Message Board Post:
I just found out that my great great grandmother was a Calvert. Her name was Huldah
(Hulda) Calvert, b. January 1819 in OH/PA (conflicting info, of course!). She married
Josiah DAVIS abt 1842. In the 1850 census, in Moorefield Twp, Harrison Co., OH, they are
listed as follows:
Josiah Davis, age 35, b. PA
Huldah Davis, age 26, b. OH
Louisa J Davis, age 4, b. ?
James McJ Davis, age 2, b. OH
Homer Hulbert, age 13, b. PA
(We don't know who Homer is.)
In 1860, they are in Jefferson Twp., Guernsey Co., OH as follows:
Josiah, age 46, b. PA
Huldah, age 41, b. OH
Louisa, 14, b. PA
James M., 12, b. OH
Levi, 10, b. OH (my great grandfather, aka Pierce)
Phoebe, 6, b. OH
Isaac, 2, b. OH
John Tingley, 80, b. PA
Next door to them are:
Levi Davis, 49, b. PA (we believe he and Josiah were brothers)
Esther, 36, b. OH
Martha, 11, b. PA
Mary, 8, b. OH
Lafayette, 6, b. OH
Fremont, 2, b. OH
John, 2/12, b. OH
Andrew J. Calvert, 25, b. OH, school teacher
We also believe that Esther may have been a Calvert but aren't certain. It wasn't
until we received Isaac Davis's death certificate that we discovered that
Huldah's maiden name was Calvert.
Does anyone have any information on these Calverts? Josiah even had land dealings with
several Calverts (Robert, William T., Andrew J., George W., James) in Guernsey Co. from
1855-1861.
If you can help, please e-mail me directly at mpike(a)rochester.rr.com. We (my sister in CA
and I) would love to find more ancestors and relatives!
Thanks so much!
Melanie (Davis) Pike
