Hello Nate,
Thanks for your reply to my posting regarding Hugh Calhoun in Wabash County, IN. I have
been doing research on the Calhoun families in that couny trying to make a connection
between my direct ancestor, James Calhoun, and Hugh and Johnson Calhoun. My ancestor James
was residing in Wabash County in the 1840-1850 time frame.
At first, I thought perhaps James was a son of either Hugh or Johnson Calhoun but based
on my research that does not appear to be the case. But I still suspect some family
connection, perhaps James being a nephew of Hugh and Johnson. James' known siblings
include Henry (md. Mary Thornburg), John (md. Rebecca Thornburg) and Catharine (md. James
Cue).
James was married on 11/28/1850 to Sarah Wilhelm in Fulton County, IN. James lived the
rest of his life in Fulton County and died there in 1891. Sarah lived until 1911 and both
are buried in the Richland Center Citizens Cemetery in Fulton County.
I would be interested in learning more about your family. I would be glad to share any
information I have from Calhoun research in Wabash County. Thanks again.
Best regards,
Duane
