Capt. Samuel Calvert 1763 -1813 |
his parents
and Mary Bassett Moseley 1765 - ca 1803
|
her
parents
of Norfolk Co and
Courtland, Southampton Co, VA
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
SAMUEL
CALVERT of Norfolk, VA
married 6 April 1789 in Norfolk, VA MARY BASSETT MOSELEY daughter of
John Bassett Moseley and Mary
Rebecca Newton.
SAMUEL
CALVERT married on the 3 Nov 1803 in Courtland, VA FRANCES
BRIGGS who was born in 1770 in Courtland, VA.
Samuel Calvert spoken of in
Southampton Co. today as "Capt. Calvert" (sea captain) was born about
1763, eldest child of Christopher and Peggy (Boush) Calvert who were
married 27 Oct 1762. His parents removed from Norfolk, VA to Courtland,
VA. In 1789 Samuel was appointed administrator of his father's estate. The
will of Samuel Calvert was dated Aug. 1, 1810 and proved Oct. 18, 1813
Southampton Co. In it he left $500 to son William, and $300 to son Marsden
Calvert to complete their education. Samuel Calvert was a Mason.
Traditions says that Sam and all of
his kin then living in Norfolk County were seafaring men, and that young Sam,
when he was only eleven years of age, ran away from home and went to sea with
his uncles. (Later records of which the family knew nothing until recent years
record that Cornelius Calvert's sons were all seafaring people. At one time
there were ten Calvert Captains on the seas.)
Capt, Samuel Calvert of Southampton
Co., VA wrote his will in 1810, and it was probated in Southampton Co.
records in 1813. He was at that assembling material for his home as he speaks of
the building material therein. Apparently he was building it for his young wife,
(his second), Frances Briggs, to whom he willed the farms and house. This house
is still in good condition being located about three miles outside of Courtland
and known as the Devaney Farm. The old
Calvert Coat of Arms is today in the gable, being about three feet in diameter
and made of plaster casts. The date of its erection appears on the face of the
Court of Arms, 1812. Evidently the builder was not
spared long enough to enjoy the new home as he died during the first half of
1813 and the property passed into the hands of the Briggs and Devaney
families.
Capt Calvert is buried on this farm in the
family burying grounds. His grave was marked by a large Holly Tree. Frances
Briggs Calvert, his wife, had a sister who married a Devaney. After
Capt. Calvert's death, his sons moved into NC and headed by the eldest son,
Samuel, founded Jackson, NC in 1823.

JACKSON LETTER....
Mr. S. J. Calvert has received a letter from Mobile, Ala., announcing the death
of his great uncle, Mr. William Calvert, who was
the youngest son of Sam'l Calvert who died at Jerusalem (now Courtland)
Southampton County, Virginia, in 1810, leaving five sons, viz: Sam'l Calvert,
Bassett M. Calvert, Mathew Calvert, John Mashden Calvert and William Calvert.
The Mobile Register of Dec. 2, 1898, has the following notice of Mr. William
Calvert death on Dec. 1, 1898 at his residence at Nannahubba Bluff on the
Tombigbee river, Alabama:
"One of the oldest inhabitants of this State, Mr. William Calvert, passed
away from this life Tuesday ot Nannahubba Bluff, on the Tombigbee river.
Mr. Calvert was born in Norfolk, Va., March 17, 1800. He removed to Mobile in
1827, and in 1830 married Miss Caroline Darling, granddaughter of Samuel Mims.
At that time he built the house which now stands at the southwest corner of
Congress and Conception. When he built his home there was nothing but piny
woods around him, and he had to blaze a way to th[e] town and
river.
For many years he raised cotton, but afterwards engaged in mercantile persuits.
In 1858 he removed to his present home at Nannahubba Bluff.
Mr. Calvert was the oldest subscriber to The Register and for sixty years, had
har[d]ly missed a single issue.
The funeral will take place at 11 o'clock today from the residence of Mrs.
Helen B. Webster, corner Congress and Conception."
Mr. Samuel Calvert the oldest son, and brother of William Calvert moved to
Jackson, then Northampton Court House, in December 1832 and died here Sept. 3,
1881, and is well remembered, by the people of this county. He was born Sept.
16, 1792, in Virginia.
Mr. William Calvert leaves a large estate, and having no children, willed his
property to his wife's niece. The will was made only two years ago, in his 97th
year, and will be offered for probate on 23rd of this month. Of course the heirs
in North Carolina will make investigations looking to a contest of the will.

