I've just got back to continuing with my research and thought I'd do a
general broadcast query. I'm researching a line of Calverts that
immigrated from County Down to S.W. Ontario in 1875. From what my Great
Aunt Helen Calvert remembers of her Grandparents, there were 3 Calvert
brothers. The one's I know of are John Calvert b. Dec. 29 1852 b. N.
Ireland [m. to Mary Jane Nesbitt b. Feb. 3 1853 N. Ireland] & David
William Calvert b. Aug 12 1848 [m . Mary Jane Quinn b. Jan. 25 1850
Ont?]. John & David Calvert. From the research I've done I've noticed
that there are quite a number of John & David Calverts in North America
from County Down.
My GGreat Grandparents, John and Mary, came over with 3 of their 6
children. They first settled in E. Nissori, Oxford Co. Ontario near
Lakeside. David W. and Mary Jane are buried at Christ Church Anglican in
Lakeside with 5 of their young ones who died young.
There was a 3rd brother, I don't know his name though. My Aunt Helen
only remembers that he went to the Chicago area.
My GGreat Grandparents 1st son was named David William b. Nov. 5
1873...and is recorded as being born in Trandragee, Bleary, Near
Belfast, County Down N. Ireland. I have to assume the family all
originated from this area as quite a few Calverts can be found there.
David W. married Annie Jane Dundas and they bought a farm at the N.
Oxford/Middlesex county line, near Banner. My GGreat Grandparents, also
bought a farm in N.Oxford in Banner, but later bought the Sutherland
Farm in Middlesex that is located in Dorchester. My family still owns
this house.
The other bit of information I have is that on the 1881 Census, my
GGreat Uncle David William had a William living with him who was a
widower, age 74. Again, I assume this William must be either a father to
David & John, or maybe an elderly Uncle.
My GGreat Grandmother, Mary Jane Nesbitt, had a sister here as well -
Margaret "Maggie" Nesbitt, who married a McDougal. I know very little
about her other then she died quite poor, I believe, and was buried in
the Calvert plot in Dorchester Union Cemetery.
I'd love to hear from anyone who also may be familiar with any of the
following surnames - Hogg, Armstrong, Quinn, Nesbitt, Morgan, McDougall
The following is what I have of both my GGreat Grandparents and GGreat
Aunt & Uncles families 1st & 2nd Generation:
