I am researching my new husband's ancestry for his birthday. He is Brian Patrick Calhoun, son of Edwin John Calhoun and Joan Ann Granec, UPenn alum. Grandfather is Edwin H. Calhoun of Philadelphia (brothers George and Joe) who was married to Agnes Iwanowski, g-grandfather Edwin H. Calhoun. Supposedly one of his Calhoun relatives was governor of PA?
I am new to the geneology process and not sure where to go from here. Assistance is greatly appreciated! I think this will make a truly memorable gift.

I am looking for ancestry for John Caldwell Calhoun born Nov. 29, 1865 in Carroll county MS. His first wife was Elois Brewer, sister of Gov. Earl Brewer of MS. His second wife was Mollie Eades daughter of William Augustus Eades and Bennie Johnson. I need information on John Caldwell Calhoun's father whose name was Davis, David, or Dave.His wife was Mattie Wallace. I found MS marriage record for Davis Calhoun and Martha Wallace married July 18, 1860, in Carroll county MS. I think this might be the one I'm looking for. I want to go back as far as possible. John Caldwell Calhoun was my grandfather.

The following Calhoun lines are direct descendents of Alexander, fifteenth Colquhoun Clan chieften (573-1617) through his son, Adam, grandson, Robert, and Great Grandson, William Campbell Colquhoun (Calhoun).
Among William Campbell Colhoun’s children were Rev. Alexander Colhoun, Great Grandfather of John Caldwell Calhoun of South Carolina (Senator + Vice President), and William Colhoun, born in 1664.
William Colhoun and his wife Alice Cunningham (?) had eleven children born in Strabane, Ireland, between 1690 + 1710. Several migrated to America, among them Samuel, born in 1692, who migrated to Massachusetts with wife and first child John born 1714 between 1714 and 1722. They appear to have settled in Shrewsbury, where their later children were born:
James (1722), Alexander (1724), Samuel Jr. (1726, William (1728), and Mary (1736).
The family evidently moved to Petersham, Massachusetts after Mary was born. James bought land in Petersham in 1759 (recorded in 1766). From subsequent deeds, he evidently died in 1785 or 1786. Subsequent land transfers involving his widow, Elizabeth Crowl Colhoon, indicate that James and Elizabeth had at least three sons: James, John, and Gard(I)ner. Later records in New York indicate a younger son, Joel.
The younger James was born in Petersham in 1764, according to Revolutionary War pension records, and served in various regiments 1782 – 1784. In 1787 he married Susa (Susannah) Hinds of Greenwich. Their Children were:
James (1788 –1791)
Elizabeth (1789-1791)
Tabithy (b. 1791, married Dyer Selby)
James, Jr. (b.1792)
Elizabeth (b.1794)
Wilbert (b.1796)
Erastus (1798 – 1802)
Samuel (b.1800, married Orpha Kent)
Unnamed infant (1802)
Susannah died in 1802, subsequent to birth of unnamed infant. James remarried, to Mary Perry, in 1803. Their children also born in Petersham were:
Sandford (b.1803)
Susan (b. 1803)
Marry (1806 – 1817)
Margeretta (1807 – 1832)
In 1808, James and Mary Calhoun moved to Wayne County, New York. Additional children born there were:
Sampson (1809 – 1841)
Elerta (or Eleeta) (b. 1811)
Jacob (b. 1813)
Judith (b. 1817)
Erestos (b. 1819, married Lucinda, lived in Palmyra, NY)
Marry (b. 1820)
John Hancock (b. 1822)
Sanford married Fanny M. and evidently had children:
Julyett, Myron, Mary, and Charles. They lived in Walworth and later Palmyra, Wayne County. Charles was a Civil War veteran and died in 1929, buried in Sodus, Wayne County. Various descendents of Myron remained in Wayne County.
Samuel, born 1800 lived and died in Wayne County with wife Orpha Kent. They had at least five children:
James Kent (1827 – 1863) who married Catherine Pitcher
George (1837- 1877), who married Roxie A. and had at least two children, Hattie and Willard.
Helen (1834 – 1884), who married Jackson Sawyer.
? ( ) Who married ? Van Etten, and whose children were Charles C. and Francis M. Van Etten.
? ( ), Who married a Mr. Swazy.
James Kent Calhoun (1827 – 1863) and wife Catherine had two children, James Kent Calhoun (1863 – 1943) and Mary Elizabeth (“Libbie”). Libbie married John Wrightson Preston and had a son, Hugh Preston Calhoun (1880 – 1884).
The younger James Kent Calhoun married, first, Alice Duffield Browne and, second, Blanche Hurtford. Four children were born of each marriage, with the eight children having a total of twenty-one children. This family still centered in Glencoe, now numbers over one hundred and is scattered across the country.

I am looking for the parents of my great grandfather Alexander Calhoun who, according to the 1920 census, was born in Delaware in 1845. His parents are listed as also having been born in Delaware. Is anyone else researching this family?

JUST A LONG SHOT BUT I HAVE A JAMES CALHOUN'S IN NC AT THE SAME TIME WHO MOVED TO ADAIR CO. KY ABOUT THE SAME TIME DO YOU THINK IT COULD BE THE SAME FAMILY?
Hi list,
Would like to know more about these two Calhouns who are recorded in
Union Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA. If anyone has any
information on them would you please email me. They are from an area
in Co. Donegal where I had Lowrys, Calhouns, Rogers and Stevensons
and would like to know if there is any connection. My Lowrys and
Stewarts attended the Union Presbyterian Church in the 1840s.
The two Calhoun men are:
1. Moses Calhoun, who was admitted on Jan 12, 1848 from Ballylennan,
Co. Donegal and later dismissed in about 1854.
2. William Calhoun, who was admitted on May 15 1850 from 1st
Presbyterian Church, Ballylennan, Co. Donegal.
Thanks.
