Brian:
Archibald Colquhoun and his wife belonged to Bluff Presbyterian Church located on a high ridge (known as "The Bluff") over a curve of the Cape Fear River northeast of the current city of Fayetteville in North Carolina.The records of that church were carefully collected and published by Rev. James Donald Mackenzie in 1969 in a book titled "Colorful Heritage an Informal History of Barbecue and Bluff Presbyterian Churches".The information and additional records collected from Barbecue, Bluff and Longstreet Presbyterian Churches were published in 1989 by Harnett County Library.I do my best to keep these records republished from time to time by recommending to every Colquhoun, Calhoun, Graham, Sullivan, Stewart, Black, McColl, and other names that I know to be related to our Calhouns to check it out.All the women were listed by maiden name, so it is a very good resource. The following is the barest rendition of Archibald's family line as I published it on the Clan Colquhoun Society of North America's website. I do have additional information on these lines, and if you will let me know which you are interested in, maybe I can fill in some gaps for you. Dee
Archibald COLQUHOUN was born between 1755 and 1764, probably in Scotland.His wife, Isabelle (Isbella or Isbel) Colquhoun, was also probably born in Scotland between 1755 and 1774 (birth years calculated from the censuses of Cumberland and Sampson Counties, NC).According to the spoken history of the family, Archibald was married to Mary MacCorquodale, who accompanied him to GA and died there in 1850 at the age of 86.If the oral history is correct, although no record of her death has been found in NC we must presume a date of death for Isabella Colquhoun before 1830, for she is not the same person as Mary MacCorquodale.The couple settled just north of the Black Fork of Bluff River, in 1794 and as the centerline of the Black Fork was the boundary between Cumberland and Sampson Counties, subsequent records of their family, including federal census records, are found in Sampson County, NC.Archibald and Isabelle were members of the Bluff Presbyterian Church, and four of their children were baptized there.In the book "Barbecue, Bluff and Longstreet Presbyterian Churches, a Colorful HistoryDocumented" wives are identified by their maiden name; Isabella Colquhoun’s first name was spelled variously, but her last name was always recorded as Colquhoun.
Archibald was a judge or a justice of the peace in NC.He was addressed as Esq. in several public records, and the records of Bluff Presbyterian Church include a session where Archibald reported that a woman sought a peace bond from him because her husband was abusive.He declined to grant a peace bond, but brought the matter before the Church session, because the couple were both members of the Church.The Church bodyappointed investigators and summoned the man to appear before the Church board.Subsequent session minutes indicate the man did not appear as ordered, and the matter was dropped.Archibald could read and write English, and all documents executed by him were signed with a scripted signature.Although he may have helped others work out their disputes, of interest is the Church record of a dispute where having confessed of provoking language and striking one another, Archibald and Malcolm Colquhoun and Malcolm McCorquodale were all admonished.
Archibald and Isabel Colquhoun Colquhoun had at least 10 children, possibly 11.The names of only 8 are documented in the public records out of NC, AL and GA. The spoken history of the family states the first child was a daughter named Mary, born in Scotland.Accordingly, she is presumed to be one of the two daughters shown in the 1790 census of Cumberland Co. with Archibald Colquhoun, head of family.The name of the second daughter born before the census is unknown.In the 1800 Census of Sampson Co., Archibald Colquhoun (called Colquehcame in the census index), himself 26-45, his wife 26-45, is shown with children consisting of 2 boys under 10, 3 girls under 10, and 1 girl 10-16.The older girl is presumed to be Mary, from the previous census. Children Duncan, Isabel and Alexander are documented in the baptismal records out of Bluff Presbyterian Church as born before the census cutoff date (in Alexander’s case, by weeks), and can be placed as 2 boys and 1 girl under 10. One of the 2 daughters under 10 in 1800 is surely Rachael. The other daughter presumably died young; she was not included in the heirs of Archibald who executed deeds disposing of real property owned by the family in 1847.If Rachael were born in 1790, she might have shown up on both censuses. If so, the family had 10 children, but if not, then another daughter who would have been between 10-16 in 1800 might have also died young, and the family would have had 11 children.
Archibald moved his family to GA around 1830, and the books "A Rockaway in Talbot" by William H. Davidson, also contains some documentation of the family.Archibald Colquhoun died 9/15/1839 in Talbot Co., GA, and was buried in the Colquhoun-Patterson Cemetery in Box Springs, Talbot Co., GA.His grave was unmarked until 1942, when a stone was placed at the time his son’s grave bearing the date of his death and the years he was in North Carolina. From the publications referenced above, as well as the genealogies compiled by Thomas Dorrough, Jr. (“Descendants of Archibald Colquhoun Compiled by Thomas A. Dorrough, Jr.”), Annie May Patterson and Edwin Crawford Calhoun (“Archibald Calhoun and Descendants by Edwin Crawford Calhoun in Collaboration with Annie May Patterson”), and Fred Hamilton (“The Descendants of Archibald Colquhoun Compiled by Fred Hamilton 2000”), this short history of family of Archibald’s line has been compiled.Details of the children of Archibald and Isabel Colquhoun and their families follow.
