Some Descendants of David McWhorter (McWhirter) (ca. 1741-1789)andhiswife Mary Poston ( P o s ten) McWhorter (1750-1846) compiledbyShelleyMcWhorter Wright (Mrs. Clifton P.) of Chatt a n o oga Tennessee.
Dr. Ernest E. Trice, in his book referred to elsewhere,pg.45,states:"Scotch-Irish immig r a t ion into the Valley of Virginia, stimulated by the new land policy, began in 1732. In that year JoistHite, a Hollander, migrated from Philadelphia with 15 families in addition to his o w n , the most being Scotch Irish. Included in the number were the ancestors of Andrew Jacks o n , J ohn C. Calhoun, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis."
Mrs. Armsrong traced the Calhoun Family back to a younger sonofKingConock of Irelan d , t h e name Conock finally becoming Calhoun.
The family first went to Pennsylvania, then to the presentWytheCounty,VA.They arriv e d a t C alhoun's Settlement in February of1756. Thesettlementwas broken up in 1760 by the I n dia ns . "They wereovertaken bytheIndians about a mile below Patterson's Brigade on LongCa n e , a ndaftera desperate engagement, a large portion of the settlerswerekilled, amongthe m J a me s Calhoun, the eldest." (Memoirs of JohnEwingCalhoun)Twenty-three members of the lit t l e pa rty, including Mrs.JamesCalhoun(Catherine Montgomery), and her son James, were massa c r ed.Patrick, oneof the surviving Calhoun brothers, erected stones tomarkthe site of them a s s acre. James Calhoun, the Emigrant, was borninIreland about 1680and had evidently die d s o m e years beforetheMassacre. His wife,Catherine, who was 76 years old in 1760, was born i n I reland in 1684.

That she was the lawful wife, and afterward relict of JamesWilson,a Revolutionary soldier , w ho died in the services of the United States, rather in that of the State of South carolina , in which state he served in the whole of the revolutionary War until the time when he fell in battle at the Cowpens, leaving your petitioner with four small children in a State of Poverty and Sufferance; having been robbed by the Tories of their only two slaves, as well as o f all other property of value.
