David:
As you know, I have been speculating all along that Joseph is the son of Thomas Calvert
and Charity Grubb of Cumberland Co., PA. This Thomas Calvert is the son of Daniel
Calvert, and cousin to our Thomas Calvert, husband of Sarah Williamson. Thomas Calvert
married Charity Grubb ca. 1747, and was in Cumberland at least by 1752 (tax list) and
remained there until he died in 1769. Thomas died intestate and I have not been able to
find a probate, but there was action in Cumberland Orphan's pertaining to his youngest
daughters, one of whom married Isaac Worrall. Other children are not mentioned.
I have not found Joseph Calvert in Cumberland for any tax lists up to 1780. I haven't
tackled 1781 thru 1790. Charity married to a William Miller soon after Thomas
Calvert's death, I have wondered if any children stayed with her I do find a Joseph
Calvert in Northampton Co. during the Rev War, and for warranty of lands. More
importantly, there is a deed which I have yet to access in Chester Co. in 1798 between a
Joseph Calvert and a Warner (first name escapes me right now) which may offer some info.
In early 1790's are deeds for Joseph in Wythe Co.(?), GA, which begat Elbert Co. In
1815 he is in GallatinCo., IL In a White Co., IL history which is partially on the web,
we find: "There was a large family of the Calverts--Joseph Calvert, Senior and his
sons David, John, Robert, Joseph, Jr., and William, and his daughters, Nancy and Deborah
Calvert, and Margaret Cheatham and Margaret's husband, Edmond Cheatham."
I think David and Robert are in Lancaster, PA census of 1800, and we find Joseph Calvert
Jr. in Giles Co., TN in 1820. John married Mary(?) McCurdy in 1789 in Cumberlandand is
found in Elbert, GA. He apparently remarried second to a Grace(?) Appleby in TN.
Please excuse question marks. I don't have all the info entered into my data base,
and am giving some of it to you off the top of my head.

Jim,
I am in touch with a descendant of Joseph Calvert who married Ann Warner(not Jane Swayne
Mercer). can you send me a .ged or a report of what you know of Joseph and a fact file?
This may not illuminate anything more but he has done 25 years of work on this for his
line into TN. He lives in Dallas. David

Curious to know if James Reed Calvert descends from William R. Colbert and Isaac Colbert.
Isaac adopted out of Greene Co., PA about 1806 by a Wm. McCullough, moving to Armstrong
Co., then Butler. William R. is son of Isaac Colbert and Frances Ramsay of Butler..
