In compliance with the request of a
C6nstit,aion reporter, Mr.. Patrick Cal
houn, of this city, has kindly furnished
the following interesting genealogical.
particulars concerning the defendants Of
the lamented John G. Calhoun, his
grandfather. At his death the great
Carolinian left seven children-fiye sons
and two daughters. Their names were:
Andrew Pickens, John @. Patrick, James
Edward, William Lowndes, Anna and
Cornelia Calhoun. ::
All are dead. Cornelia, Patrick and
James Calhoun died unmarried. Anna,

stead of her father. -.
Andrew Pickens, Calhoun the eldest
son, died in March, 1865, in his home at
Fort Hill, leaving q family Of exactly
the same number of his father's-seven.
These grandchildren of John @. Calhoun,
with two or three exceptions, bare the
same names as his own children. Their
names were Duff Green, John c., An:
drew Pickens, james Edward, Patrick,
Marguerite and Lucretia Calhoun.
Strange as it may seem, there were FIVE
sons and two daughters in the Immediate
family of the great statesman and five
sons and two daughters in the family of
his eldest son. Owing to the broken up
condition of affairs in South Carolina.
lust after the war, these five grandsons Of
the great man determined to seek their
fortuhes in the West.
Duff Green Calhoun went to Texas,
and at first located near Bonham. At
the time of his desth he was engaged in
planting and practicing law. He left
one child, son, Andrew Pickens, who
resides with his mother in Paris, Texas.
:; John G. Calhoun, is married and lives
in Chicot county, Arkansas. He is q
large and successful planter-cultivating
magnificent plantation on the Missis-
sippi river. He has one clild, james
Edward. Andrew Pickens Calhoun
located in Louisiana, and at the time of
his death was successful planter and
contractor.

John Calhoun in Arkansas where he
died.
Duff Green, james Edward and An
drew Pickens-mentioned above-all
fell victims to the same disease-mala-
rial fever.
Patrick Calhoun, the youngest son, To-
Gated in st. Louis where he engaged in
the practice of law for two years. But
the Climate did not agree with him, and
on account of filling health he decided
to come South. The lamented Col. Rob-
ert Alston, having heard of his intention,
wrote and told him to come to Atlanta
and enter into law partnership with
him. Before accepting Col. Alston's offer
Mr.. Calhoun came to Atlanta on q tour
of inspection and was so we'll pleased
with the place that on the 9Th of July,
1878, he made it his home. The repor-
ter is responsible for the statement that
MIR. Patrick Calhoun is one of the most
promising and popular young men at
this or any other bar in the South. Miss
Marguerite Calhoun, his eldest and only
living sister, resides with Mr.. Patrick
Calhoun, and his mother, Mrs. NJ.
M. Calhoun, at his home near Edge
wood. Miss Lucretia Calhoun died in
early childhood. This disposes of the
children of the eldest son of the great
John @. Calhoun.
We now come TO the second son, DR..
John @. Calhoun, who lived and died in
Florida. He left two children-both
sons. The one named for his father.
John G. Calhoun, graduated with. the
first honor at the University ofNashville.
BE is a civil. engineer, is married and
lives in st. Louis. The other son.. Ben
iamin Putnam Calhoun, is q young law
yer of fine ability and great promise
he has one child, Edward Noble. He
is practicing law in Jacksonville, Fla,
having formed a partnership there with
MIR. William cartridge, brother of. the
lamented Julian Hartridge, of Savannah.
William Lowndes Calhoun left two
sons, one of whom, William Lownes,
first cousin to Mr.. Patrick Calhoun, has
recently moved to Atlanta from Flori-
da. He is now rising young lawyer
of this city. From the above it will be
seen that only sixsgrand-children of the
great John 6. Calhoun are now living.
Three of these-Mr. Patrick Calhoun,
Mr.. William Lowndes Calhoun and
Miss Marguerite Calhoun live in. Allan
ta. Of the others, one lives in Arkansas,
one in st. Louis, and, one in jack
sonville.
The one living in Arkansas is the only
living brother Of Mr.. Patrick Calhoun of
this CITY. All the South Carolina Cal
houns we're related. Four brothers, one
ofthem being the grandfather of the great
statesman, settledin South Carolina about
: the same time. They were the only
Calhouns who ever went to South Caro-
lima, and therefore all their defendants
are in some way related.
In short time the reporter will pub
lish a number of interesting incidents
concerning the Calhouns of South Caro-
lima. He thanks Mr.. Patrick Calhoun
for the above facts, which are now pre-
sented to the public for the first time.
It also appears that the great man has
four living great grandchildren, to wit:
Andrew Pickens, of Texas, James Ed
ward, of Arkansas, Edward Noble, Of
Florida, and Isabella Lee, ofNew York.
