Thomas Calvert and wife Dinah are listed in the Thorney Parish records in Nottingham,
England. Their children were baptised there starting in 1752 with Elizabeth, 1754 Thomas,
1756 John, 1757 Hannah, 1759 William, 1764 Dinah, 1772 Richard.
John Calvert b 1756 married Elizabeth Greenfield in Thorney Parish and they had 6
children. Her parents were John and Susanna Newham Greenfield of Nottinghamshire.
Elizabeth died about 1792 and John remarried another Elizabeth, last name unknown.
He and his second wife and remaining children immigrated to PA about 1795 and settled in
Lycoming Co., PA. His brother Richard immigrated to Boston, MA about the same time,
married there to Abigail Bodge and settled in New Brunswick, Canada.
John is my line. I'd like to learn more about his other brothers and sisters, who
apparently remained in England. Any information on the Greenfield family and does anyone
know the surname of John's second wife? Also any information on the descendants of
Richard Calvert, who died 4 Jun 1845 in St. John's, New Brunswick.
