Hi,
I don't know very much about this marriage of Arthur to Ida. I had thought that this
must be a married name. By this time Arthur had been married twice and had two young
children back in WV. From what I have been able to Garner from:
1. the 1910 Census indicates Arthur C Calvert and Ida Seed
married 0 years.
2. A fellow researcher dug up Merle, a son by the couple and a half-brother Virgil. I
suppose this is a child of a Liaison as I have yet to find that Ida actually married
before Arthur...and to note, I do not have a marriage record for Arthur and Ida Either.
3. Research found that if this is the right Ida, she was the daughter of Hugh Seed and
Sarah Harvey and that she was b 1882. Other children are Francis Harvey Charles Ruth and
William(if this is the correct family).
4. If you had an Ida b in NE, this is believeable to me as one of the family lines of My
Calverts ends up in Nebraska, namely Hiram who founded Hiramsburg OH before moving on.
notes: Hiram is one of 4 sons of Robert Calvert b 1777 who married Lydia Alice ? in Greene
County PA and both he and wife died by 1807 leaving 4 orphans, one of whom is Hiram.
Robert is brother of my Ancestor Thomas Clare Calvert Sr b 1769 VA and their father was
Isaac Calvert b 1747 VA who married Faney Bulet. Thomas Clare Jr b 1808 is the descent of
my family, to ALbert Gallatin b 1830, John Ewing Calvert who married Martha Lemasters,
Arthur Clay Calvert who m1 ? and I think this is Cynthia Harrison(WV), m2 Lena Ensinger
with 2 of 4 surviving Children m 1900 she d 1904 with one twin the other surviving but
only til about 1906 certainly not 1908(or the twin was adopted or taken in). M3 Ida Seed
(1910 via Census in IL) AC was in OK before and after this marriage to Ida. He M4, Amanda
Sylvesta Rose in 1915 Big Heart probably but I have to go find the record but think this
is true.
If this family of Seed's associates please let me know. I can provide quite extensive
information on various families tied to AC Calvert and ancestry. The general migration
appears to be: MD to VA to PA and what became WV Counties, OH IL IN IO NE MO OK. My
grandfather Arthur Clay was b 1876 in Wetzel Co WV d 1967 Joplin MO and my grandmother
Vesta Rose Calvert d 1969 Joplin MO. My mother is the only surviving family member of this
4th marriage, all others deceased and would presume that this is true for Merle and Virgil
but do not know.
