Hi Maria,
While I can't personally help you (although perhaps others can) I was
wondering if these two were the children of different parents? I don't see
that it's possible for them to be siblings and born almost 70(!) years
apart. I mean, I know women sometimes bear children into their 50's, but
logically, even if she started having children at 12 and stopped at age 55,
that's only 43 years, not 70, to say nothing of the fact that the father of
both of these children would have had to be having children possibly into
his 90's! (possible I know, but VERY unlikely). I personally would be
looking into the fact that they were most likely not siblings at all but
perhaps grandfather and grandchild, father and daughter, or something
further removed like Uncle and Niece or cousins... Just an observation to
consider.

Subject: [CALVERT] Frederick Co VA
I just returned from a trip to Salt Lake City. This was my trip for Wills,
I found a Will for the brother of my 4th great grandmother, Mary CALVERT
WHITE. I was hoping to find the parents of Mary and her brother Jessie
Calvert from Frederick Co, VA. But I did get Jesse's Will, and maybe
finding descendents will help work back up the tree. I think that maybe
the Calverts came from Maryland. The Calverts married into my WHITE line,
and I am at a brick wall in Frederick Co. on both the WHITE and CALVERT.
Mary was born 1871, Jesse was born December 15, 1802. Does anyone tie into
this family?
