Seeking Proof of James Calvert's Ancestry(C1800) who married Rebecca Orten
We need Further Information About James Calvert, his marriage to Rebecca Orten, their Children. Records potentially in KY, TN or MO.
1. James Calvert born Circa 1800, d. Before 1850, m. Rebecca Orten Circa 1800, d. 1885 in St Francois County, Missouri. James may have migrated temporarily to TN, as this is possible due to Rebecca's birth state. They eventually migrated to St. Francois County, Missouri. Son William Nesbit Calvert was b KY in 1833. Atemesia and Elizabeth were born in Kentucky in 1837 and 1838 respectively. Apparently, James removed to MO before 1840. He must have died before 1842 because in that year, his widow remarried Fountain Conway. Rebecca’s brother William Nesbit Orten also settled in St. Francois Co. Rebecca is buried in St. Genevieve, MO. No knowledge of James’ death or burial place is known. Rebecca remarried Fountain Conway 1842 in St. Francois Co. 1850 Census records show the Conway’s and all three Calvert children in the home.

William N. Calvert m. Harriet Coulson in Washington County, MO 1860. Together they had three children before William was drafted into the Civil War for the Union. No record is found of him after 1865 which implies he passed away. His death may have been due to the War Between States. Harriet re-married David Hayes and later Charles Godat having additional children with both.

John Calvert married Fannie Small and had 7 children. Confusion arises because John took his step-father’s name Godat. My grandparents knew of this discrepancy. Half of John and Fannie’s children kept the Godat name, the other half switched back to Calvert.

DNA places me with several others who trace their lineage back to the Cumberland PA Calverts, Joseph b 1747 m Ann Warner. Therer are 7 members of the DNA project who match DNA and claim descent from Joseph Calvert and Ann Warner. Joseph Calvert had a son Robert who moved his family to Graves County KY. Robert’s son Levi Newton Calvert lived in Hickman County KY for a while. His second wife lived in Hickman County and was the widow of a Hickman County businessman Mark Milner (O’Gorman 7504).
