Hi Susan,
You are definitely my cousin. I am also descended from Simon Reeder and Mary Elizabeth
Calvin from Newberry, South Carolina. In fact, Simon Reeder is my father's SAR
ancestor. My father's genealogy lists Mary Elizabeth Calvin's father and mother as
Job Calvin and Barbara Decker and Job Calvin's father and mother as a James Calvin and
Anna Sowell, although this may not be correct (I have found errors in better documented
lines.) I know that your post is old, but contact me by e-mail, if you have any other
information at Key2Lock(a)aol.com. I have been looking for a possible Hugeunot connection
for this Calvin family because of the location in South Carolina (many Hugeunots went from
Charleston, SC to Abbeville, SC and Newberry, SC) and, of course, because of the name.
The "John Calvin" did not have any direct descendants, but from this area of SC
a Hugeunot connection might be possible. I will try to look at the records at the Hugeunot
Society in Charleston somtime - must ma!
ke an appointment and go during the week!
