• Notes

  As far as DNA goes as a match of this James married to Susannah (Nancy) Long to my mother, I've had about 5 cousins to compare to. Two of them had cM matches with her at 8.5 and 7.5 respectively. James Patrick, his father's descendants and my mother have 2 other matches at 7 or 8 cM's:A092025 M.C. A855564 gulfbarnetts@gmail.com Chromosome: 7 138,188,768-144,571,031 8.5 753A092025 M.C. A790890 martha.m.taylor@gmail.com Chromosome: 20 5,595,738-8,329,467 7.5 656. He is likely the James who had 619 acres on Reed Creek being surveyed in 1749. This is the same creek on which his brothers, William and Patrick bought land. (vol25no10pp147_155_462179.pdf) This could be the land that James bought on Hays Creek off the James River. </line><line /><line>He is listed as the brother (in-law) of John Nobel in his will dated 1752 along with brothers Patrick and William Calhoun who were named his executors in Augusta or Wythe Co., VA. He and his relatives, Patrick and Hugh (son of Uncle Hugh) along with brother-in-law, Joseph Long witnessed the deed of sale of Robert and Mary (Baker) Ewing in Augusta Co., VA in 1755. Robert and Mary Ewing were then of Lunenburg Co., VA and were selling land they had received in 1749 on the Roanoke River. This is important to note, because it does mean that at least the Ewings were able to move from Augusta to Lunenburg by 1755. There had to be river routes (via the Roanke River?) or trails to get them there by 1755 where my James Calhoun, b. bef 1733 was living in 1748 at at least age 16. In that time period, it was extremely unlikely that persons moved without other family or friends also.</line><line /><line>James (son of James Patrick Calhoun) along with (his brother) John Calhoon and a William Crow put up a bond for James Buchanan, merchant of Henrico who was in a court case in Oct. 1765 in Augusta Co., Virginia. He and John are the only children of James Patrick who could account for this record. If that proves to be accurate, his wife, Nancy Susannah Long did not likely die in the 1760 massacre in Long Cane, SC unless James returned to Augusta Co., Virginia after the massacre. It was his mother instead. According to Chalkley, this was titled "Buchanan vs. Crow". Also, it is logical to assume he is not the James who died in Captain Braddock's War in 1755 either.</line><line /><line />
