Can anyone help with genealogy information for John Calhoun son of William & Mary
Calhoun. Majority of census show John born in Virginia. He married Elizabeth Middleton
10/1824 in Belmont Co., Ohio. Their children were William (born 7/17/1825 in Barnesville,
Ohio, Belmont Co), Mary, Phoebe & Elizabeth.
John's wife Elizabeth died 4/1833.
John later married Hannah Blanche (Mock) (Gaff) 11/1834 Greene Co., Ohio. Their children
were: (all born Ohio):
Webster, Clinton, John C. David, Noah, T. Corwin & Wesley R. This family moved from
near Dayton Ohio to Macon County, Il. in 1857. They farmed until 1864. Father John died
in 1866 & is buried in Decatur, Il. Hannah died 6/1891 & is buried in
Bloomington, Il.
I would like family information ESPECIALLY IN VIRGINIA - wonder if they were tied into the
AUGUSTA COUNTY VIRGINIA Calhoun family. Family legend says they were somehow related to
John C. Calhoun but we have no proof.
(email me at calhoun(a)prairieinet.net (note the "i" in the middle of the email
address)
(Possible siblings of above John Calhoun are Elizabeth b. 1800 in Va., Noah b. 1803,
Margaret B. b. 1805, Eliza b. 1807 & Phebe b. 1809)
