Could this be your grandmother, married to the Kentucky William Calhoun above, and then
re-married after his death? Calloway and Carter counties are across Kentucky from one
another, but that is the only likely matches I see. Of course, the SSDI is only an index,
and not all deaths make it into this index.
Tell us more about the research you have attempted on this couple. Have you gotten your
father's birth certificate? The death records and obituaries for your grandparents?
Their marriage record? The more you tell us, the better we can help you.
