Wilsie, My ggggrandfather was Samuel Calhoun b 1788 Abbyville,NC d TX 1871 He was a slave owner in Jones Co Ga. He brought 100 of his slaves with him when he moved to an area around Madisonville Texas in 1845 along with his Son-in-law James A. Cabiness. I know that many slaves took the name of their owners. I do not have a lot of information on Samuel before he came to Texas. He married an Elizabeth Finney, she died in 1836 and is buried in GA. I have not researched his Georgia roots. I do not know if this infomation gives you any leads, but I thought it could be related.
