Thanks for the link and I will start reading. John D Calvert said in an 1881 Newspaper article that the family came with the Baileys. I looked and looked but came up with nothing.

Dear David,
I'll work on it tonight. You really need to read about Pastor Corbly and the Goshen Baptist Church. It has been five years since I read those articles but going back to your 2004 posting at Genealogy,com the name Corbly and Linn seemed to have been significant to your research, My interest was Baly/Bailey Johnson and could the John Gates mentioned be related to my quest to locate the Henry Gates who married Matilda Johnson.

Hi David,
I have very little transcribed but I went into a few of transcriptions of what I do have. Oh, by the way your Bengam Calvert is Benjamin.
In 1796 Greene County was formed from Washington and the first postmaster was appointed
Greene county was at one point part of Mononghela County, Virginia. Virginia disputed this land in 1800.
Also check records in Monongalia Co., West Virginia.

If the book was titled Headlee than that is the book my aunt corrected. She collected a mass of letters and documents to add to or correct mistakes.
I personally poked around Whiteley, Greene Co. PA looking for Bailey j. Johnson b.1755 VA d. 1802 or 1805 Whiteley Pa after returning from Ross Ohio he married Hannah Muffit/Moffit. Many churches kept types of records that were like diaries. When the priest moved so did the diary.

Isaac b c 1746/7 m Eliz Gart Newcastle(Old Swedes) filed for reparations in 1791 and is found in Wash Co in 1793 Tax list.
He is buried on the fam farm where Truman Calvert's widow, Margaret, still lived(2004). This descent was adjacent to mine, John D, Thomas, ?, then Truman. Mine is Thomas 1808 m Elizabeth Johnson(dau of Nicholas who had the land north of Thomas Calvert(1769-1808, 1797 Acres) just north of Pentress on Rudolph and Hoy Run. He had a grist and saw mill, ruin is visible still. Ezekiel(Faye who has posted here on this thread descends from Ezekiel and has quite a lot of material) was just to the next watershed east of Thomas. John, not sure who is in the same basin to the west and Isaac lived above the hiway joining blacksville to Waynesburg and Truman's place wa on that same land.
We have another mystery here, Bengam Calvert m Minvera Wright, and is buried int he Wright fam Cem near Pentress and Blacksville. I have not figured him out. He was b 1789 d 1860 something as I recall.
We have gone through a lot on this, John Calvert b 1742 Cheester older bro of Isaac is a major research effort at the same time (Jim Calvert, California) Jim Ray descended from Hiram(Hiramsburg OH). He removed to NE and died there.
One of the descendants from Reason Calvert, removed to Cass Co MO and his line is adjacent to mine(this was in Order #11 ground of the War Btw States(I grew up in Cass Co) Reason was son of of Robert d 1802 who was younger brother to my Thomas and older brother of Ezekiel. Much of what I know started in 1969 Fam Vacation age 18. We stopped in WHeeling WV on way to DC. I could drive and Dad would not drive in the eastern Big cities. Next was NY but when we approache Wheeling Mom said that her dad grew up near there. so We stopped and spent the first weekend visiting new found kin still living in the area. When I made trips to WV, PA, and VA 2002, 3 and 4, I stayed with Viriginia taylor Ballard, dau of Sadie Taylor whom married Friend taylor. We met Sadie in 69.

sheesh, this is closer than I knew: Alvah Headley was one of the researchers I used as a base and they as well as Lemley are adjacent families.
Migration: Calverts Yorks, to Armagh, to Newcastle, to Chester(Upper Providence), to Greene Co. Then to Tyler, (later Wetzel where my grandfather Arthur was born, 1876 1967
who removed to IL(marriage 3, fam 2--proved kin) from Wetzel(marriage 1, no children known) ) marriage 4 1915 to my grandmother at Talequah OK 1915. Lived at Big Heart(Barnsdall) and then Wild HOrse(my mother born 1922 d 2011 5/22, Joplin Tornado), then to Greenwood Mo and then to Joplin.
One of Alvah's daughters sent me his book which was not particualrly helpful but considering all that was gone through, then I guess in a way it verified to a point.)
Sylvia Whitaker of Mon Co and I did a lot of on the ground research 2003/4 timeframe which is where you received the material from (I guess).

