Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm getting there. Now I just need
to find the records of the marriage of Nathaniel & Sarah however I also
have the will of Nathaniel which states Sarah Howson Calvert as his
wife.
Everything from there works out so I guess the line is just about proven.
I'd like to get the copies of the references listed in this note, and then,
voilia. Ah, don't I wish I could do this with all my lines.......
Debi,
The records of the marriage are long gone. The only surviving
document form the "Overwharton Parish Stafford County, Virginia is the
Register from 1723 to 1758. Nathaniel & Sarah were married about
1718. Some of the original documents about Charles Calvert may be
obtained via the internet from the Library of Virginia. These will be the
actual handwritten documents.
Nathaniel and Sarah Howson (Calvert) Jones lived in Westmoreland
County. You may want to check on the Westmoreland records. I know
you have been searching for several years. Here are pages 69, 70
and 73. This information is from O'Gorman. Good Luck!
