Hello all,
I'm trying to find the parents of my gggg grandfather James Calvert. He and
Rebecca Orten were married on Aug 31, 1823 in Hickman county, Kentucky.
Rebecca was the daughter of Samuel Orten and Rebecca Campbell who lived in
the Nashville, TN area. She was born in 1816. The family moved to St.
Francois county MO. Since Rebecca was 16 at the time of their marriage, I
assume James was much older than 20 or so. Together they had a son, William
Nesbit Calvert (my ggg grandfather), and two daughters Artemesia Calvert and
Elizabeth Calvert. I found an 1840 census record of James Calvert with 2
adults and 3 kids living in the house in Perry, St. Francois, Missouri. In
1842 a Mrs. Rebecca Calvert married Fountain Conway and in 1850, I see the 3
Calvert kids living in the Conway household in St. Francois county in 1850.
Does anyone know of a Calvert family living in Kentucky in the early 1800's
with a son named James?
Jim Calvert
