"History From Our Old Friend 1881 Waynesburg Gazette
On Saturday last Mr. John D. Calvert of Wayne Township came into our office and paid his
subscription.He wore the old time red warmers, a garment getting to be very rare in the latter days of starch and style.In fact since the demise of Mr. Pettit of Morris Township we did not know of any other in Greene County who still clung to the revolutionary relic.Mr. Calvert was ruddy and hearty and jolly and looked the very personification of health and strength.One of those big little men stout and tough and tireless and we were at once interested and astonished when in the routine of conversation.He revealed the fact that he was about 77 years of age.
We interviewed our old friend and found him agreeable, communicative and only regretful that he could not more accurately answer the numerous queries with which we plied him.He was the son of Thomas Calvert, who died a few years ago at the advanced age of 101.His grandfather died at the age of about 100.His mother died at the age of 73 and was Irish descent.
His grandmother lived the full age of 100 - and was born on ship board of a German vessel during passage to this country.His great grandmother's maiden name was Bullet, came from Germany and lived to be 113.
His uncle Zeke Calvert, or Colbert as he was called where he lived, died some years ago in the 104th year of his age.Two aunts still survive.Polly Marshall living near Blacksville - he does not know her exact age but he presumes to be in her 98th year - she is the mother of 12 children, the grandmother of upwards of 140, the great grandmother of many and has several great great grand children.Aunt Peggy who is 2 years younger than Aunt Polly married a man by the name
of Farlow and moved long ago to the State of Iowa.
Mr. Calvert said his ancestors came to this country along with the Bailys from Bucks and Lancaster County, England and located in the Carmichaels Settlement at a very early day promising to look up the subject and report more at length.He bade us a rollicking goodbye and tripped down the stairs as lightly as a lass."
