I’ve just added a number of paragraphs to my previous posting about Rebecca (Noble), Catherine (Hunter), and Joseph Pickens, children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun. This information has to do with Catherine and her husband Dr. John Hunter.

Children of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jean/Jane Ewing: Ezekiel Colhoun and Jane Calhoun Stedman
In a previous posting, I discussed the difficulties I encounter as I try to pinpoint when the last three children of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jean/Jane Ewing were born. As I note in that posting and previous ones linked in that same posting, I am confident that Ezekiel’s will names his sons and daughters – in separate lists, sons in one list, daughters in another – by order of birth. Ezekiel’s son Ezekiel is named following Patrick and would have been Ezekiel Calhoun’s last son, and Jean/Jane is named after her sister Catherine and would have been Ezekiel Calhoun’s last daughter.

John E. Colhoun’s Birth and Early Life
John Ewing Colhoun, son of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jean or Jane Ewing, was born in 1749 or 1752. His tombstone in his Keowee Heights family cemetery now located on land owned by Clemson University’s Experimental Forest gives the 1752 birthdate: the inscription on the tombstone (which will be given in full later in my posting(s) about John), reads,[1]
He was born in the year 1752 and died on the 26th of October 1802.
Children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun: Margaret (Bowie) and Andrew
Or, Subtitled: “I am most mortified that you did not write to Colonel Pickens, do write to him”
This post continues a discussion that began with this previous posting of the children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun of Abbeville County and Pendleton District, South Carolina. The posting I’ve just linked discusses Andrew and Rebecca’s first six children Mary, Ezekiel, Ann, a son who died in infancy, and two daughters named Jane.

In this posting and a subsequent one, I will share information about the children of Andrew Pickens (1739-1817) and Rebecca Calhoun (1745-1814) of Abbeville County and Pendleton District, South Carolina. This posting will discuss Andrew and Rebecca’s first six children Mary, Ezekiel, Ann, an unnamed son who died in infancy, and Jane, a name given to two daughters in a row after the first Jane died in infancy.
John Green (1768-1837): Some Notes on His Yet-to-Be Proven Ancestry
Or, Subtitled: Making Lemonade with No Lemons — Trying to Do Genealogy in Absence of Records You Need
Beginning with this linked posting in early September 2023, I’ve been tracking a Green family line from my earliest proven ancestor in this line, John Green, who was born 21 January 1768 in Granville (later Abbeville) County, South Carolina, and who died 18 March 1837 in Bibb County, Alabama. I’ve followed this family from John Green through his children by wife Jane Kerr, up to George Sidney Green, their last child, whose family I discussed in my last two postings. Prior to that time, I had also made a number of postings focusing specifically on John and Jane’s son Samuel Kerr Green, my 3-g-grandfather, and Samuel’s son Ezekiel Samuel Green, my 2-g-grandfather.
John Green (1768-1837): Pendleton District, South Carolina Records, 1800-1818
Or, Subtitled: “He left Pendleton for the Alabama a week before John E. got up and expects to return in about two months”
1800-1810
As my last posting tells you as it examines Pendleton District, South Carolina, records for John Green from the 1790 federal census, which suggests that he and wife Jane were living on and managing the Keowee Heights plantation of her uncle John Ewing Colhoun, to 21 December 1798, when he had a plat for 500 acres east of the Keowee in addition to the 838 acres he acquired in 1793, there were a number of men named John Green living in Pendleton District or found in its records in the 1790s. The 1800 federal census for Pendleton District presents us with yet another challenge of sorting John Greens.