Calvert home located somewhere in the eastern section of Norfolk on Calvert in

Nansemond giving directions as to construction of certain vessels he was
supervising. Samuel Maxwell married Helen Calvert, a daughter of Maximillian

in 1679 will of Mrs. Margaret
Cheeseman, Frances is not named, having doubtless received the share
to be given to each "on marriage or age of 21." The others are
Alice, Elizabeth, Anne, Abigail, Mary and Dinah. Margaret Mason, who lives
with -, godmother, we suppose to be the daughter Margaret of Colonel Lemuel,
named by him, though she is made - - - [paper torn] with Mrs. Mary Childs,
and according to the order in which written in her father's will, could not
have been more than twelve years of age. To her was devised "£150, the
lease of the house I live in, and the plate I had of John Harrison." To
Alice there was given "a great Beaker" a tankard, each to
Elizabeth and Ann a great ring; and the rest of the plate to be divided
among the others. She names her "Coezin, Elizabeth Thelabell,"
from which we can put her down as aunt to Colonel Lemuel and his sister, the
said Mrs. Thelabell. -the New England Register, Volume 42
Were Phillips and Phripp the same
person?
As an instance of the miswriting of this name, when Mrs. Frances Phripp, in
1742, stood as godmother to one of the Tucker children, she was entered in
their bible as Mrs. Frances Phreep. Late Mrs. Mary Phrip Phripp, in the same
office, was Mrs. Streep. The name died out in Norfolk when Matthew died
without children of his own, and in 1780 devised a large estate to those of
his sister, Mrs. Stephen Wright. He had a brother who married Mrs. Mary Anne
Walke (her third husband), leaving a son and daughter, the wife of Dr. James
Ramsay. The son married in 1793 Miss Sallie Kieling, but must have left
Norfolk, or died without issue.

Two depositions, from Lieut.
Francis Mason, are quoted :
the statement that he was 42
in 1637 and, therefore, born in 1595, is generally accepted. Another that he
was 40 in 1628, or seven years older. the Baltimore Sun of April 9, 1905
the emigrant came over on the
"John and Francis," with his wife, Mary, and daughter, Ann, in
1613. Hotten
He was magistrate, justice and
vestryman of Lower Norfolk. His second wife came to Virginia in 1622, in the
"Margaret and John." She was born 1626 (1626) (Dep.). There are
other accounts, which affirm that an early Francis and James were half
brothers of Colonel Lemuel Mason. James Mason was as prominent in Surry as
was Lemuel in Lower Norfolk. He held large grants there, as well as in lsle
of Wight, and in 1652 was a member of the Council.
"Some time before 1626,
Francis Mason was assigned 50 acres of land in Charles City, but he never
settled this. After a trip to England, for which he was granted passage on
October 1626, he returned to Virginia and settled in that part of Elizabeth
City which, in 1636, became New Norfolk County, where his land is of record
1635, in a patent to Thomas Willoughby, and in 1636 in one to William
Julian. An act of Assembly, Jan. 6, 1639/40 named him as a tobacco viewer
for the Western Branch to Elizabeth River."
"His plantation may be
identified through the patent issued Aug. 31, 1642 to Lieut. Francis (1)
Mason for 1,250 acres at "Hogpen Point," near land of Capt. Thomas
Willoughby. His headrights included Francis Mason, Mary Mason his first
wife, Ann Mason his daughter, and Alice Gany his second wife ..."
"from Lower Norfolk
County Records, WIlls and Deeds C, December 15th 1651:
"Recorded 15 Jan 1651/1. Dated
7 Nov 1648. Agreement betw Alice Mason, widow and relict of Mr. Francis
Mason, dec'd and Mr. Lemuell Mason of the one part and Mr. James Thelaball
of the other part. (1) 'That the samd Lemuel Mason shall uppon demand give

against Hogg Iland being about Two hundred acres, which the one halfe of the
said Hogg Iland, which Hogg Iland is to be devided by fower men to be
indifferenly chosen, or by the said Lemuel and James, one of them to make
the devision, and tht other to choose as they shall best agree'. (2) Alice
and Lemuel to give James "two thousand foote of sawen planke". (3)
Alice and Lemuel to give James "as much glasse and leade, as to make

Mason, Lemuell Mason, James Thelaball.

"
2nd wf of Francis Mason was Alice Ganey, who with Margerie Ganey were
among the first named by Mason's headrights in 1622. She came to America in
1622 on the "Margarett and John." Her sister Margaret or Margerie
Ganey may have married John Cheesman or John Chisman, as a woman with that
name recorded in her will that she was the aunt of Lemuel Mason and
Elizabeth Thelaball.
