About 1765 Joseph and his family at the time moved to San Luis, Luisiana, Nueva España, where he received a concession of the east 1/2 of Lot 61 on 30 Apr 1766.[5]
Joseph Calvé likely died on 17 Aug 1817 at St. Ferdinand, Missouri Territory, United States of America.[4]
Research Notes
Houck, in his 1908 History of Missouri Vol 2 indicates that Joseph married Theresa Marechal, but doesn't cite any sources for that information.[4] All of the contemporary baptismal, marriage, and burial record sources found to date identify the name of Joseph's wife and the mother of their children as variations of Marie Josephe Marechal.[8][10][13][14][15][17][7][19][9][11][3][6][16][18][12]
A son (name not specified) was buried in 1780.[20]

April, 1765, Joseph Calve, as a clerk for Jean Datchurut and Louis Viviat, was in charge of a boat-load of merchandise on the Missouri river when it was seized by French government officials, at Pierre Laclede Liguest's request, who claimed that his firm, Maxent, Laclede & Company, had exclusive trade rights with the Indians on the Missouri River - Datchurut and Viviat contested the action bringing the case before the Supreme Council in New Orleans which decided against Maxent, Laclede & Company, and ordered them to pay for the goods seized and associated costs

Joseph Calve was a fur trader
