likely the son of James Calvert of Botetourt Co VA. This is where Robert, James and William Calvert came from in removing to Sevier County TN...and further, the Canterbury's came from Botetourt as Jeanne noted. I am not for sure who the father is of the 3 brothers described in Dewel's book but William seems likely as he deeded land to 2 of the 3 of them. If so, since Edward was in the same county, it is my opinion that he was likely the brother of the other 3. That Patrick comes up as a name in his !
line, I would say that this shows a connection to your James H--circumstantial but certainly fitting what you know of your James as compared to what Jeanne and I have run into
looking at Edward's line.
This much I do know in discussing this with Dewel: He knew of all of these Calverts in and of Sevier and Saline Co Ar to TX but couldn't find a documented connection. DNA shows that Edward, Jon. Joseph and Wm share a common ancestor.
Do you have a male descendant of James H. who could participate in the DNA project? If so we could obtain at least a 37 marker DNA sample to show common paternity and anestral DNA origin. It would show if the line is from the same ancestor or a different line, ie, adjacent(different descents from brothers who share a common ancestor).

Katy,
Just thought of something else... Robert Calvert, son of Edward Alexander, moved to Texas and then returned to Oklahoma. He had a Coral and livestock place in southern Oklahoma, near where Boggy Depot was located--he supplied horses to the area. I don't know if this had anything to do with Edward Alexander, but his place was located first south of Boggy Depot and then just north and east(2 or 3 miles). Boggy Depot was a stage stop for the Butterfield Stage route west.

Katy,
I don't know about any grants for the expedition but it would not surprise me, ie, perhaps Mills County or something. I have a book and will and see if it has anytyhing on grants for this expedition. I know the years, 1842-1848 were of the critical period for the Republic of Texas..most people know about the Alamo only, so might never have heard of the Miers Exp. or many other historical events of the period, not being from or living or having lived in Texazs(you know, that Texican pride).
I will look and see if it has anything about it and post back if there is something useful.

Oh, I forgot -- Patrick moved to Indiana and settled there approx 1810 and especially in Vanderburgh County. You can google Vanderburgh County and Patrick Calvert's name and Leroy Calvert -- his son.

Do you know if Edward had any brothers....my relative Patrick was born approx 1789 and he said he was born in VA although his son says Virginia -- anyway, Patrick has a son named Patrick Casey b 1830 who travels to visit a "Uncle Jimmy" -- probably a cousin James Calvert in Robertson County who was in the Mier Expedition during The Republic of Texas. The internet shows a James H Calvert in the Republic of Texas and receiving Land Grants -- just google texas land grants - shows property in James H. name in four different counties, which is also odd is that he received land in Hamilton county too and that is also where Patrick Casey took his family after visiting for a while in Robertson.....I don't know if it is the same James H Calvert.

There is a James H.Calvert or James Calvert (same person) listed on the militia rolls for THE MIER EXPEDITION for The Republic of Texas -- kind of fascinating what happened to all of them. Anyway, James H was captured, tried to escape to the mountains and then finally got back to Texas. This is a relative of ours. He settled in Robertson County. My question -- could James H brother of Alexander son of Edward have traveled to Texas to scout out the state, end up in the expedition then after it was over -- go back and get the rest of his family in Arkansas and then tell them all about it. He was given land for serving in The Republic of Texas - I think. Then Edward and Alexander and maybe cousin Robert decided to leave Arkansas to come to Texas....these Calverts obviously liked to travel. Do you think that could of happened. There is a court case where Edward is petitioning the court in Alabama to sell some land for $4000 and it lists his children as Elizabeth, James, !
Alexander and William. Do you think this is the same James H.?

Catherine,
I'm sorry, I gave you wrong info, it was Alexander not James H. that helped build the jail in Owenville. Alexander is James Hill's brother. James however, did go to Robertson TX around 1860 and is found in that census.
Alexander md. Elizabeth Ann Posey in Saline Co AR.. Ruth, her widowed mother, md. Edward abt 1844 in AR.. I have more info if you would like to have it.
How are you related?

Catherine,
James H. was in AR Saline Co in 1850. I don't believe this is the one in 1842. This James H. md a Lucy Ellen in AR and then around 1860 he is in Robertson Co TX..he and a few more cousins and families followed Robert to TX.. James Hill helped build the 1st jail in Owenville. He is buried in Franklin Cemetary in Robertson Co,TX..
James is s/o Edward Calvert b. around 1890 TN and Nancy Canterbury b. march 19 1795 likely Botetcourt Co TN..
Robert Calvert of Calvert TX, is a cousin per an Atchley relatives bio in AR., where as he said he was named for his cousin Robert.
I would like to know more of the James H you are seeking. You never know, he could have been there.

Edward Alexander b 1853 is the father of Robert Calvert, grandfather of Robert, and great-grandfather of Robert Calvert of Atoka OK of my acquaintance. DNA from Robert of Atoka matches the DNA of other Calverts descended from Edward Calvert b 1788 m Nancy Canterbury. Yes, I Believe that you and I are on the same page with your James H.
Keep in mind though, there are two Edward Calverts who get mixed up sometimes -- Edward A or Edward Alexander Calvert was the son of Patrick Taylor Calvert. The other Edward, born at a similar time is of different father. I will check my notes on that but the birth date is a different date. You might search the msg history at the Yahoo Group Calvert_Genealogy for that. You need also email Jeanne Garner regarding this or post a query at the group for her.
When I more out, I will post it here. Patrick Taylor was the son of Edward Calvert b 1788.

Robert Calvert found 1860 CensusRobertson Co TX - is the Robert who founded Calvert, TX. I believe but cannot prove that he is kin to your James H via Edward and that Edward is the brother or Cousin of Joseph, Jonathan and William Calvert of TN who removed to AL.
DNA will show this as brother or cousin shortly.
In my previous response which went to the gent looking for the Armstrong/Calvert Connection, I noted EFO adding Robert Calvert of Calvert Tx as a son of Richard, which is clear wrong but I take it EFO rushed this in and left it at that.

All,
This is not my family line, but DNA has shown that Edward Calvert Descendant DNA matches that of Jonathan b 1790 and William b 1792/3 who have known brother Joseph b 1782. These latter 3 are brothers although we are waiting confirmation DNA for 37 Markers on the two different lines to show paternity if possible to a "William Calvert" who deeded land to Jon. and Wm in AL.
I found Robert Calvert of Atoka OK who descends from Edward Alexander b 1853 via his son Robert and grandson Robert to Robert Calvert of Atoka.
We are awaiting participation from a descendant of Joseph for verification of DNA for the 3rd of the family line.
It is my belief now, that Edward (and the others were born of a William, James and/or possibly a THomas who removed from VA to TN. William ostensibly according to the family story left TN due to a misadventure where he thought he killed someone. Robert and James Calvert who came to Sevier Co TN were from Botetourt County, VA as was William. There is a Canterbury marriage involved here and the Canterbury's were prominent in Sevier Co. Edward Calvert Married Nancy Canterbury so
although I have not proven this, I believe that the WIlliam Calvert who removed to AL is the William Calvert who came out of Botetourt Co, VA.
I want to note that William Calvert who married Lucy Rogers(b 1775) is said to be the father of Robert Calvert of Calvert Texas b 1802 who m Mary Keesee.
Again, this is not my family line but Ella O'Gorman added
Robert of Calvert TX to her book(Although not documented) Indicating that he descended from Richard Calvert b 1669 who m Sarah in MD and removed to VA. EFO did not document this, and the statement in the book is clearly wrong, but I believe she rushed this in at the end to get it put in the book that Robert of Calvert TX was of Richard's line(I have been unable to document this in any form).
Lastly, since I am on the topic of a William Calvert: There is a William Calvert b ? perhaps about 1790 who is found in court records, MD eastern Shore, Somerset Co MD. He is a "PLanter" being sued for 1,000 LB of Tobacco in 1726 and 1733. I believe he is the father of ALexander Calvert b c 1720-25 who married Mary Wheeler, daughter of Isaac Wheeler in 1744 Coventry PE, Old Somerset. THey had issue documented in the Coventry PE: Willam b 1744/5, Isaac b 1747/8, Alexander Neal b 1751? maybe it was 53. They had daughters Betty, Mary and another. I believe Betty died as an infant. Also there was at least one other son, but the name is difficult to read in Census data as HoH--at least I believe he is the son of Alexander. William Wheeler Calvert and Isaac his brother, are I Believe found in Queen Anne's Co Census in 1790(Princess Ann?) anyway, in MD. Alexander Neal stays and is alive in Somerset Co in 1820 as Neal Calvert. Going back earlier in records you will find other Calver!
ts here, Levin being a prominate name which I associate with the Powell's of MD and others who are associated with the early settlement at St. Mary's and also the Calverts.
These folks are found with different spellings of the surname, Colbert and Colvert as well. This was something which was communicated to JBC Nicklin by O'GOrman in letters, to look for people on MD eastern Shore using the spelling Colbert. This was due, I Believe to her late discovery re: Rhodam Calvert (Colbert) in Baltimore City. I found Rhodam there married and this became an interesting story as well--who were his wives.
By 1820 Census he had 4 children. Mary Ann, a cousin is whom EFO gives the children after 1830 but I found a will of William Burgess filed 1832/1833 which indicated that Rhodam Calvert was husband of his daughter Sally in 1833. Thus I believe that Sally was the mother of the children b 1827-35, Mary Ann's Children being last born dates say, after 1837 or 39. This does not account for
the first wife, who is said to be Martha.
It is my opinion and I know at least one other researcher who believes that among the first 4 children are Jesse Calvert b 1810.
There is quite a bit in the history messages at Calvert_Genealogy discussion group at yahoo groups regarding Rhodam and the Jesse Calverts. This discussion group accompanies the DNA project at
family Tree DNA.
Back to William Calvert, Planter: It is possible he is William Cavert III, William Calvert II being untraced, son of William Calvert, PSOM drowned Wicomico R in 1782 -- m Elizabeth Stone. He is in the right place to be a William Calvert b c 1790 who needed a guardian In Charles Co MD? in 1707. This, i believe, is year Elizabeth Stone Calvert died perhaps in St. Mary's but it may have been Charles Co.
One last note: Ethelbert Doyne died in Old Somerset. His will proved though, in Charles Co by attny because his wife died before settlement of the estate. This is the brother of Joshua and Elizabeth, children of Robert Doyne of Ireland, Elizabeth being said to have md. George Calvert b 1668(also m Ann Notley and can't recall the third wife).
