Thanks for the up-date--For your information, I have done (or am doing the
Fords) and none of the researchers in that camp have data on Spiars beyond
what we have. Kate

Hello CALVIT researchers !
First off...WELCOME to the list to Karen Hinson. Hi Karen, glad you
could join us!
Second..Thanks to Liz for posting the new info that the SSDI (Social
Security Death Index) has added to their site. If you haven't checked it
out, please do so. I think it is the greatest idea to have the "post
'em's " added there. Now people researching the same person can contact
you. JUST A GREAT IDEA...wish I would have thought of it !
To Laura: The date of the deed in West Carroll Par. La. with James "A"
or "H" CALVIT was 23 Dec. 1873. He was a witness with George W.
Thompson. Some of you may not know, but those THOMPSON people married
into the CALVIT people..right Kate??
Benny: Yes Benny, the Gracy CALVIT Born 1805 in Adams County and married
Robert Spiars is the daughter of John CALVIT & Miss Brantley. Her
brother Thomas CALVIT was my GGG-Grandfather. John CALVIT & Miss
Brantley CALVIT only had 5 children that I know of: William, Thomas,
John, Gracy & Charles Brantley CALVIT.
For a long time I was cOnFuSeD as there are TWO...yes TWO Charles
Brantley CALVIT's !!!! AS IF (DUH) we don't have enough problems !! It
took Liz to set me straight. NUMBER ONE (1) Charles Brantley CALVIT was
born 1808, son of John CALVIT & Miss Brantley (rightly so) and NUMBER
TWO (2) Charles Brantley CALVIT was born 1827 to William CALVIT &
Elizabeth Spiars CALVIT.
I am almost positive that William CALVIT & Elizabeth Spiars CALVIT had a
son named JOHN CALVIT...because both of their fathers names was JOHN.
So...where is this JOHN?? He will show up somewhere!
Now Kate on the list, is hunting the SPIARS names as well, we must
search allied family names as that will lead to our CALVIT names. For
instance..has anyone thought of the FORD name? Elizabeth Spiars
CALVIT's mother was Hester FORD. Maybe some FORD researcher has got the
names of those 14 children born to Elizabeth Spiars CALVIT. Food for
thought anyway. I, myself will look for FORD. So far then we have
possible 5 children for Elizabeth Spiars & William CALVIT : Charles
Brantley (2), William,Gracy, Theodore G., and maybe John Calvit.
