Generation: 3

James C CALHOUN, (1810 census for James - 1 under 10, 1820 census - age 16-25, 1830 census - age 30-39) was born about 1795 in , Guilford, North Carolina, USA (son of James CALHOON, Jr. (1810 census - one over 45) and Sarah ***, 1790 census (accounts for 3 out of 3 females) (1810 - 1 f over 45)); died after 1860 in of Marian, Putnam Co., IN, USA.

Notes:

There is NO PROOF that the James Calhoun of Putnam Co., Indiana was married to a Rebecca Parrish at all. They had him confused with the James married to Rebecca Parrish in Guilford in 1822. Typical trees for him had him also listed with two daughters that belonged to the James Calhoun whose daughters, Eliza and Martha were listed as underage in his 1838 estate administration in Guilford Co., NC. That James was married to Rebecca Parish. Underage children listed in his 1838 Estate Administration in Guilford, NC list daughters Eliza and Martha. There is NO proof that the James married to Nancy had daughters Eliza or Martha. Those two daughters and his wife when listed as Rebecca are INCORRECT. It would be easy to make these mistakes without seeing the admin for the James who died in 1838.

We know that this James married to a Nancy as per census records, had a d. Mary "Polly" who married a James Clark. They had a son J. Winfield Clark who is listed as being born in Guilford Co., NC on his death certificate. This suggests that James married to Nancy might also have been from Guilford Co., NC.

It is a complete theory that this James is the son of John Johnstone Calhoun by his age and likely place of birth.

James married Nancy WILLIAMS. Nancy was born about 1794 in North Carolina; died after 1860 in Putnam County, Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation: 4

James CALHOON, Jr. (1810 census - one over 45) was born before 1758 in , Lunenburg, VA (son of James CALHOON and Jean \ Jinette JOHNSTON); died about 1811 in , Guilford County, North Carolina, USA.

Notes:

James Jr. received 300 acres of an original land grant in Oct. of 1783 in Guilford Co., NC. He had applied to receive a parcel of vacant land in July of 1779. It basically took over 4 years to be granted some. It was described as land on both sides of Troublesome Creek.This James has another male in his household in 1790 over age 16. I suggest this was his theorized brother Hugh who was born abt. 1767. Their father still had one son living at home in 1790 whom I believe to be John Johnston Calhoun who was over age 16. I suspect that is why his father gave him the home he was living in as he was caring for the farm and his mother already in 1795 when he was ill and passing from this life.Brother John never bought more land and sold at least some of it to his brother Samuel in 1797. Since he did not sell land to brother, James, it also indicates he was not the brother living with this James in the 1790 census.
