Hello:
I was most interested in the information Tom Calhoun from Charlotte N.C.
posted earlier today.
Tom, you mentioned the records in Augusta County show there is a Hugh
with the four surviving brothers.
My interest in this is the line I am researching.
I have pages from the book "A Norman Family Through The Years" by
Poingdestre-Poindexter.
The following is what the book says:
The children of Patrick Calhoun and Catherine Montgomery are:
Patrick md Martha Caldwell
James
William
Ezekiel
Hugh
Hugh Calhoun, son of Patrick and Catherine according to his will was
born abt. 1715 in County Tyrone, Ireland. He immigrated to America in
1733 with his parents and settled in Lancaster Co. Pa. and then Augusta
Co. Va. There Hugh Calhoun was a witness to a deed on Dec. 15, 1749
together with his brothers James and Patrick Calhoun.
Hugh's will dated Aug. 25, 1794 in Abbeville District. Recorded Mar 25,
1799. Exrs: Hugh (son), James Noble, Fleming Bates. Witnesses:
William Dunlap, Alexander Noble, Archibald McClene. Wife: Jennett,
Children Hugh & Ezekiel Calhoun, and Mary Marrow. Inventory made May 3,
1799 by Peter Brown, Ezekiel Calhoun Jr. and William White.
from the book: "Making of McCormick County" by Bob Edmonds
Ezekiel s/o Hugh and Jennett
was born Dec. 23, 1766 and moved to Lawrence Co Ms. about 1820 and died
there on Dec. 14, 1825. he md Margaret ? they had the following
children:
Hugh
Jane who md George Kirkwood
Ezekiel W.
Sarah P.
Henry N
James E.
John D.
This is the important information:
Jane d/o Ezekiel and Margaret md George Kirkwood April 21, 1814 in
Abbeville, the Rv. Moses Waddell performed the ceremony, and The
Honorable John C. Calhoun, then Secretary of War and cousin of the bride
presented the coupld with a set of china.
according to sources listed this information Kirkwood-Calhoun family
bible.
The only was that John C. Calhoun could be a cousin to Jane is if Hugh
is the son of Patrick and Catherine Montgomery Calhoun.
Just thought I would pass this information on.
As I know that most researchers do not think that Patrick and Catherine
had a son Hugh and I was interested in what the list memebers had to
say.
Thanks
Sharon
