Spencer Calvert of Prince William Co. Va. who moved to Princeton, Kentucky (Caldwell Co.)
was my g/g/g/grandfather.
His granddaughter Eliza was my great grandmother.
Spencer enlisted in the Rev. War when he was about 18 yrs. old. He enlisted as a
substitute for a married man who had only three more months to serve. Later, he enlisted
again for the same purpose, for another married man. This is recounted in the
O"Gorman book.
He married Nancy Leatherwood, had 7 children, and they had two grandchildren named James.
One James was the son of their son Elias and his wife Elzy Morse Calvert. This James was
born 1821.
Their other grandson James was the son of their son Spencer Mancel and his wife Mary Morse
Calvert. However, according to the O'Gorman book, he died young.
Hope this helps.
