I do not know anything directly about Isabella (Calvin) Fenton, but have been researching
Calvins from Northern Ireland into New Brunswick, Canada (my branch) for many years.
You'll notice that the census enumerator on that 1860 Monmouth County NJ census had a
little difficulty spelling the Irish county names. He listed one on the same page as
"Limerig" and on other pages wrote "Furmana" and "Tare" and
some other unrecognizable words as county names. I believe this last is an attempt to
spell "Derry" as is, I suspect, the birthplace of Isabella (Calvin) Fenton.
Many Calvin families can be traced back to Co. Derry, as can mine from the Coleraine area.
Write directly anytime to discuss this family:
