Wow what a precious find. I don't know if there is any
relation to my family here. My Father told me when I
was very young that our line of Calvins came out of
Tennesee in the 1800's. I did learn last year that my
Grandfather Charlie T Calvin was born in Texas in
1853. I don't know anything prior to that time.
If you don't find a connection to a line, please get
in touch with me as I would keep it in the Calvin
family. Harry Charles Calvin

Wow! Shelley, this is fabulous information! I wish
I did know someone
connected to this family but at present, I don't. I
believe John Calvin was
the son of Joseph & Jane [ ] Calvin of West
Salem Twp., Mercer Co., PA
and Joseph was the son of Gabriel and Lucinda
[Brown] Calvin. This line
goes back to Hunterdon Co., NJ. I'll do some
research and can perhaps
provide some additional information!
