Carolyn,
John Calvert Jr is the son of John Calvert b 1766 and Esther Jones. Varioius families show
John of Mifflin County to be the father of John 1766. John 1766 children were born in PA
except the youngest and the county was either Mifflin or Centre or both depending on the
time frame.
One family line has secondary information that indeed says that John Calvert who lived at
Bald Eagle Twp is the father of John of 1766. There are letters that state John 1766 was
born in MD and lived on Calvert St in Baltimore before moving to Bald Eagle Valley.
John Calvert who married Jane Swayne is the most likely candidate who may or may not be
the father of John Calvert 1766. It is not proven. The fact that the Mercers and
Beale's have a marriage downline in John Jr is certainly an indication.
Perhaps we should get together and exchange information about what we know and what we
suspect. There are at least 5 of us actively looking at the John Calverts of PA and who
will read this post with whom I communicate regularly; Jim Ray, Sylvia WHitaker, Darrell
Elliott, Gail Huggins and Jim Calvert.
Regards,
David Bell

This may be way off but my records show Susannah Mercer married John Beale. John and
Susannah daughter Edith Beale married John Calvert (jr). Maybe these Mercer are
Susannah's family????

All,
I fear someone contacted me about Amos Mercer and I have lost their email etc. The issue
was a demonstration of the children of Joseph Mercer and his wife jane Swayne and hence
John Calvert.
A fellow researcher working on Calverts has found a record
that shows the orphans, so to speak, of Joseph Mercer, thus demonstrating Amos Mercer as
the son of Joseph and in the gaurdianship of John Calvert. Jim Ray has been pouring over
documents and found them.
If you have an interest, please contact me. I am sure Jim will forward the copies of the
pertinent images to you.
