  According to Wikipedia: "Patrick Calhoun (11 June 1727– 15 January 1796), [1]:32 was born in County Donegal, Ireland, but emigrated to Virginia with his parents in 1733, and from there the family made their way to South Carolina. According to A Compendium of Irish Biography (1878):[2] He and his family suffered severely during the war with the French and the Indians. Shortly after the peace of 1763 he was elected a member of the provincial legislature, and continued a member of that and afterwards of the state legislature (with the intermission of a single term) till his death in 1796. In the war of the Revolution he took an early, decided, and active part against the British. His son John Caldwell Calhoun (born in South Carolina in 1782, died in Washington on March 31, 1850) was Vice-President of the United States from 1825 to 1832, and held other important offices, and was undoubtedly the ablest and most uncompromising champion of slavery and the slave power in his day." Patrick had 149 acres being surveyed where he lived on Reed Creek in 1748 in Augusta Co., VA. That is the same creek where his father, James and his brother William bought land. vol25no10pp147_155_462179.pdf as provided Candee V. After Braddock's defeat in 1655, he moved to Abbeville, SC along with his family. On Aug. 19, 1765, James Buchanan and William Thompson, executors of James Patton, conveyed 322 acres of land in Augusta Co., Virginia to Patrick Calhoun then of South Carolina the land he originally lived on in Augusta Co., Virginia. On Oct. 16, 1765, Patrick Calhoun sold 610 acres of land on Reed Creek in Augusta Co., VA to Hugh Montgomery (his possible cousin through his grandmother, Catherine Montgomery).Patrick was listed as of the settlement of Long Cane Creek in Granville Co., SC in this sale of land. is the grandfather of the statesmen, John C. Calhoun. He was appointed by the Provincial Government to head a group of rangers to protect the frontier during the Revolutionary War. They had to fight both the Indians and the Tories. This Patrick is the father of the statesman John C. Calhoun, though he is not listed as the son of James and Catherine Montgomery Calhoun in "Colonial Families of the U.S.".
