It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Calhoun-561 and Calhoun-281 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. See Research Note on Calhoun-561. Same PM set up both profiles from Gedcom import. Person in Ancestry tree that matched Calhoun-561 is no longer in that tree but Calhoun-281 is. Same parents on both profiles.

If you agree that these are duplicates, please complete the merge.

Thank you.

interesting! I could be wrong, but isn't the Annals of Augusta County page referring to the John C Calhoun that was the son of Patrick Calhoun and Martha Caldwell? As I understand it, Patrick was the son of James Patrick Calhoun (this John C Calhoun's brother), the original immigrant to the US. See http://mv.ancestry.com/viewer/93581e12-0c7c-4dee-a8be-6790b2c2b607/26422540/26119699650?_phsrc=tQd8749&usePUBJs=true. There may be information I am not aware of, however.

Calhoun-561 and Calhoun-281 are not ready to be merged because: This seems to be the same person, but which birth place should be selected? Did the person die in Ireland or in Pennsylvania 10 years later? Please make the data field consistent before proposing a merge.

Calhoun-561 and Calhoun-281 appear to represent the same person because: They have the same parents and were born about the same time in Ireland. Calhoun-281, however, died 1755 in Ireland while Calhoun-561 died 1788 in Pennsylvania. Susan Shirley is listed on both profiles.
Calhoun-562 and Calhoun-281 appear to represent the same person because: These appear to be the same person. The birthdate on calhoun-562 appears to be transposed. He was born in the 1600s not 1800s. Both profiles have the same parents and siblings
Calhoun-552 and Calhoun-281 appear to represent the same person because: Parents, spouse match.

Calhoun-483 and Calhoun-281 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, same birth year. Please merge. Thanks.
