JOSEPH W. CALVERT, farmer, post-office Greenville, [PA] was born in Cortland 
County, N. Y., February 21, 1819, and is a son of Nathaniel Calvert, a native 
of Ireland, who immigrated to New York State in boyhood, where he grew up and 
married Betsy E. Gamble. They reared a large family, and in the fall of 1820 
settled in Mercer County, afterward removing into Crawford County, Penn., 
where they spent the balance of their lives. The following children survive: 
Mary Ann, widow of William Mossman; James, Joseph W., Martha, widow of Aaron 
Kale, and William. Our subject grew up in Crawford County, and there married 
Mary, daughter of John Andrews, a pioneer of that county. In the fall of 1850 
he purchased his present homestead in West Salem Township, upon which he has 
since resided. Six children are the fruits of his marriage: Elizabeth, wife of 
James McNeilly; Margaret, wife of James McBroom; John N., Joseph A., Mary and 
Emma. Mr. Calvert and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church, and 
politically he is a stanch Republican. He began life comparatively poor, but 
is to-day one of the prosperous farmers of West Salem Township.
