I am the great granddaughter of Joseph Lee and Rebecca Ann Tackett
Calhoun of the Pikeville, KY area. My grandmother was Belvia Anders
Calhoun Offenbaker. She had 2 sisters: Lillian Ruth Calhoun Tackett and
Kathryn Stratton. I can only remember the brothers: James, Rel, Franklin
& William. William has a son who my cousins have been looking for:
William Burnside Calhoun, Jr., last known residence was in Maryland. My
cousin has traced our Calhoun lineage back to ll90. Somehow our line was
involved with the controversy surrounding Mary, Queen of Scotts and the
Stewarts on our side of the family, and the failed opportunity of our
family laying claim to the throne of England. My cousin, Leah Deane
Tackett, would be the best to ask this. She has our family crest and
coat of arms. A lot of her information came from an Orville Calhoun in
Canada who has written 3 books on the Calhoun Family. He was in the
middle of his 4th book when he passed away.HIs son, I don't know his
name, was !
supposed to finish the book. She has not heard if he has or not. I am
sure my cousin would welcome all serious inquiries. You may contact her,
