I believe that either the father of John C or himself originally arrived
in New England from Scotland in the early 1800's. I think John C had a
twin who ended up in Mew Mexico and became a territorial governor
there. His painting hangs in the museum (formerly the governors
residence) in Santa Fe. It looks exactly like my brother.
I have been meaning to go back and read up on him in the library there
but have never been there again on a weekday.
The guard told me he was the twin.
Calhoun was originally spelled Colechon (French) and the evolved into
Colquhoun ( highland Scots) There is a castle there for the clan.
Do you have any info at all?
