The records indicate where all of his children settled except Annie, all but two of the settled in South West Old Virginia. James Calhoun migrated to Obion County Tenn. On Sept 20, 1810 James Calhoun of Obion County TN deeded 150 acres of land to his brother Mark Calhoun, this deed recorded in book 5 page 356 Wythe County VA. This would show James to be in Obion County TN on this date.

William Jr "brother to James" after the revolution also settled in Obion Co TN or Fulton Co KY, recorded in Revolutionary War Pensions, National Genealogical Society" as claim # S-2113.
