Letter To Dr T. M. Miller from Ida Calvert Ida Calvert Silver Hill, W. VA. Jun 1 1921 To: Dr T. M. Calvert (Note--Thomas Miller Calvert, Son of Reason Calvert,Grandson of Thomas C. Calvert) (Note-Ida is the daughter of Rezin Calver, granddaughter of Hugh Ewing Calvert and GreatGrand daughter of Thomas and Anna Ewing Calvert) Dear Uncle: We came home from Greene County last night and have nearly all the information you desire. We found the Grave of our great grandfather Thomas C. Calvert on the hill above Roberts Run on a farm owned by Richard Calvert's son Tommy. The Plot is fenced but the stone was there in three pieces. When we got the stone out of the ground we found the inscription perfect. We next went to Isaac Calvert's oldfarm now owned by Richard Calvert's son John. He bought it about a year ago from S. C. Brock. We found what we thought to be the spot covered with brush and briar's but John had his boys cut and rake the briars and at last we found a grave, part of a foot stone was there but the head stone was gone. We scoured the whole region but did not find the other stone. We next went to the old graveyard at Blacksville and easily found the grave of Anne Ewing Calvert The others were satisfied with their find but there were so many old stonesthere that Clark and I insisted on looking at them. We found a stone marked Fanny Bullett Calvert. At the head was a larger stone that had been re cut with the name Johann Margaret Calvert on it but it was very old and there had been something else on it earlier. We could make out a few letters and I believe it is Issac's Tombstone. We went to the Valley Chapel Graveyard and found Grandfather's and Grandmother's Graves in good condition Lisan Conklin says that Thomas C. Calvert and Anne Ewing Calvert were married in Mapletown but she did not know the date.
