Do you know that John Butterworth Colvard is indeed Jr? Do you know who his father was
otherwise?
The reason I am working on this is because of the names of the Children of Alexander
Calver tc 1720 m Mary Wheeler 1744 Coventry PE, SOmerset Co MD and what I have seen posted
on websites etc for the children of William Calvert of Chesterfield, Demaris being oF
PARTICULAR LINKAGE as well as Neal. Alexander had William Wheeler, 1744, Isaac c 1748,
Alesxander Neale 1751 plus daughters, Elizabeth, Dorothy and Mary, and perhaps another. In
the Census of 1790 Somerset is Demaris Calvert. I don't know who his father is but he
is in the same area as the children of Alexander.
Alexander was probably son of William Calvert, Planter of Somerset where I found court
records of him being sued for 1,000 LB of tobacco money in 1726 and 33. I have speculated
that this William is the son of William Calvert b 1666 who was alive in 1696 as the
executor of the estate of William Robinson in Charles CO MD.
THe similarity of naming the children is what catches my attention. EFO in Desc. of VA
Calvert's does have a section for Alexander and Mary Wheeler Calvert. I had found the
records for William Calvert, 1726 and 33 in Somerset, and at least link locale to of
WIlliam to that of Alexander Plus Dividing creek. This makes sense then to link to Wm b
1766 and a son since William Calvert PSOM drowned 1682 in the Wicomico has perished at the
doorstep of Somerset Co and especially the area of Dividing creek.
