Hi, This is the first time I have posted to the list,
Does any one know my Elzy A. Calhoun, he was born in
Geo. in 1810, He married a Rachael Ann??? (could be
Harper), she is from North Carolina, they married in
Georgia, and had there first child there in 1832, her
name was Mary Ann , they moved to Alabama, when?? and
had there secound child there Francis Ann, born 1848.
Then they are on the 1850 Rusk Co. Texas census, he is
listed as a blacksmith, On the 1860 census they are in
VanZandt co. Texas, Rachel Ann dies there in the 1860's
and is buried there, Elzy, is then living with a Robert
Harper and his daughters, Elzy also dies and is buried
in Van Zandt co. Mary Ann has a child by a L. GUTHRIE,
he was killed in cattle drive, or so goes family story,
she then marries Samuel Caldwell, and they move to Miss,
this is from 1852 til I find them in 1860 living in
Williamson Co. Texas, Samuel is listed as a Minister, by
1860 Mary Ann and Samuel has had two sons, William
Alexander Caldwell, born @1855 then Harper Moten
Caldwell, born @ 1856-57, both born in Mississippi. When
Mary Ann and Samuel return to Texas, they let the
William and Emily Guthrie raise Mary Anns 1st. son Elzy
Calhoun Guthrie, this was in Smith Co. Texas, Elzy
Calhoun Guthrie is my Gr. Grandfather and we don't know
any thing on this line, other then what I stated, does
any one know the parents of Elzy A. Calhoun's parents,
could it be one of the sons of Ezekiel and Agnes Long
Calhouns, sons, I.E. William and Rebecca Tonnyhill
Calhoun, or Ezekiel and Francis Hamilton Calhoun or
Alexander and Kitty Johnson Calhoun. If any one has any
info on any of this, Calhouns Guthries or Harpers, it
would be GREATLY APPRICATED, I am really stuck, THANK
YOU, lIST MEMBERS Yolonda Staten
