Establishing Catherine’s Birthdate
As a previous posting notes, the will that Catherine Calhoun’s father Ezekiel Calhoun made on 3 September 1759 in Granville (later Abbeville) County, South Carolina, appears to name his sons and daughters by their order of birth, with the sons listed separately from the daughters.[1] Ezekiel’s will lists Catherine after her sisters Mary and Rebecca. Rebecca’s date of birth, 18 November 1745, appears on her tombstone in Old Stone Church cemetery at Clemson in Pickens County, South Carolina.[2] The next child in the family of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jean or Jane Ewing is thought to have been their son John Ewing Colhoun, who was born in either 1749 or 1752, as we’ve seen.
i have seen blogs with detailed history of Lindsey family and Lindsey cemetery at Oakville in Lawrence co Al. I also saw a tag to Elijah McDaniel. Could I discuss the McDaniel 1st settlers in the southern district at Oakville? I descend from Lawrence co Al great grandparents John William and Martha E McDaniel Preuit. Her father Patton Anderson McDaniel is my 2ND great grandfather. McDaniels in Lawrence co have been difficult to trace. Walter F McDaniel died June 1 1819 Lawrence co at age 64 years and mentions Patton above in his will. Elijah owned the McDaniel grist mill on flint creek at Morgan/law co line. It was constructed in Sept 1818 by Court minutes. Martha McMurray 256-341-8209. marthamcmurray2@gmail.com.
