Do you have information on the ancestry of the Calverts in Kemper County, Mississippi? My paternal grandmother, Nina Tucker Calvert, researched and found our lineage went back to County Derry, Ireland with Adam Calvert.

I should have checked first. There are some CALVERT DNA tests available. After a very quick look there seems to be many different results. One surname project appears to have broken links so I can't find details regarding this study. Only a couple of CALVERT DNA results appear close to each other and others appear to have different haplogroups even thought they have the same surname.
To try and determine what is happening with the CALVERT DNA I would have to do a lot more checking but initially I would say there are multiple CALVERT trees not genetically connected. This could mean the surname has numerous sources.

I am curious to know how some have determined Alan Calvert may have changed his name from Calverley. Since there were numerous men with the name Walter Calverley it would seem difficult to determine which man it may have been.
The given name, Alan did not appear to be common in the CALVERLEY tree, nor did it seem common amongst English families back in the 1400s. It appears to be more Scottish.
Some of the ancient history regarding the CALVERLEY surname indicates the source as a Scot named John. In some trees I have found different men took different surnames due to circumstances. You many have found information about how some took the CALVERLEY name when they inherited some land. Some trees indicate some of the family branched off and used the surname SCOT. We also find use of the surname DE CALVERLEY in some trees.
There also appears to be an indication of a number of surname changes amongst some of the so called nobles. I have found the indications some CALVERLEY men changed their surnames to MORLEY and BLAYDS. I am no expert on any of this and have very little details on the CALVERLEY surname but it appears that it was not uncommon for some men to change surnames as they married into more affluent families. I assume some of these families where trying to insure their surname lived on. Surnames were as important to everyone and the common folk were just starting to pick up surnames themselves while the nobles had some system of names we often refer to as surnames today.
Since the CALVERLEY surname was/is so prevalent in the UK I have stayed away from trying to research it hoping others with more interest would have taken on this research. I am also hoping one day some serious consideration will be given to a CALVERLEY DNA project to possibly determine how many actual trees there may be.
I would also be a good idea if someone started a CALVERT DNA project to try and determine how many trees may exist with this surname.
