Sheila (and Patsy) This is from Tom Calhoun in Charlotte, North Carolina. My Calhouns Moved from Scotland To Castlederg Area in N. Ireland in/around 1631. After staying there for three generations, and changing their name from Colquhoun to Colhoun to Calhoun. They left for the "colonies" on/about 1730. In this move was Patrick,Catherine , their dau. Catherine Mary Calhoun Noble, hus. John Noble and Four sons: James (mine), Ezekiel, William and Patrick Calhoun. They lived for awhile in Pennsylvania and after Braddocks defeat they moved further down the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road to Wytheville Virginia Area. About 1755/56 they moved again down the Wagon Road near to or through Salem,NC (now winston salem) , Salisbury NC, Charlotteburgh, NC, Near the Waxhaws, into S. Carolina and taking the Road into the Ninety Six, Abbeville Area finally settling in the "Long Canes" section near the Savannah River in 1756 as testified by John C Calhoun in one of his letters. My James, now 44 years old and his Mother, Catherine were killed during the Cherokee Indian Massacre on Feb. 1, 1760 while trying to escape to Fort Moore near Augusta, GA. I doubt that this will help you in your search as Your Calhouns landed on these shores much later. But,......I will be glad to help if I can......Tom C.

Tom, I picked up on Patrick and Mary Catherine's Calhoun family as immigrants and have documented them and their descendants in their subsequent settlements in SC. What I am missing is their ancestors in Ireland. I've spent many hours searching. Is their any possibility of acquiring what you have of their Ireland ancestry? Hopefully, I can pay you.
