Jim,
When we begin to think about these various gen family investigations
it doesn't take long to take them with a grain of salt...use them as
a pointer, not the fact. There is a tie betw my calverts and the delany's(various sp).
one of my grandfather's sisters married william "teed" delaney. I found the
ancestry in an appendix in that
book rd furlong furlong-delaney and kindred families. In Harlan's
epistle in the wetzel history book you have a clear line to the
the irish quakers but that was from the maternal not paternal line.
in a work done by a defunction calvert gen outfit in wetzel, they
also had isaac but stuck a reason in the middle and i cannot for the
life of me figure that out. my reason was son of hugh ewing calvert but b about 1825, not
the one that goes to cass mo(my family farm lay in that county).
I have been as confused as anyone trying to figure out who thomas c belonged to. when you,
jim calvert, dean mills and ? mcandless came along i thought, finally, here are folks
looking at same area and people but then a short time later i began to recognize that this
is at the very least two distinct families and we are all claimi8ng this or
that guy as ancestor. Deepwater twp is at the foot of what is known
now as amarugia hghts or highlands and there is a brief book pubished
on the area. it was notorious for a period of time and lies in the order #11 area of Cass
co mo abandoned by decree of the union general in command of the forces in the area at the
time.
I am pretty sure now with multiple family letters documenting isaac 1735 as the ancestor
of my line that this is not the same as that of
Joshua and Deborah. But it could be vice versa, ie, isaac in my line
b 1742 for example. but two refernces out of greene co indicating the isaac d age 122 and
of the va calvert line is much different that the
other calverts who settled in Pa in other areas. Dunkard creek area
being part of Mon co Va and another co of va before that before being
reassembled as part of Greene.
That a thomas built two mills on tributaries of Dunkard creek is another indication....he
hauled the mill works over the mountains from
MD. Further, none of the children are named via behavior patterns
ie, obedience, etc though there is a charity in your line and
perhaps another similar name. these are just not quakers. even your
line imho. So could it be as i noted that the isaac of brandywine is
my isaac and yours at the same time and we have been following false
leads? I don't know. I do know that the isaac of my line died in PA
and not out in Indiana. I thought for a good long while that Dean Mills put me in the
chase but found later that this couldn't be the same
line of calverts. so at least two and possibly 3 lines.
If you read this board...check the posts by Laree mcDaniels as well...
you will find a common thread of thinking which indicates that
the frances fanny bulet of various spellings was cuthbert bullitts dau.
and her lines are adjacent to mine cooksey fairfax etc to my calvert
lemasters and now john. Add in Ewings who were from Ireland and mix it
up with clare(clair) etc and it gets to be fun.
among other lines and thinking....David

Thanks. Perhaps we do have the same Isaac, and mine does not go back to
Chester. Here's some more on the Chester Calvert's, however.
Isaac Calvert (b. ca. 1749) of Chester and brother Joshua Calvert were
disowned by the Quakers in the 1760's. Either could have been in the Rev.
War. Cope, Smedley Genealogy.
John Calvert (ca. 1689-1739), uncle to Isaac, was known as "father of the
colony", referring to Orange Co., VA, later Frederick Co. Source: Buckey,
"The History of the Calverts who Were Quakers."
It seems these Calverts drifted in and out of Quakerism. John's parents
were no longer Quakers when he was born, yet he helped establish the Quaker
colony in Orange Co., VA. I looked in Buckey for Harlans who might have
gone to Orange Co., but could not find any.
I took this off-line as it can't be of much help to others. I think I'll
step back now and reread your e-mails and do some more research. Talk to
you later.
