John Caldwell Calhoun, VP of the United States under Jackson and Buchanan, had one
daughter who survived him. She married Thomas Greene Clemson, a wealthy mining engineer
from Alabama. They donated John C Calhoun's plantation and home, Fort Hill in
northern South Carolina, to the State of South Carolina in the 1870's and it became
Clemson University. The home is a museum in the middle of the Clemson campus. John C
Calhoun and I had common ancestors in Ireland. He is my third cousin ten times removed.