I was able to track back to the Zella B. Calvert research that I located years ago.It is titled under a Joshua Calvert and you are mentioned as a researcher. Their Isaac is proved by DNA to be related to Joshua. Is this your Isaac??
Many Greene Co PA records are filed under Washington Co.PA. Some are actually stored in say Morgan West Virginia. I donated all my aunt's Headlee/Lemley research to a historical society in WV because Greene co,PA didn't have a location suitable.
Be careful. Paying taxes on a property didn't mean you still lived there.
You definitely should join GHOTES. Also have you contacted the NABB Center in Salisbury. MD?

Alexander and Mary Wheeler's elder children, William Wheeler Calvert b 1744 and Isaac b 1747 were probably in QUeen Annes in 1790 Census. Isaac returned(my take) and lived his life in Somerset and is there in census in 1800 1810 and maybe 1820.
Wm Calvert is in Pocomoke through 1745 and Alexander is in Pocomoke 1746-49 and then he moves to another area but is in that area through 1759(Tax lists, Somerset). I think John is in 3 tax lists through 1744 or something like that.
my proposition is that John and Willaim are brothers
and that WIlliam had son Alexander m Mary Wheeler, dau of Isaac Wheeler and grandfather Edward, Immigrant.
Again, Coventry lists most of ALexanders children> Ella Foy O'Gorman had Alex listed with issue but I didn't even know that until I got to looking deep into Somerset. WHen I found she had listed Alexxander that led me deeper. I know O'Gorman wrote Nicklin to look at Eastern Shore. He didn't.
You have to use Colbert, Calvert(Sic) Caulvvert etc to find these recoreds in tax lists. The court record in 1733 says Calvert(none of this surprises me because in court in records, Greene Co PA Thomas Calvert is spelled just that but also Colvert and Colbert related to his records for reparations(Bounty lands) for W of 1812 Service. His son, Hugh Ewing acted for his father who was b 1769 Chester Co PA and d 1868 Greene Co pA. Thomas father was Isaac b chester 1746/47 m Elizabeth gart at Old Swedes Ch Newcastle Co DE. Isaac later m Fanny BUlet(t) whose mother(I believe) is buried in the Thomas Calvert section of the cemetery at Blacksville WV. Spelled Faney Bulet. Isaac was son of Thomas Calvert b 1717 circa m Sarah Williams. Other sons John 1742 and William (who married and died without male issue at Mt Holly NJ). I have not yet researched Joshua and there may be other children of Sarah and Thomas.
Our problem, proved by DNA by going to John b 1648 at Co Armagh IR m JUdith Stamper was to show that John via his son Joshua and William 1680 Armagh and 1689 Chester Co were the ancestors of my and other lines. DNA matched 37 of 37 or 36 of 37 but with enough certainty to say that we indeed have a line of ancestry. From Joshua 1680 backwards, we have QUaker records to John c 1580 m Grace in Yorks and removed to Co Armaggh by 1617(Quaker records, birth of son Thomas who m Jane Glasford). Their son John 1648 above.

Alexander m Mary Wheeler 1744 Coventry PE Church records, Somerset
Somerset Tax lists: William 1724 - 46
John abt 3 times
Levin once or twice(maybe 2 different people)
Elizabeth in some record
William in court 1733 record sued for tobacco plus penalty,
first case according to this record was 1726. Can't recall plaintiff name. William Calvert, Planter.
The children (most of them) are in coventry records but a couple in Nicholite records.
I can send you a copy of the research if you wish.
I believe:
William and brother John are found in Somerset 1723-1733
tax lists and court. That they are problably brothers is that they appear in similar time frame. Others come later. Various spellings of the surname. William Calvert Esq drowned 1782 Wicomico R. He treated with the indians there in 1681 and it is a boundary river. William Calvert 1796, son of WIlliam in the estate of Wm Robinson.
I had tried to prove that William Planter of Somerset was the son of William Calvert b 1666 of Wm Calvert Esq and Elizabaeth stone.
It could be this William is Grandson of William Calvert of Yorks or perhaps a descendant of Christopher of Accomack.

Years ago I did some Calvert research related to a Zella B. Calvert b. 1878 Iowa.
She had married a Wilbur D. Anderson which was a twig of the line of a Samuel Bennett not yet proved to be mine.

