  800 years of Colquhoun (Orval O.jpg

  
  

• Notes

  There is a controversy about if Hugh is the son of Rev. Alexander or his brother William married to Alice Cunningham. My strongest autosomal triangulation at gedmatch is between my mother and David R. Ellis Anwyl and mcdreg@frontier.com who are descendants of William Cambell Colquohun through sons Alexander with 10 cM's shared and William with 7 cM's shared respectively. This indicates that Hugh is more likely the son of Alexander, but more autosomal evidence is absolutely needed. Hugh appears to have come to America in 1733. He lived first in Pennsylvania but moved to Augusta Co., Virgnia by 1752 when he is listed as an executor for John Nobel's will, his brother-in-law. His wife died 3 years before him in Wythe Co., Virginia where his cousin, Mary's husband, John Noble died. The following account is in the Public Member Stories at Ancestry. "Agnes and Hugh Colhoun emigrated with 12 children to America in 1733 from Northern Ireland. They landed in Providence, Rhode Island. 142 relatives started out on the trip, 143 arrived (baby son born on the voyage to John and Mary Calhoun Noble). They settled first in Lancaster or Northumberland Co., PA. then moved to Augusta & Wythe Co's. VA. where Jane died. Hugh later moved into Cumberland and Alleghany Counties as per Susan Brown Bross. Hugh Calhoun returned to Ireland to visit relatives or settle an estate and died there." He and his brother or cousin, James (Patrick), emigrated on the same ship apparently from the above info. I have some triangulations with James indicating that James and Hugh are related but that Hugh has a much stronger match as my ancestor. James' triangulations indicate that those triangulations are pointing to their most recent common ancestor instead. Hugh left the Pennsyvania area in the 1740's. He witnessed a deed made to John Noble in Augusta previous to 1750. This part of Augusta Co. (later to become known as Wythe Co., Virginia) is where his wife died in 1750. He witnessed the will on John Noble in 1752 in Augusta Co., VA. He returned to Ireland on business in 1753 and died back in Ireland. I have a growing number of Calhouns with large amounts of DNA in common with me via Hugh Calhoun and his wife. There are 3 cousins who descend through his son Samuel that match me from 12 cM's though 20 cM's. This is much higher than expected because the Colquhouns intermarried in Europe to keep the wealth in the family. Gabby Calhoun is the most recently found cousins of these.
