P.S.
SInce you trace back to David from PA, I am interested in what you have back downline to
the present. I think I may be from same line, but for years could not make a connection
for sure.
Recently, I saw Augusta Co. (VA) records that tend to prove that Hugh and Agnes Calhoun
lived there (she is buried there) and the James who lived there may have been Hugh's
son James, and not James Patrick's son James (or perhaps both were there). The James
who did live in Augusta Co. VA was the brother in law of John Noble who married Mary
Calhoun. Noble died there and left a will that was witnessed by James among others.
Each of these two familes had a James and I think each had a Mary, so it is hard to
decipher. Some sources seem to indicate that James (Hugh's son) stayed in PA, but I
am skeptical since his Dad went to VA.
Who are you descended from in that line?
If I can establish that these David's are the same David's in my line, I have a
straight line back to Scotland. I think David ll stayed in VA and then to KY where he
married Eady Ayers and had a son named Thomas in 1826. Otherwise, your line is probably
clear (although not through James Patrick, I am afraid)
so-- your James was Patrick Calhoun's 1st cousin, and John C.'s 1st cousin once
removed!
