Re: John Ewing CALHOUN OliviaWilliamsonBraddy (View posts) Posted: 5 Feb 2008 1:22PM GMT Classification: Query Surnames: Calhoun, Ewing, Falconer, Montgomery, Noble, Williamson, Colhoun I don't know if this will help you, but hope it will. I have put many CALHOUN names together, if you're interested in see the lineage. You may contact me directly. Olivia Williamson Braddy owbraddy@pineland.net Notable Southern Families, Volumes I & II After Robert, came Sir Humphrey (which of course is a revival of Umphredies) and after him was John. A second Sir John was followed by several James and Patricks, one following the other, one of whom obtained an estate near Glasgow. Then came Sir James who married Mary Falconer. They had among other children Patrick Calhoun, and he had a son, James Calhoun, who is the Founder of the Family in America. "In 1733 James Calhoun emigrated from the County of Donegal, Ireland, with his wife, Catherine Montgomery. They brought over with them four sons, and one daughter, James, Ezekial, William and Patrick and Catherine. Catherine was married to a Mr. Noble, who left two sons, Alexander and James Noble. The former was the father of the late Governor Noble. They were overtaken by the Indians about a mile below Patterson's Brigade on Long Cane, and after a desperate engagement, a large portion of the settlers were killed, among them James Calhoun, the eldest son. The father of James, the emigrant, was Patrick Calhoun, whose father was James, and so on alternating with these two names for several generations." (From the Memoirs of John Ewing Calhoun.) The encounter with the Indians on Long Cane, Granville County, took place February 1, 1760, as they were preparing to move for safety to Augusta. Twenty-three members of the little party, including Mrs. James Calhoun, (Catherine Montgomery), and her son, James, were massacred. Patrick Calhoun, one of the surviving Calhoun brothers erected stones to mark the site of this massacre, upon one of which appears the following inscription: "Pat K. Calhoun, Esq., In Memory of Mrs. Catherine Calhoun Aged 76 years Who With 22 Others Was Here Murdered By The Indians The First of Feb. 1760" James Calhoun, the Emigrant, who was born in Ireland about 1680, had evidently died some years before the Massacre. His wife, Catherine Montgomery Calhoun, who was seventy-six years old in 1760 was born in Ireland in 1684. ___________________________________________ Letter from Reba Calhoun Williamson, of Jacksonville, NC, to Benjamin Stewart Calhoun, of GA, (my great-grandfather), dated September 12, 1949: "Genealogists and historians have given the children of Patrick and Catherine Calhoun to James and Catherine Montgomery Calhoun. However, we have discovered papers in the Historical Commission in Columbia, SC, which prove that James and his Catherine Calhoun were living in 1762 and 1763. They got a land grant from their son John Calhoun of 200 acres of land in 1762 and same 3 made a memorial tax return in 1763 on the same land. We know for a positive fact that the grandfather of the statesman, John C. Calhoun had died about 1752 in Lancaster Co., PA, and his wife Catherine Calhoun had been killed in 1760 in the Long Cane Creek Indian Massacre; and her son Patrick and the father of John C. Calhoun put a tombstone or marker to her grave. I suppose the mistake was made because their children had so many of them the same names and both wives were named Catherine." He joined Captain Charles Drayton's Company of Militia for Revolutionary Service and he signed his name to the roll of that Company "John Ewing Colhoun" and continued so to write his name until his death as his descendants did after him.
