My Great Grandfather was the son of the Plantation owner and of a Slave. In the Census
record he is listed under the slave his mother and him as child. He lived on the land
until his father died, and his silblings ran him off of the land that was left to him by
his father, When he came to chicago, they had him change his last name to Calbert because
they felt that there shouldn't be a black man with that name because Calvert was a
know wealthy family from the south.
(trying to find info on George Calvert of MS he had land there. He is on the 1850 and 1860
Census for Kemper County. If any one have any info please responed)
