Renae: I am so happy to have made contact with you. My address is 209 Henderson St.; San
Antonio, TX 78209. Phone 210-826-7265. My e-mail is Jhelmke(a)sbcglobal.net
I had been told by several of my North LA "cousins" to get in touch with you.
I also will send on a copy of your e-mail to Fred Hamilton, who lives in Ruston, LA. I
descend from Archibald Calhoun, bapt in 1802, in the Old Bluff Presby Ch, Wade, NC. Fred
said they all went to Cheraw Dist SC, then to Henry Co. GA, then Talbot Co GA. My
Archibald, called Archer or Arche, I think married Eliza Simmons in 1830 in Upson Co. GA.
I descend from Archibald's 1st child, Harriet V. Calhoun, b. 1832, prob GA. She m.
James Hamilton Simonton. They are in the Ashley Co AR census. Both died in their
30's. Harriet is buried in the Old Sibley Cy adjacent to the Alabama Presby Ch,
Choudrant LA. James H. is buried in Athen, LA in the Brownfield plot, with his sister,
Sarah Simonton Brownfield. Harriet and James H. had 2 surviving children, I descend from
James Walter Simonton who m. Myra Medora Malone, dau of David Malone and 2nd wife Martha
Gresham Malone of Bienville Parish LA. !
These last 2 were my gr grandparents. It will be after Christmas, but I will get back to
you. Perhaps we can exchange information. Do you have any photos of anyone? I have only
one of James Walter Simonton and his family. Thank you so much for contacting me. I look
forward to working with you. Jackie Helmke
