Notes on Settlement:
Andrew Calhoon was born in Pennsylvania October 5, 1777. In the first settlement of the country he and his father, Samuel Calhoon, came to Jackson township, now Mahoning county, bought them land and made preparations for the arrival of the mother, Nancy Calhoon, and Samuel and Matthew, and their ten sisters. Their only neighbors were wild animals. Their greatest drawback was the heavy timber which occupied the soil, but the soil when exposed to the sun produced abundantly and there was no danger of starvation. But the wheat and corn had to be taken many miles away during the first years of the settlement of the country in order to be ground for food. In a few years, however, neighbors began to come in, fields expanded, and the log cabins gave place to more commodious dwellings. Andrew Calhoun married Elizabeth, daughter of James Marshall, of Weathersfield, Trumbull county. She was then eighteen years of age. The result of this marriage was twelve children, namely; Isaac, Nancy, Lydia, David, Elizabeth, Matilda, Andrew, Samuel, James, Malissa, Belinda, and one that died in infancy. All of those named lived to maturity, although Nancy and Lydia are now deceased. Andrew Calhoun died October 5, 1833. His wife lived a widow something over forty years and died December 28, 1873.
