Hi - William Thomas Calhoun is my wife's great-great-grandfather (Archie was her
great-grandfather). If you're still wondering if 'William Thomas' and
'Thomas' could be the same person, I did find his marriage record to Martha
Christian on-line at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~iavanbur/VBCmarriages_CD.html - and it has
his name as 'Thomas Calhoun':
Calhoun, Thomas Christian, Martha 10/2/1869
This is from the 'Early Van Buren Co Marriages in the Van Buren, IA Genweb site.
I was hoping to trace Martha Christian back further. There's an Alexander Christian
family in Van Buren at this time, with a daughter Martha, who would be Martha
Calhoun's age (though I have her being born 11/15/1850, and she's listed in the
1850 census, which was done September 1850. I think my date's wrong)
