Judith - Have just uncovered a letter written in 1903 by my 2nd greatgrandfather Charles
Calhoun, which states that his sister Margaret married Francis Rankin and moved to
Louisville, Kentucky, where she lived until her death in 1920. Her chidren were Samuel (a
civil engineer), Letitia ("Lettie"), Jane, Lillie, Charles, Mary, Margaret,
Frank, and Isabelle. I have located the Rankin family in Louisville on the 1870, 1880,
and 1920 census. A second letter written by another Calhoun descendant states that both
Margaret and Robert Calhoun married Rankins from PA, and Margaret married
"Frank" in PA, moving with her family to Louisville, where the author visited in
1920. Samuel was particularly described. Could this be your Louisville Rankin family?
