Jerry, Thanks for helping with the research regarding the Calhouns. Very interesting. Did the information have a reference? Paragraph 6 was in regard to John Caldwell Calhoun being the son of William Caldwell (son of Cub Creek John Caldwell) Would really appreciate knowing what the reference/references were.

Thanks again!

: 3. William Calhoun (1.James1) b. ca. 1718, Donegal Co.,
: Ireland, m. 18 Oct 1749, in Abbeville Dist., SC, Agnes
: Long, (daughter of Joseph Long and Ann). He was in the
: Massacre of the Indians at Long Creek, SC, and lost
: one child and 2 of his daughters were captured by the
: Indians and held in captivity for many years. He was
: Justice of the Peace for Granville County and later
: for Ninety-Six District, SC under the Provisional
: Government. Agnes: Long is a common English name and
: families of le Long came to Ireland very soon after
: the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1172. Longs settled in
: Ireland from time to time since then, the great
: majority of Irish Longs are not of planter stock, but
: descendants of one of several Gaelic-Irish septs.
: First there was Ó Longaigh, for which Long is the only
: anglicized form extant, the earlier O'Longy is
: obsolete. The O'Longs of Cannaway were a considerable
: sept in Co. Cork, holding lands from the see of Cork
: including Garrane I Long in the parish of Moviddy.
: They lost their properties in the upheavals of the
: seventeenth century, but remained in their homeland in
: a reduced position and have been numerous in Co. Cork
: and other parts of up to now. The Longs of Killoran,
: who acquired the Everard estate there and assumed that
: name, though remaining Papists, lost it later through
: the machinations of the Dublin banker, Alderman
: Dawson.

: The Dawson family of Ulster came to Ireland at the time
: of the Elizabethan wars and settled in Co. Monaghan
: becoming barons of Cremorne and Dartrey. Another
: Dawson family acquired large estates around
: Portarlington; and a third got possession of the Glen
: of Aherlow in Co. Tipperary from where the the name
: Dawson's Table in connexion with the mountain Galtee
: More. Another patronymic for which Long has been used
: as the anglicized equivalent is Ó Longáin which is
: properly made Longan or Langan in English. This is the
: name of two distinct septs: the Langans of Co. Mayo,
: where that name is mainly found today, are said to be
: a branch of the Ulster sept of Co. Armagh, now rare in
: its original habitat but several times mentioned in
: the Register of John Swayne, Archbishop of Armagh
: (1418-1439); the family of Ó Longón, who were erenaghs
: of Ardpatrick, Co. Limerick, and Patrician stewards of
: Munster (one of whom was Bishop of Cloyne in the
: thirteenth century), are now called Long, but in the
: eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the O'Longan
: family of Co. Cork were well known as scribes and
: poets, the most notable of them being Michael O'Longan
: (c. 1765-1837), the poet of the United Irishmen. His
: father was Michael O'Longan (d. 1770) of the well
: known Croom poetic circle, and his sons Peter, Paul
: and Joseph were all engaged as Irish scribes.

: One other surname remaines to be noted in connexion with
: Long, Fodha. This is simply the Irish word fada,
: meaning long or tall, written phonetically; it occured
: in the modern Co. Waterford birth registrations and is
: a surname of the adjectival type like Bane, Crone,
: Lawder, etc., where an epithet has superseded a
: regular Mac or 0 name.
