The Index-Journal (Greenwood, South Carolina) · Sat, Mar 13, 1948
John Ewing Calhoun himself and his children all spelled the name Colhoun instead of Calhoun, using the o instead of an a in the first syllable. This was an acknowledgement of the Gaelic spelling of the name Colquhoun. John Ewing Colhoun is so listed in the Congressional Biographical Directory while his son-in-law and another cousin who served in Congress are listed as Calhoun.
The spelling, Calhoun, was adopted by all other members of the family and is now general.
The sketch of John Ewing Colhoun in the Congressional Directory says he removed from Charleston to Pendleton and died at his home there and that he is buried in Old Stone Churchyard Cemetery. This is an error. His name does not appear in the list of dead in the Old Stone Church Cemetery. Evidently, he is buried in the Calhoun family cemetery near Clemson.
His daughter, Mrs John C Calhoun, is buried in the Episcopal Church Cemetery in Pendleton.
