THE CALVITS, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, AND A LAND GRANT America’s Revolutionary War for Independence called the four brothers— William, Joseph, Frederick, and Thomas—to arms. As the American Revolutionary War flared in the East, the frontier in Tennessee and Kentucky was aflame in Indian attacks sponsored by the British. The Calvit brothers fought in these Indian Wars and suffered their brutalities. In April 1777 on Crockett’s Creek in what is now Rogersville, Tennessee, Indians shot and scalped Joseph’s younger brother, Frederick. He survived.
