David,
Thank you for you immediate reply. We have had a cousin, Jim Calvert,
take the DNA test and it told him that he was related to John Colbert.
I would have had the test taken, but I am not a Calvert.
Our known ancestry is as follows:
Jesse Calvert - born abt 1815
married Pamelia Smith on Feb 13, 1834 in Campbell Co., KY
Benjamin Rotan Calvert - born Nov 30, 1835
married Marinda Boone on October 19, 1856 in Campbell Co., KY
died May 16, 1892
buried Lenoxburg Cemetery, Bracken Co., KY
After years of research, another BR Calvert descendant and myself
concluded that Jesse Calvert (born abt 1815) was the son of Jesse
Calvert and Charlotte Sanders. Jesse Jr. appears as # 1009 in the Ella
O'Gorman book and his father is # 365. We were shocked, to say the
least, to find out that our research was way-off.
You mentioned that Larry was related to both John Colbert and George
Calvert. Could this also be true of Jim Calvert, our cousin? Also,
what is the Yahoo group?
Thank you for any help that you could give. Dennis

Hi Dennis,
John Colbert is a Calvert. He purchased land in 1810 and signed his name this way. He
later moved to Fayette County PA just across the Monongahela River from my Calverts in
Greene County. Larry Colbert, John's descendant has taken the FT/DNA test and matched
both a Colbert and a Calvert. The Calvert to which his DNA matched is a descendant of
George Calvert born 1668. There has been a flurry of activity in the past 5 days related
to this and other events. I have a Calvert_Genealogy Yahoo Group which supports the
Calvert DNA study at FT/DNA.
I encourage you to participate(a male Colbert of your ancestry) in the DNA study which I
and Beth Calvert Co-Coordinate.
If you wish, you may contact me via email or phone. Let me know if you wish to enroll a
family member in the DNA study or sign up for the Yahoo group.
regards,
David Bell
