Laura,
I am interested in confirming the death date and burial location of William
Calvert Sr, as well as Elizabeth (Nodding) Calvert, his wife. The 1876
Carroll County Atlas text portion for James Calvert does not actually say
anything about William's death date or location, and O'Gorman says it is not
even known whether he died in Tennessee or Missouri. What is the source of
your information that he is buried in the Big Lick Cemetery, and do you also
have an exact death date?
Thanks much,
Steve
Jim, Our William and Elizabeth Nodding Calvert did not make it as
far
as Carroll County. As is indicated in the bio of a James Calvert
in the text portion of the Carroll County Atlas, the O' Gorman
book and in the Nodding/Calvert Bible Records, William and
Elizabeth Nodding remained
behind with the main contingent of the Calverts in Cooper County and
are interred at Gooch's
Mill in the old Big Lick Cemetery altho there is no marker in
evidence for their graves. We
DAR types would have jumped on it years ago if the gravestones
could have been found. William Calvert is one of our biggies in the
Missouri DAR burials lists. i.e "Revolutionary War soldiers buried in
Missouri." Richard Westbrook and William Calvert, both buried in
Cooper County, are my ancestors on that list. If I remember
correctly my Martin Calvert and your Jabez Calvert are brothers
but I'll look it up (after I get awake) in the book. The
Boonville paper ran a great article by our kinsman a DAR
member Lena Hobrect in the 1930's... Laura Crane, Corresp secretary,
