You took the type right out of my fingers! :)
I mean no ill-will to anyone in pursuit of their ancestral lines, but I applaud you,
Patti-Ann, as the voice of reason and truth, in this instance.
Reason should never take back seat to serious research.
The veil of unfounded declaration is not difficult to see through. It is ludicrous to
suppose that all Cahoons, Colquhouns, Calhouns and other variants of our surname have all
stemmed from the loins of one single man, documented to have existed in Swansea, MA and
elsewhere....
He is my ancestor, but he is NOT the father of ALL...
Other Cahoons, Calhouns, and Colquhouns and variants emigrated from England, Ireland,
Scotland, Wales, Australia and elsewhere... why that fact seems to have no registration to
the eyes and minds of the impetuous, mislead, and zealous, I can not fathom!
