From Sally Renaudette of Westfield MA we learn of a new Callicott family whose roots were in Moore County NC with the name "Calcutt". Moore County borders on the east side of Montgomery & Randolph County, home of most of our early ancestors that moved from Virginia. Sally reports that she descends from a "Thomas Calcutt", the earliest known ancestor of these Moore County relatives. This writer (John T. Callicott) had a long telephone conversation with Mrs Gertrude Keith of Pine Bluff NC., youngest grandchild of Thomas Calcutt. Gertrude is in very poor health having had recent heart bypass surgery followed by a stroke. She will attempt to supplement the following when possible: Ora Callicott, our family genealogist in Greensboro NC, strongly feels that Thomas is the son of James whose property, was on the Moore / Montgomery County lines in NC.

At this time we do not know just how this family fits into the "Callicott" family as defined in CC,-I. The name similarity, location and dates provide a strong indication they are related. To positively so identify them, we need to know, as a minimum, the name of the father of Thomas Calcutt, b. 1842.
