Wilma......Yes I have the CD for the book Descendants of the Virginia Calverts.
I see you branch out thru Joshua. I have read more about Joshua than I have my
ancestor.
I branched out through John 1689 and he migrated to Orange Co., Va.
Then my line runs through John (1689) son Robert 1715. He was b. in
Frederick Co., and died there.
It was Robert's son Isaiah that left Frederick Co., with his wife Margaret
Cochran.
ISAIAH CALVERT7) (ROBERT CALVERT6, JOHN5 CALVERT4, JOHN CALVERT3, THOMAS
CALVERT2, JOHN CALVERT4, CALVERT1) was born 1743 in Fredricks Co., VA., and
died 1800 in Washington Co., KY. He married MARGARET COCHRAN (*) 1775 in
Frederick Co., VA, daughter of WILLIAM COCHRAN and UNKNOWN. She was born 1757
in Fredricks County, Virginia, and died Aft. 1820 in Washington Co. KY.

Isaiah Calvert was a Revolutionary soldier.
It is not Known just when Isaiah Calvert left Virginia. He emigrated to
Nelson Co., KY. in 1790. He paid taxes in Nelson county, KY., in 1793,
1794,1795, but owned no land. Residence in Mercer Co., KY. in 1800. No will
has been found. His wife Margaret was enrolled on the 1810 and 1820 Census
Records for Washington Co., KY., aged more than 45 years. The 1810 Census
