Hi, FYI
I am descended from David and Eda Calhoun. David's father was David (b. 1765) and
mother was "Fereby" (or "Pharibee") who lived in Russell Co., VA until
at least 1800. They appear on land records (selling land in the late 1790s).
I cannot confirm that Thomas was his brother, but there are Russell Co. tax records
showing that a Thomas and James lived w/ or next to David Sr. in that Co. in the late
1700s.
Also, I have recently found connections from William Calhoun of Wythe Co., son of Andrew
Calhoun, son of Rev. Alexander of Crosh House Estate, Ireland to cousins of mine in KY
(where my grandfather Calhoun was born). This seems to confirm that WIlliam was teh
father of David Sr. and presumably Thomas also. Good luck with your research.
