I am searching for any information about the parents of Mary Compton and
husband John Calhoun. They lived in Galveston in 1870 and 1880 and John
is listed as late as 1888/9 city directory. They had at least 9
children, the oldest I have a record was John Edward born in 1865. 8 of
the children were baptized in St. Mary's Catheral in Galveston. I don't
have information as to the place or date of their marriage or on either
of their deaths or places of burial. Some of the other children were
Susan, Josephine, Katherine, Daniel, William, Margaret, Mary (Marie) and
Elizabeth (Bess). Bess died without children and Kate married Otho
Plummer of Beaument, TX.
Any information or leads will be greatly appreciated.
