• Notes

  He would account for the John Calhoon in the 1830 census of Guilford, between the ages of 50 and 59. The only other census he appears to be in is as a son over age 16 in the 1790 census. This is true unless James and Jean had another unaccounted for son who died before 1795 and is not in their wills. There is a possibility of this as there is a male living with eldest son James in the 1790 census born before 1774 that could account for this John instead. He received land from his father in his 1795 will. This indicates he was at least 21 at the time. John sold at least some of this property to brother Samuel in 1797. John again was named in his mother's will in 1804 which was proved in 1805. These are all the records he has been found in in Guilford, NC. It is likely if his wife is Betty Forresten that he was married before and possibly lived elsewhere between 1805 and 1811 when he married Betty is 1811.
