The fact that Susan is 12 years old in 1870 seems to indicate that she was born before James and Mary married while that is not an unusual occurance it begs the question: Why wasn't Susan shown on the 1860 census? She would have been about two year old then. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hopkins County, Texas Census 1880 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule 1.

She said her grandmother Brewer died before she was born which computes because she (Mary Jane Stone Brewer) was not on the 1880 census. She said her great-grandmother Stone (Mary Jane's mother) lived to be in her 90's ... she spoke of an Uncle Oliver Stone, I thought her memory off there, but found an Oliver Stone age 45 on the Hopkins Co. (Texas) 1870 census, born in S.C. So there were Olivers on both sides ... I wonder if James Calvert ever remarried. There was no wife listed on the 1880 Hopkins Co., Tex. census, only his mother Zerelda E. age 68 and the children, all birthplaces, check ... Thera Bagley. Letter to David Kelley. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated 05.18.03 David Kelley & Morris Myers 2003 FGR-0068.HTM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
