• Notes

  The only immigration record anywhere that matches any Calhoun to Virginia is this John Calhoun. He arrived in Virginia in 1727. He is listed under 6 index records in that year suggesting he came with 5 family members or possibly indentured servants. The former is more likely as he was several sons from being his father's first son who could have inherited his wealth. He probably was coming to America to improve his lot in the world. He would be the correct age to have a wife and 4 children at that point in time. The original records could help us clear this up. This is one of the six indexed items for him: Accession #: and 9999419977 Gale Id: 1166491, Source publication code: and 3700, Source: and Passenger and Immigration Lists Index He has no descendants up on Gedmatch as of Mar 24, 2018. By age and place, he very much needs his historical documents and DNA descendants located to verify his relationship to others. When studying migration patterns in Virginia, the Scotch Irish in the 18th century settled in the frontier developments. This suggests it would have been southwest of the towns at the time. There were 13 main towns established in the 1600-1700's that were Jamestown, Williamsburg, Petersburg, Onancock, Dumphries, Tappahannock, Yorktown, Norfolk, Fredericksburg, Alexandria, Lynchburg, and Charlottesville. They would have likely settled further west than these towns. John's possible son, James and also an Adam Calhoun were found in Lunenburg Co., Virginia records starting in the 1740's. Lunenburg Co. was approximately 100+ miles from Williamsburg, so the frontier was literally just 100+ miles from the original settlements in Virginia starting in the early 1600's. John would have lived someplace in this southeastern part of the state most likely. The Calhouns at that time would have to have traveled by river or horseback. These are noted to give us clues about which counties to hunt for them in.
