Hi Cynthia:
My grandfather and grandmother were Joseph Calhoun and Loyle (don't know her last
name). My father was Roy. His sisters were Ruth, Catherine and Mabel, not Mary. He also
had brothers Rahleh (sp?), David, Joe and another that slips my mind at the moment. Our
branch homesteaded Wisconsin while still a territory in Dell WI, but moved to Laona in the
early 1900's.
We think Caalhoun is of Scots origin, not Irish. The original Scots clan was Colquhoun.
Dave
