In November 1828 Robeson County, NC, issued a bond for the marriage of
Daniel C. CALHOUN and Christian D. MCINNIS. Daniel was born bet. 1790 and
1800, location unknown, and died October 1838 in Richmond County, NC.
Christian was born abt 1795, location unknown, and died in April 1858,
Richmond County, NC. Daniel and Christian had two daughters. The first was
Catherine, who was born abt 1830, Richmond Co, and died childless bet. 1864
and 1866. She married William Patterson. The second was Mary Jane, born
August 31, 1832 and died February 15, 1892, Richmond Co, NC. She married
Malcolm Bethune STEWART, and they had three children: Catherine, Anna Jane
and Robert L. The life stories of these individuals are sad ones, filled
with many tragedies. I have a great deal of information about the succeeding
generations, but have been completely unable to learn anything about the
parents or siblings of Daniel C. CALHOUN, Christian D. MCINNIS, or Malcolm
Bethune STEWART. While I mentioned that I do not know the birth locations
of Daniel or Christian, I do not believe they were first generation
Americans. I am convinced that their parents resided in NC. I also believe
that Daniel had a younger brother or cousin named John Calhoun, not to be
confused with John C. Calhoun, the SC statesman. If any one can add any
information at all, I would be most grateful.
