I received a copy of an article which "looks like" it was copied from a book,
the article mainly discusses Patrick Casey Calvert, it also has two short
paragraphs about James Calvert.
Here is a copy of the paragraphs:
One of Pat Calvert's relatives who had been in Texas and had
fought
with the Texas against Mexico was also in the bean drawing at
Mier,
Mexico. He was paid for his services in the army with land.
He started
a settlement named Calvert for himself. When Pat Calvert
heard of this,
he moved to Robertson County near the new settlement of
Calvert.
There is a monument near LaGrange with James Calvert's name
inscribed
on it, as a veteran in the war, and the founder of Calvert.
After the death of "Uncle Jimmy" (James Calvert), Pat moved
to the
community of Post Oaks near Bremond. Here William married
and
started his own family. In 1888, the Pat Calvert's family
moved to
Houston County and settled on Neville's Prairie. All of the
children
married and settled in Houston County except Laura Louella
who died
at age 18. Pat Calvert died in 1895 and his wife in 1902.
So.............anybody have any suggestions? Patrick Casey Calvert is my gg
grandfather. I have been able to verify everything in the article except for
the James story. I have seen the Calvert, Texas website I just don't
understand how 2 totally different stories can be so wide spread.
