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.
