This might be of interest to those on this board. Florence E. was my
gggrandmother. She was murdered by her stepson, William Vaughn in 1902
in Hiram, Portage County, Ohio. Other info on Samuel indicates that he
was somhow related to John C. Calhoun.
"History of Portage County, Ohio" published by Warner, Beers & Co.,
Chicago, 1885
SAMUEL CALHOUN, patentee, P.O. Edinburgh, was born in Trumbull County,
Ohio, September 23, 1823; son of Andrew and Elizabeth Calhoun, natives
of Pennsylvania, who came to Trumbull County in a very early day and
there remained until their death, in 1833 and 1877 respectively. Our
subject was married, October 3, 1844, to Martha J. Lynn, born in
Pennsylvania in 1826, daughter of John Lynn (deceased). Mr. and Mrs.
Calhoun have had five children: Mary E. (wife of C.G. Fisher), James G.,
Emily J. (wife of J.W. Wilson), Florence E. (wife of Col. Vaughn), and
Viola A. (wife of Will Hilliar). Our subject was a stock-dealer for some
years, but for the greater part of his life has been engaged in
inventing, and has made improvements on gates and fencing.
I hope copying the Bio above isn't a no-no. I am just beginning my
search and am unfamiliear with procedures.
