From one of our research group, who would rather remain anonymous, we
obtained a letter from a great aunt stating that Jacob Calvert of Mifflin
County in PA/ Belmont and Morgan Counties in Ohio (b. c. 1763 d. 1853 ) had
two brothers (uncles?) who fought at the Battle of Brandywine Creek during
the Revolutionary War. We are trying to find evidence of their
participation. Their names were Isaac and William Calvert. In all
probability, they were members of a militia group.
The reason I ask if these two might be Jacob's uncles, is the existence of
an Isaac Calvert in Morgan County, OH, c. 1830. His daughter, Sarah, was
married to George Dye. This Isaac was old enought to be the brother of
Jacob's father, John. Isaac was born c. 1738. We believe Jacob's father,
John, was born c. 1740 unless he was the father of this Issac which would
place his birth c. 1710-18. (In the 1830s Jacob Calvert moved to Morgan
County. It is his granddaughter who tells of her uncles conversations about
the Battle of Brandywine Creek. This granddaughter was born in Morgan
County, OH.)
Is anyone an expert on the Calverts who were at the Battle of Brandywine Creek?
