I need information on James M. and Penelope Smith Calhoun, married in Stewart Co., GA in
1834. Penelope is the daughter of Isaac Smith. I believe they had 3 children - Jordan
Marion (b. 1835), Mary E. (b. 1836), and Wiley Ann Calhoun. The children were orphaned by
1848 and were heirs of Isaac Smith's estate. Mary E. Calhoun married Uriah Smith in
1852 and was living in Texas in the 1880's. Jordan Marion Calhoun lived with his
guardian, James Calhoun, in Barbour County, AL from 1849-1858. He married Mary Parmelia
Thomas of Barbour County and they bought land in Butler County, AL, where they lived until
1861, when Marion took Mary P. and baby George Marion back to family in Barbour County and
went to fight in the Civil War.
