All,
Gail Huggins and I have begun an effort to provide economic assistance for upkeep and
restoration of the Robert Calvert Family Cemetery just outside of Calvert Texas. We are
working with one of the descendents. The property is owned by a church but the upkeep is
less than stellar, in my humble opinion. A small annual contribution could restore the
cemetery and help pay for the upkeep.
An additional project related to this is a Robert Calvert and Descendents Web Page.
For all you who might be interested, please forward your email address. This is for
organizational purposes at this point until we understand what is necessary, what the
state Parks and Wildlife can do, etc. It is an Historical Marker for the state of Texas.
Robert Calvert descends from Richard Calvert who died approximately in 1718, son of
WIlliam Calvert PSOM b 1742/3 who married Elizabeth Stone.
We are hoping from the family papers to provide linkage between Robert's father
William Calvert who was born in Alabama but moved to Tennessee. This is where Robert
Calvert was born. He established what became Calvert Texas in a migration to the area of
the town which began in 1852.
Regards, David Bell
