• Notes

  William purchased 335 acres of land on Reed Creek in Augusta Co., Virginia in 1748 along with his father and brother Patrick in around the same time period. vol25no10pp147_155_462179.pdf This part of Augusta Co., Virginia later became part of Wythe Co., Virginia. According to "Colonial Families of America," he was a Justice of the Peace in South Carolina. His son Joseph was a congressman in 1807 among other distinguished accomplishments. He shares 3 mutations with descendants of the following group of YDNA testers suggesting they are all likely related with the same line of descent. Cousins that match his points at DYS576, DYS534 and DYS 446 are descendants of a William Calhoun 1795-1889, Peter Calhoun, b 1782 in Pa and died in Unionville, Center Co., Pennsylania and a Robert Colhoun/Coquhoun of Ballylennon, St. Johnston, Co.., Donegal, Ireland. https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/calhoun/dna-results They would have similar YDNA to what our James Calhoun married to Else Tharp has.
