Hello: I was most interested in the information Tom Calhoun from Charlotte N.C. posted earlier today. Tom, you mentioned the records in Augusta County show there is a Hugh with the four surviving brothers. My interest in this is the line I am researching. I have pages from the book "A Norman Family Through The Years" by Poingdestre-Poindexter. The following is what the book says: The children of Patrick Calhoun and Catherine Montgomery are: Patrick md Martha Caldwell James William Ezekiel Hugh Hugh Calhoun, son of Patrick and Catherine according to his will was born abt. 1715 in County Tyrone, Ireland. He immigrated to America in 1733 with his parents and settled in Lancaster Co. Pa. and then Augusta Co. Va. There Hugh Calhoun was a witness to a deed on Dec. 15, 1749 together with his brothers James and Patrick Calhoun. Hugh's will dated Aug. 25, 1794 in Abbeville District. Recorded Mar 25, 1799. Exrs: Hugh (son), James Noble, Fleming Bates. Witnesses: William Dunlap, Alexander Noble, Archibald McClene. Wife: Jennett, Children Hugh & Ezekiel Calhoun, and Mary Marrow. Inventory made May 3, 1799 by Peter Brown, Ezekiel Calhoun Jr. and William White. from the book: "Making of McCormick County" by Bob Edmonds Ezekiel s/o Hugh and Jennett was born Dec. 23, 1766 and moved to Lawrence Co Ms. about 1820 and died there on Dec. 14, 1825. he md Margaret ? they had the following children: Hugh Jane who md George Kirkwood Ezekiel W. Sarah P. Henry N James E. John D. This is the important information: Jane d/o Ezekiel and Margaret md George Kirkwood April 21, 1814 in Abbeville, the Rv. Moses Waddell performed the ceremony, and The Honorable John C. Calhoun, then Secretary of War and cousin of the bride presented the coupld with a set of china. according to sources listed this information Kirkwood-Calhoun family bible. The only was that John C. Calhoun could be a cousin to Jane is if Hugh is the son of Patrick and Catherine Montgomery Calhoun. Just thought I would pass this information on. As I know that most researchers do not think that Patrick and Catherine had a son Hugh and I was interested in what the list memebers had to say. Thanks Sharon
