• Notes

  He is often listed as the son of James and Catherine Montgomery Calhoun instead. If so, his wife with the surname of Long died in the 1760 Cherokee Indian Uprising when 150 settlers were trying to get out of harms way by moving to Augus, VA. He is also attributed to the the same James who died in Lancaster, PA and married a 2nd time in 1766 at about age 70 to Elizabeth Wilson. He is supposedly in Probate records for Lancaster Co., PA in 1772. C 1 137 There are no DNA descendants of this James Calhoun on Gedmatch as of 3/24/2018 to help us determine if he is our ancestor. The first son I have attributed to him is buried in the same cemetery a he is, thus the theory that he is his son. It is possible that he is the father of our James Calhoun m. to Jean Jeannette. My Mom does have triangulations with his parents. The only proven sons of Rev. Alex. are William (who left no issue according to his will), this James (not James Patrick as proven by Big Y-DNA) and Alexander. Rev. Alexander did not have a son named Andrew according to YDNA evidence. If he had a son Humphrey, his only son Humphrey died without issue, eliminating him as a possible father. Alexander's grandson James is theorized to be the father of our James in some trees, but he died in 1816, not in 1795 in Guilford, NC. Our James left a will in 1795 naming the son we descend through. I have to study the possibility that Rev. Alex. had a son Audley who could be his father instead. Adam seems to have ruled out as his son by Big Y DNA evidence. Andrew, James Patrick, and Hugh have been disproven as far as being Rev. Alexanders sons by BigY DNA and therefore are not the brothers of this James. The only proven sons of Rev.
