Jennifer,
Were Mary's parents born in Columbia Co., GA?If so, I might be related.
My family has lived under the names Calvert, Colvard, and Colbert. My 4th GG was Thomas Calvert/Colvard of Halifax Co., NC between 1720 and 1785. He had several sons and daughters, but it is not known how many.
There are many who believe that John Stokely (Shockley) Colvard and William Bashford Colvard are descendants of Thomas.Both the Shockley and Bashford families lived in Accomack Co., VA during the 1600's and in Bute Co., NC in the 1780's when my Calvert/Colvard/Colbert family lived in those locations.
Several years ago I took a y-DNA-67 test and I have the exact DNA as two Colvard cousins who can trace their families to western North Carolina and Hardeman Co, Tennessee. They later moved to Arkansas and finally Oklahoma.
