My great-grandmother was Susan Davison Calhoun, born Jan. 11, 1844, daughter
of James P. Calhoun, and married to William Thomas McElroy of Washington
Co., KY. There are reasons to speculate that the "P." in James P. Calhoun
stands for "Parker", tho I do not have any verification of that. Passed
down in my family are a pair of very early photographs of John C. and
Margaret Calhoun, who I speculate were the parents of James P. Calhoun.
There are also records of a John Calhoun who was postmaster of Springfield,
KY, in 1816, and a John Calhoun who was named as a witness on legal
documents pertaining to the McElroy brothers who moved from Virginia to
Kentucky about 1790.
That is the extent of my current knowledge of this branch of my ancestry.
Any additional information would be very much appreciated.

Looking for information on the parents of George Wesley Calhoun. He was born abt. 1824, most likely in Rockingham Co., Virginia. He married Mary Elizabeth RIDDLE in 1851. They had four sons (James Wilson, Tavener Alexander, John W and William Edward) and one daughter (Sarah Elizabeth), all born in Rockingham Co., Virginia.
Also researching the Satterfield, Tolley, and Cole surnames.

Hello Valorie, Carla, and List,
I have Hugh Calhoun and Nancy McLeod in my records. I have their
children, but not much more. There is a penciled in note (in my
handwriting) that says Hugh is the son of John, Malcolm's brother. I
don't know where I got that information.
I am a direct descendant of Malcolm Calhoun who was born on Isle of Skye
about 1760. My Malcolm married Christian McCorqudale. In my records,
it is stated that they came to the US in 1792 and landed on the coast of
Virginia where they lived for the first 18 years. Then they moved to
North Carolina and later to Clarke County, Alabama in 1820. Malcolm and
Christian are buried in Clarke County.
Now it gets confusing. In the 1790 census of Cumberland County, North
Carolina there are listed several Calhouns with the right names,
Malcolm, Archibald, Duncan, etc. I don't have the list at hand, but I
remember that there were several of them. This doesn't fit with my
records, but he names are so close.
I have a Malcolm Calhoun genealogy which was compiled by my Uncle Jesse
T. Calhoun in 1935. He has them arriving in 1792 in Virginia. He
doesn't mention any brothers or their parents.
The LDS Family History Center has listed a book by Gene Ermert titled
Seven Brothers Calhoun: the Calhouns of the Southern States of the
United States of America (1790-1865). I haven't seen it, but I plan to.
I am suspecting that there are two sets of Calhouns. Ours are from Isle
of Skye, but some are Scotch-Irish.
I would love to find Malcolm and Christian's parents and siblings and I
would appreciate any info that you may have.

Hi to all,
I am researching REV. HUGH CALHOUN born Aug. 23, 1802, who married Nov.
3,
1825 to NANCY McLEOD born April 23, 1802 and died July 18, 1889. They
settled in Kaufman Co., TX. Below is the info that I have on this
family.
Anxious to hear from anyone with information,
I need to find his siblings and most especially information regarding
his
parents, who are believed to be JOHN COLQUHOUN/CALHOUN who married a
lady by
the name of ANN or Sarah.
JOHN COLQUHOUN/CALHOUN b. in ISLE OF SKYE, SCOTLAND. He arrived in
America ca 1792 and settled in NC along with Malcolm, Duncan, Laughlin &
Archibald Colquhoun. Presumably these were his brothers......no
written
proof of this. They were members of the Bluff Presbyterian Church near
Wade, NC JOHN
COLQUHOUN married ANN (or maybe SARAH) They had at least one child,
HUGH
CALHOUN. Name was changed from Colquhoun to Calhoun soon after their
arrival in America and settled in NC. HUGH CALHOUN married NANCY
McLEOD
married on Nov. 3, 1825. Nancy was born on Apr. 23, 1813 & died on
July
3, 1889. Hugh and Nancy had 12 children: 1. John D. (the father of
my
gr. gr. grandfather, Burrell Jackson Calhoun), 2. Neal, 3. Mary,
4.
Elizabeth, 5. HUGH KENDRICK CALHOUN (ALSO LIVED IN AND DIED IN
KAUFMAN
CO, TX.) 6. Margarite 7. Florrie, 8. Christian,

Thomas Calhoun Griffin was born Feb 17, 1831 in Talbot County, GA. He
married Matilda Caroline Riley on July 30, 1851 in Noxubee County, MS.
He
and several members of his family moved to Kaufman County, TX. He died
there
on Nov 11, 1872.
Because Calhoun is obviously a family surname, I'm hoping it will catch
your
eye and ring a memory bell or two. Thomas' parents were Henry Matthew
Griffin and Sarah Cheney Griffin. Who were Henry's parents? Where did
they
come from and where did they go?
Thanks,

QRYTEXT: I am making a family tree for my grandchildren and I am looking
for my relatives. I have found quite a considerable amount about the
family, however I keep finding that there are invisible branches all
over my tree. I got to one point and found that the branch grew in
another direction ? I am trying to find out where all these crazy
branches connect, so I am looking to the family for awnsers.
So far this is what I know for sure.
Great-Grandfather was William "Lee" Calhoun or Cahoon
he married Matilda Pope
Grandfather was Geter Tillman Calhoun b.1900 born in North Carolina and
d. 1971 in VA, married Lucinda Thomas (would also like to know her
family)I do know that she had an Uncle named Samuel Thomas and her
sister was Leona Thomas and Leona married my grandfather's brother
Robert Calhoun.
Father Hobert Lee Calhoun b. 1930 in Avery Co. NC, he is still living.
His first wife was Dorthy Shepard and his second wife my mother is Betty
Ann Bray Calhoun.
Then there is me Charlotte Ann Calhoun Spell, I was born in Newport
News, VA in 1958.
