Message Board Post:
hi
I saw on the message list two posts related to mine were were on this board one from Jim
and one from Cathy and
I thought to respond. I wasn't on the list until today. If either of you have reason
to believe your Thomas relates to mine
that this thomas relates to what you know, then please advise. The reason that I suspect
the Harrison Lee connection of families is because of the information about Harrison
commissioning Thomas(something which was done with associated families). The Lee
connection and Henry
connection is possible if my ancestry goes back to Benedict Leonard and Lady Charlotte. My
mother's middle name is Lee. Just speculations.
Anything I post beyond my Thomas(1) is conjecture or
with the barest of references so I don't know. Nor do I know
where he originated. He appeared and disappear from Greene co. 1810. So sometime as he
attained majority, he had m and moved there from? He would have been too young to have
fought in the Rev War but may have had elder siblings who did. I speculate that two of
thomas's siblings are Ezekiel and Isaac and I believe he had a sister Mary. This
Ezekiel would have been brother to Thomas and older and he m Rhoda Debolt I believe. I
found Rhoda as hoh in OH Census 1820. and it would appear that this Ezekiel in the 1810
census
is of the correct age for that so he died btw 1810 and 20 most likely in OH.
1. I do not have siblings or any clue to Isaac except in the one reference which may have
been an ezekiel and a Mary.
2. I will begin looking at Cecil Co. thanks for that information.
The Thomas C. of my line b1803 m elizabeth Johnson b 1808.
3. Another researcher uncovered the following Calverts from
the rev war 3rd VA regiment; Zeal, Ezekiel George and John
and Reuben Calvert. I don't think it showed Isaac. But according to family records
Isaac supposedly fought at the battle of Brandywine so that looks promising.
4. I have looked closely at the Thomas and Sarah line
and would like to associate my research to it if it is true.
My reference shows Isaac b 1735. m Frances Bullitt. Another researcher shows he married
Frances Bullock. I have no
indication of that yet as being true but nor can I verify the
Isaac either. I do know:
Thomas was the greatgrandfather of Albert Gallatin, received a commission from Harrison
and was w of 1812 ft. Meigs and Tippecanoe. This is documented in Hardesty's bio of
Albert who was a state legislator in WVA in the 1870s if I recall correctly.
5.In response to the Ewing line, i know little or nothing at all.
i do have a pretty complete Lemasters line from a relative
who is also researching both Calverts and Lemasters so if you need information on this it
is pretty complete back to
lemaistre in France. I don't have the documentation on this line however but I have
asked my distant relative for as much information (primary and secondary records) and
sources
that I can get.
6. I do think that my Thomas Calvert b 1769 or 1784 depending upon the source, married
Anna Ewing. I have him and an Ezekiel and an Isaac in the greene co whitely twp PA of 1810
census. Family records clearly indicate the marriage to Anna Ewing. The offspring that I
know for sure are:
Thomas and Anna (there may be more than I list):
Thomas C b 1803 m Elizabeth Johnson
Hugh Ewing Calvert b1805 m Sarah Ann Miller
Mary Ann Calvert b? m? She may have been 2nd & I think somewhere I have her husbands
name.
Susanna
Clare
Matilda
John
an infant who died at birth.
I do not know anything about most of the above issue though I have not researched it. I
have photos on-line of Hugh Ewing and Sarah Ann Miller's tombestones btw.
7. lastly, My John Ewing Calvert was born in 1856 who married Martha Lemasters. As I
noted, I have pretty complete information on this line.
My mother is the only living Calvert of
our line who can remember Martha. John died of cancer in 1906 and Martha at a Tulsa OK
hospital in 1927. My grandfather went back to Wetzel Co and moved Martha to Big heart OK
where my mother was born and was about 5 years old when Martha died. I have photos of
Martha including one where
she is holding a child in front of a school in wetzel co circa
1883.
Wiley Lemasters wrote a letter in 1966 talking about family
history and in this letter states that both my Calvert Line
and his Lemasters line were neighbors in MD.
