Wife of William Calvert

Aged 71y.1m.22d.

Mary was born in Prince William Co, VA. After the death of her father, she moved to Athens Co, OH, with her mother, and her siblings (Nancy, Elizabeth and Stephen) about 1815.

She married William Archibald Calvert on 22 May 1824 in Athens Co, OH. They had at least eight children: John J, Lovinia, Margaret, Robert, George, Sarah Jane, Martin, and an unknown daughter.

Mary emigrated to Crawford Co, IL, between 1850-1860. She died there in 1876

Mary is seen alive on the 1870 census living with her son showing the death year of 1867 is off. According to family records posted online in ancestry her death and birth dates match the stone except that the death year is 1876 and birth year 1805. It appears the death year is transposed 67 instead of 76 which then calculates to birth year of 1805 and matches family records posted online. Census records show her born about 1805 as well.

Inscription

A light from our household is gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our hearts.
That never can be filled
