Subject: [CALVERT-L] John Calvert of Elberta Co., Georgia
Marvollee,
The John Calvert, shown as #8 on the list, is known as "John Calvert of
Elberta Co., Georgia". His grandson, George C. Hart, sent a letter to
the Calvert Western Heirs Association dated Feb. 5, 1913 stating that
John Calvert was a son of William Calvert of Mason Co., Ky. This
would be the William Calvert shown as #7 on the list.
Most likely, John is not the son of William Calvert of Mason County. All
of William's known heirs filed a lawsuit in Mason County protesting the
division of William's estate on March 2, 1812. William had eleven
children with two sons killed in the Rev. War. The family lines of the
remaining nine children have been traced. None of William's children
were named John. No where is there any indication William ever
fathered a child named John, other than the statement made in George
Hart's letter.
George C. Hart also mentioned in his letter that his own grandfather
George (son of John) had relatives in Tennessee named Carson,
William, and Grove or Groves Calvert. Again these names do not
connect with the family of William Calvert of Mason Co., Ky. Instead,
they connect with the family of David Calvert of Giles Co., Tenn. It is
suspected that your John Calvert was the brother of the David Calvert
who lived in Giles Co., Tenn. This David Calvert was born in Delaware.
My hunch is that John and David descend from the Quaker line of the
Calverts.
George Calvert
