Jim,
My cousin Charlene Pinkowski Calvert and I are somewhat active on the
internet and represent a branch of the Calverts whose immigrant ancestor
John and several children came into New York in 1792 or 93, some of whom
went on to northwestern PA in the early 1800s, We know that they came
from County Armagh, Northern Ireland and were of the rather strict Scotch
Covenanter sect of he Scotch Presbyterian denomination. The location of
your man's burial in PA and his religious preference is important. We
think we know of a few who came to northwestern PA, after the above
mentioned so probably related in some way. If your man Hiram was buried in
eastern PA and a Quaker or central PA we probably cannot help you, though
all Northern Irish Protestant Calverts were more closely related than the
English Catholics who began arriving in Maryland about 145 years earlier
than the above mentioned .
Rgds,
Galen Calvert

Don't know any of them. I am looking for a Hiram CALVERT who
originated in
Strabane Northern Ireland. He was in Strabane in the 1850's and I was
told
that he had been buried in PA. I guess sometime between 1850 and
1880s.
Anybody know anything about this line?
Regards, Jim
