Cathy,,,
My family as I knew it lived in wetzel Co WV near Wileyville about 17 miles out from new
martinsville on hwy 7. The farms that albert and John ewing owned were on lynn camp run
and on top of the ridge above...Harlan Ridge.
The farms of Isaac and Thomas were respectively in what is now greene co PA, Isaac on
Roberts run and Thomas on Hoy and Rudolph run in the very southern end of Wayne and Perry
Twp. In 1921, Thomas Farm was owned by John Calvert and Isaac by Thomas(Tommy) calvert,
both sons of Richard Thralls Calvert, who was the son of John D Calvert, who was the son
of Thomas Calvert Sr(my ancestor's brother, Thomas C jr, brother also to Hugh Ewing
Calvert. Thomas Sr is first known in this area in 1809 repairing the mill of a Davis if I
recall correctly and he was in w of 1812 under Harrison as I mentioned. His father Isaac
marrie Frances Bullitt(Fanny) and came to the Dunkard creek area sometime in the 1700s
from Carmichaels settlement.
I am just guessing now and there is no doc on this. I think his father was Reason
Calvert(rezin, resin) who was a son of John Calvert b 1692. John was the son of George
Calvert who m elizabeth Doyne. His brother George Calvert is one of the associated lines
I am researchinga as well, both out of VA. I find documents on them and Loudoun/Fairfax,
northern neck va...
Now, back to the more recent time of Isaac and so on, the family seems to be intermixed
with Cooksey, Fairfax clark and so on, and JD told the newspaper they came to the US with
the Baily family.
If this rings "bell"s so t speak, well, sheesh.
gain,,,,thanks for taking the time...dai

Dorthey Lee Calvert, via vesta, my mother
Mother and Virginia Ballard are cousins. I first met Sarah(sadie) in 1969
when i
was 18. I just returned from WV VA and PA from my vacation and was
very hopeful to find you. Eloise Baker said you would know things that I
myself did not know.
In your email, you will find an invite to my
www.myFamily.com site.
It will give you a silly email addy and password. Once there, you can edit
it and
change both the address and password to what you wish.
This data base is a work in progress. I am very sure that isaac is my
ancestor. I
am unsure of his father and that is what i am working on now. I
was hopeful that something you might know would lead me in the right
direction. More that this Dale, I am hope you can provide me with stories,
etc that will help flesh out all of the Calvert line and Harlans as they
relate to me.
\\
\\\ I am going, if things work out, to publish a book called the Calverts
of
Dunkard creek. This will accompany two other works in prgress, a book of
poetry and a trilogy of Novella's entitled, Amarugia. You will be, I think
excited because Robert, a brother of Thomas Sr, ends up in dying young. His
son, Hiram founds hiramsburg OH and moves on to NE. Another son goes to
Morgantown, and then to Cass Co Mo. It is this son, Reason(rezin) who
settles an area now known as deepwater MO, in Cass Co Mo. this area, where
he is likely buried, is about 17 miles from the family gfarm I grew up on.
It is called Amarugia highlands. Odd that... David Bell daipdq(a)juno.com
ps
I was so pleased to speak with you this evening. you will know. but it was
a great
esperience. Thank you. dai

My line is Margaret CALVERT who married Thomas HOLLINGSWORTH. Their son
was Abraham "Abram" Hollingsworth, married to Ann Robinson. This seems to
be a strong quaker line for several generations. Any leads would be
appreciated. Joyce Wilson at momajo54(a)hotmail.com