I am not well versed here with your family lines but I would
"ignore" 1739 and 1744 and say c1740 /-5 if you have no primary source proof. It seems to me from looking at this, that the Elder William is extent at the same time as the William b c 1740ish. And the record with the Will may be William m. Mary, he is the the guy d 1802. Just my thinking, he would be in his 40s about 1780ish and the Elder approaching the end of times. In which case, Your William d 1802 married a Mary. Is that your thinking? It seems to show good evidence that there is a William son of Thomas and that may be your path. Richard passed this material on to use at my request... He used both earlier researchers to form the data but this last was as I noted. The reason I was looking at Eastern Shore was Alexander Calvert b 1744 m Mary Wheeler, Conventry PE Somerset. I am virtually certain from my research that his father was William Calvert arrived in tax lists 1724, sued for 1000 lb of tobac. 1726 and again 1733. He is in tax lists almost every year to 1746. When!
alexander appears and he is gone. I believe Wm had a brother John and perhaps Levin.
I was looking for my ancestor here as Alex. son isaac b 1747 but it turns out not to be the case and we found after working 2 years on Calverts of MD, that my Isaac is of Chester Co.
Anyway, I have considerable amount of research on this if anyone wants it. Maybe I should post to Ghote???

Dear David,
This outlined version will be very helpful. Remembering that Moody said that Generation One is not necesarially related.
I had said the old Family search site lists my William Bennett as being born in 1739. His father is posted as William Bennett b, 1710 and grandfather Samuel Bennett b. c 1685. This should be able to be the line of Moody's Samuel b. c.1642 who was a headright of Col. John Stringer. Samuel b. 1642 had two sons: Johnb.c 1680 and Samuel b, Aug 1684 as documented by Moody.
Note in Moody's version William Bennett is born in 1744 to Thomas Bennett and Elizabeth Crippen.
The question arises why are two different William Bennetts so closely involved with Arnold Morgan??? Something seems amiss.
I am searching for the wife of William Bennett who died in 1802. This William is documented as having served on the "Liberty". If you do a Google search for the "Fortunatus" you will find Capt James Barron living in Hampton and his boat moored off shore. My William should also have been residing there, too .Mary Hannah Dewbre's relatives and in-laws are also living in Fox Hill.
His son Littleton is documented in Elizabeth City census in 1830.Actually living one house from a John Bully who would be related to Mary Hannah Dewberry (Dewbre). Many of Hannah's relatives are documented for food donations to our war effort. She is my best candidate.
Why my continued quest in Elizabeth City. William Bennett who d. 1802 had more than five children. But only 5 applied for his bounty in 1831. Covington (my direct line). Littleton, Samuel , Roland and Polly. Roland was indentured in 1805 and Samuel was indentured in 1808 I suspect at age five.
Covington b.1789 and Littleton b. c 1796 were older and if born in Elizabeth City Co by the by laws of the Syms school could have attended. The school was still functioning in 1803 though in major disrepair. Remember it started in the mid 1600s.

Here is Richard's Gleaning of MK Miles. I am not sure this is proof of William IV but take a look:
Bennett Family.
Generation One:
i. Samuel b. ca. 1642. He died before 30 Jul 1685. The named extrs. relinquished their right and Anne West qualified.
ii. William v.ca. 1644. He was on list of tithables at Northampton Co on 4 Sept 1667. He was shown as Wm. Bennett with 1 tith.
iii. Thomas b.ca. 1646. Married Elizabeth ca. 1666.
iv. John v.ca. 1650. Died before 30 Sept 1700. Jone Bennet, widow, being very poor and not able to bring up her children desired to b ind her son John Bennett to William Bell and her son Bartholomew Bennett to George Bell, Jr. till tahe Octy after he is 20...
v. Daniel b.va. 1655. Named headright 28 Mar 1690 at Northampton Co. He was shown as |Daniel Bennett on a certificate dated to Mr. Thomas Harmonson for 950 acres of land for transporting persons to colony.
John Bennett - Generation Two.
b. 1650. Wife Jone? and 3 sons. "Ordered that John Bennett be Constable this present year (1689) in the stead of Robert Bell...
Children: All born in Northampton Co., VA
i. Thomas
ii. Bartholomew
Thomas Bennett - Generation Three.
b.ca. 1678, He married twice. Second wife Elizabeth Crippen ca. 1710 at Accomack Co. He died before 2 July 1735.
Petitioned court 1700 re: brother Bartholomew.Bartholomew had been bound to George Bell, the son of Wm Bell, and accused
George Bell of abusing his brother. Thomas took his brother under his care. On 17 Dec 1730 Thomas Crippen named a grandson
Bennett, son of Thomas & Elizabeth Bennett in his will. He was evidently dec'd by this date. His son Thomas Thomas Bennett, aged 14,
was bound to his wife's brother Paul Crippen to learn the trade of house carpenter.
Children:
i. Richard b.ca. 1700 by 1st wife.
ii. Thomas b.ca. 1721. "Ordered that WILLIAM BENNETT Orphan of Thomas Bennett Aged Twelve Years last June be bound
by the Church Wardens of Accomack Parish till Lawful Age to ARNOLD MORGAN to learn the Trade of a House Carpenter
the said ARNOLD first giving security for the Performance of the Indentures.
(William BENNETT mentioned in two Wills. One of George Johnson. Witts: ARNOLD MORGIN, WILLIAM BENNET, MARY MORGIN.
In second will: MARY MORGAN. 26 June 1775-29 Aug 1775. To Leah Tatham. To MARY BENNET, wife of WILLIAM BENNET. To
JACOB BELL & Ann Foster, son & dau. of my cousin WILLIAM BELL. To Elizabeth Redding. to John Glasby. Thomas Tatham resid.
legatee & Exr. Witt: Thomas Bloxom, Stephen Bloxom).
WILLIAM BENNETT - Generation Four.
b. in Jun 1744 at Accomack Co., Va. He married (----) (----) circa. 1790. William died in Dec. 1802 at Accomack Co., Va at age 58.
I think this shows that William Bennett was son of Thomas, and orphaned at age 12. I see that William is identified in
1758 so William Bennett Gen III as the Wm in the Morgan Will 1775. But this too could be the Wm b 1744 is too young. The Wm in the 1775 Will is husband of Mary Bennett who must have been a Morgan. Do you know who Wm d 1802 Married?

Thank you so much. I have been following postings by Richard Colbert and others posted on a message board called GHOTES. Moody Miles a genealogist from Accomack went through every book he owns and did a 260 page paper as to the Bennetts of Accomack/ Northampton. Though it is brilliant it has missing pieces that Moody clearly states.

William Bennett actually died in 1802 in Accomack, VA and possibly was born there. The old Family search site has his birth as 1739 born to a William Bennett born 1710. Moody Miles a genealogist of Accomack thinks he might be the William Bennett b. 1744 to a Thomas Bennett and Elizabeth Crippen.
The book Dewberrys of America says a Mary Hannah Dewberry b. 1762 in York, VA married a William Bennett b. 1759 and married 1799. Mary Hannah Dewberry (Dewbre) was documented as being born 1762 and her birth and baptism was recorded in Charles Parish, York Co, VA but her parents were from Elizabeth City, VA. The book lists no sources for Williams birth or marriage. A Dewberry researcher who was involved with DNA studies is very critical of the book. She said to consider William's dates as guesstimates. To complicate matters there is another William Bennett born to a John Bennett about the same time in Elizabeth City per the Elizabeth City Will Book.

I just called my mother and she gave me the info I was looking for on update on Sym-Eaton. She won't swear if it was torn down in 1803 and rebuild but the building is old and in better shape than some old buildings. They house the guy who handle the Ged testing.The city Administrator is there and the other officials are there. All govt people as well as the school board. There is a Cemetary off of Armstead and LaSalle and my husband and I will be buried in the Hampton Memorial which is close to Langley AFB. We have not heard yet if they will tear that school down or what. They house the police station in the Old Pine Chapel School up the road from Sym-Eaton. They are waiting on a bigger building to house the police station for they have 2 and only about 3 miles away. They were in planning when I left in '92 to place all the stations and the court house all together and place the prisoners there also to go to court. They keep escaping. Only time they go out is when being sen!
d to prison which Hampton does not have.Sym-Eaton is about 5 miles from Fox Hill. Hampton build a huge Library and they were supposed to have stuff on Family tree there and I did not get a chance before I left. Would be interesting to go back and find this William Bennett. Gloria
