Does anyone have any information on this line of Calhoons. I am trying to find the family
of Harriet Calhoun/Calhoon from Adams Twp. Muskingum County Ohio. She was born in Ohio
about 1819. Before Adams Twp was formed it was Monroe Twp. There are several
Calhoon/Calhoun families in the area at the time but I can find little information on
them. The following text is from a German language newspaper which translates to The
Farmers Friend.
Newspapers: DER BAUERN FREUND: 1828 - 1832: Deaths: Montgomery County, PA
May 23, 1832
CALHOON, Daniel, 112, Monroe Twp., Muskingum Co., Ohio. Native of Ireland,
came to America on the Ship Derry, landed at New Castler in 1731, aged 11.
Revolutionary War soldier, unwounded. Grey hair twice and had two full sets of teeth.
