Generation: 1

  1. 1.  James COLQUHOUN was born in 1694 (son of Charles C. COLQUHOUN and Mary KINCAID); died in 1772 in of Chesnut Level, Lancaster, PA.

    Notes:

    He emmigrated to Lancaster Co., PA and supposedly died in 1772 but we don't know where or have further information on him. He is of an appropriate age to be the elder James who purchased land in 1743 in Lunenburg, VA and was taxed there in 1749. He might be our James Calhoun's father as his lineage has not been traced.

    Notes:

    "The Clan had struggled over the centuries fighting neighboring clans and the English Crown to maintain its lands and status in Dunbartonshire. In 1602 they lost heavily to the clan McGregor. The epic poem, 'Lady of the Lake,' by Sir Walter Scott, tells the story of the bravery of the Colquhoun men, the protest by their women and the loss of their lands. Popular legend suggests that the King took pity on the clan and granted land in Ulster to Alexander XV, Lord Colquhoun. Regardless of the royal motives, the Colquhouns did acquire a plantation across the sea in Ulster.

    In his will Alexander left this plantation to his son, Adam.The first Colquhoun to permanently settle in Ulster is thought to be Adam's only son, Robert, who occupied Corkagh Manor near Letterkenny in County Donegal. (Adam's cousin, James, 19th Lord Colquhoun, went to Ulster later. James married into the Cunningham family and settled in the lowlands south of Letterkenny.)"

    Because this family intermarries with relatives so often, we have good triangulations of DNA between the following cousins and my mother. These demonstrate that the Pennsylvania Calhoun line, the William Calhoun of R.I. and our James Calhoun of VA/NC are all related with their MRCA being Alexander XV b. 1572.A092025 M.C. A338889, A338889, T005092; A497624, A614523, A092025, and A497624.
