As I continue to add material to previous postings here after my recent research trip to the Special Collections and Archives of Clemson University’s Library, I have added an interesting new document to a previous posting discussing Floride Bonneau, wife of John Ewing Colhoun. When I first published the posting I’ve just linked, I included in it a digital image of a portrait of Floride regarding whose provenance and present whereabouts I had a number of clues that I had been unable to verify. I thought that the portrait is in the holdings of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, but had not been able to verify that information when I made my posting including an image of this portrait.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for your comment. I have not seen any bona fide document that gives Floride Bonneau Colhoun a middle name. The way I distinguish this Floride from her daughter is to note that the daughter, Floride Bonneau Colhoun, had the married name of Calhoun — Floride Bonneau Colhoun Calhoun. If you find a document showing either Floride with a given name in addition to Floride, I’d be interested in knowing about it.

Floride Rebecca Bonneau Colhoun is the name for the matriarch of the Floride namesakes.
She was born in 1770 and married John E. Colhoun, Statesman from Charleston, SC in 1790.
She is the mother of Floride Colhoun Calhoun, whom your request was made. This is the Floride that married John C. Calhoun and was the Second Lady for the United States two separate times.
