General Notes: Husband - Dr. Calhoon


He was of Scotch-Irish descent, born east of the mountains in Pennsylvania, and at the age of seventeen years teamed to Pittsburgh. In the latter part of the eighteenth century, after the Revolution, in which he was a soldier and fought many battles, he settled in Mifflin township. His patent, known as the Calhoon & Shier patent, for three hundred acres of land, was granted in 1803. At the beginning of the War of 1812, at the age of sixty years, being yet a strong, active man, he shouldered his musket and marched out with the troops to Gen. Harrison's headquarters, but the general ordered him to Pittsburgh, where he was placed in command of the fort. He died, aged eighty years, a strict United Presbyterian.
