Les sent me an e mail about what I wrote in the last newsletter:
"Hi Tom
I received your E'mail of the death Lady Kathleen and Stephen L. Calhoun from Skeets. I already knew about Lady Kathleen's death from the Calhoun Society of U. K.
The main reason for this E'mail is to correct misconception which I believe may have been started by of S. L. C. [Steven Lance Calhoun] in the manuscript he supplied to Orval Calhoun and published in Volume 3 of his book. S. L. C. lineage was from William Cahoon (abt1702-1774) of Delaware. There is no documentation that connects this William with the Mass. Cahoons and the first William Cahoone (abt 1633-1675) of Mass. although most researchers believe these Delaware Cahoons did migrate from Mass. Documented brothers of William Cahoon of Delaware were Marmaduke, Samuel, and Thomas. Among the known grandsons of William Cahoone (abt1633-1675) there is no Marmasduke or Thomas. We may be descendants of William Cahoone but as serious genealogists we should not state that as a fact.
There are many errors in the draft which S.L.C. provided to Orval and it appears that Orval added many to that which was published.
Les Cahoon"
