I began my recent posting about Patrick Colhoun, Catherine Montgomery’s husband and immigrant progenitor of the Calhoun family that settled in the Long Cane region of South Carolina in February 1756, by stating that not a great deal is known with certainty about Patrick. In that posting, I tried to pinpoint what is known with certainty, and to sort fact from the abundant fiction that has passed down in accounts of the early days of this family in America, including the claim that his name was James or James Patrick, when it was, in fact, plain Patrick.