1-Mary COLQUHOUN, daughter of Archibald Colquhoun, born before 1790, died before 1870 in Claiborne Par., LA.She married John SULLIVAN in NC about 1812. He was born 1790 in NC. The couple are listed in the 1840 and 1850 census out of Coosa Co., AL and 1860 census out of Claiborne Parish, LA.[Note, there seems to be no explanation as to why John Sullivan alone executed the deed of the land out of Archibald Colquhoun’s Sampson Co. holdings in 1847 if she were still alive at the time].They had at least 9 children: Elizabeth, Angus, Augustus, Archibald, Duncan, Isabella, Alexander, Rachel Ann and John Randolph Sullivan. Details of the children and their families follow:
Elizabeth Sullivan born 1813-17, married David Williams 11/30/1834 Talbot Co., GA; he was born about 1815 in GA. The couple moved to Coosa Co., AL after the birth of their first child.David and Elizabeth Sullivan had 11 children: Mary Ann Williams born about 1837; Elizabeth Williams born about 1838; Eliza Williams born about 1839; Joanna Williams born about 1840; William Harrison Williams born about 1841; Susan Ann Williams born about 1843; Margaret Williams born about 1845; Sophronia (Catherine) Williams born about 1847; Frances Williams born about 1849; James Williams born about 1852 and G.A. Williams born about 1854.
Angus Sullivan born 1813-17, married Mary Ann Herston 9/3/1839 in Montgomery, AL. She was born about 1818 in GA. The couple had one child: Jenna Sullivan, born about 1840.Mary Ann Herston Sullivan died before 1844 in AL. Angus then married Elizabeth Ann Calhoun 10/31/1844. She was born about 1823 in GA. They had three children, all born Coosa Co., AL: Margaret Sullivan, born about 1846; Dugald Sullivan, born about 1848, E.A. Sullivan born about 1850. Elizabeth died (perhaps in childbirth). There after, Angus married Catherine Wingard 12/6/1850 in Tallapoosa Co., AL. She was born about 1832 in SC. They had four children, all born in Tallapoosa Co., AL: Frances Sullivan born about 1852; James Sullivan born about 1854; Elizabeth Sullivan born about 1856; D.G. Sullivan born about 1859.
Augustus Sullivan born 1813-17 is presumed to be a child of John and Mary Colquhoun Sullivan. The name of his wife is unknown; they married about 1841 and by 1850 he was listed as a widower in the census. The couple had three children, all born in Tallapoosa Co., AL: Serena Jane Sullivan born about 1842; Sarah Sullivan born about 1846; John W. Sullivan born about 1847.
Archibald Sullivan born 10/20/1819 in Cumberland Co., NC and died 10/27/1898. He married Julia Antoinette Matthews 11/6/1850. She was born 9/18/1836 in Noxubee, MS, died 1/5/1913 St. George, Washington Co. UT. The couple had 13 children: Joseph John Sullivan born 5/2/1853; Archibald Sullivan born 2/8/1844; George Angus Sullivan born 12/8/1856; William Duncan Sullivan born 6/4/1859; Mary Ann Sullivan born 7/25/1861; Rhoda Elizabeth Sullivan born 8/16/1854; Thomas Alexander Sullivan born 4/6/1866; Julia Antoinette Sullivan born 3/2/1869; James Augustus Sullivan born 10/4/1871; Hyrum Matthews Sullivan born 9/2/1873; Ether Carrol Sullivan born 4/11/1875; Charles C. Sullivan born 6/8/1879; Jessie Mahalia Sullivan born 8/27/1882.
Duncan Sullivan born about 1821. Little is known about this child. His wife was named Mary Ann Andrews, and according to family history, Duncan Sullivan died about 1848 while crossing the plains on the route west.
Isabella Sullivan born about 1824 in NC. She married Wiley Ferrell 4/7/1848 in Tallapoosa Co., AL. He was born about 1823. The couple had one child: James C. Ferrell, born 9/3/1849.
Alexander Sullivan born about 1830 in NC, married Mary Ann McCrae 11/3/1850 in Tallapoosa Co., AL. She was born 1823 in GA. The couple had 4 children, all born in Claiborne Par., LA.The names of the children are not known; only their initials appear in the census: N. Sullivan born 1852, W.A. Sullivan born 1854;M.A. Sullivan born 1856; M.A.V. Sullivan born 5/-/1860.
Rachel Ann Sullivan born about 1832, NC, married William T. Smith 1/23/1853 in Claiborne Par., LA. He was born about 1828. They had 2 children: John Tarra Sullivan born 1854; Mary Susan Sullivan born 1856.
John Randolph Sullivan born about 1834 in GA, married Emily Chandler about 1853 in LA. She was born about 1833 in GA. They had 12 children born in Claiborne Parish, LA. Note the following listing includes both Emily and Emiline, as both names were provided for this record; Emily may have been named Amelia or they may be the same individual: O.A.

Sullivan born 1856; Martha Caroline Sullivan born 1857; Charles Love Sullivan born 1858; John Wesley Sullivan born 1859; Emily Sullivan born 1860; Emiline 1862 Sullivan born; Edmond (Edwin) Sullivan born 1864; William Marion Sullivan born 5/3/1865; Laura Celma Sullivan born 1869; Clarence Hubbard Sullivan born 1871; Frank Mooty Sullivan born 1873.
2- Rachael COLQUHOUN, daughter of Archibald Colquhoun, born 1790-1795, died after 1847.Rachael certainly appears to be one of the three daughters under 10 in the 1800 census out of Sampson County. Under certain circumstances, either with the change in census reporting date or common error, she might have been the second of the two daughters in the home of Archibald Colquhoun and wife in the 1790 census of Cumberland Co.If Rachael was not born so as to place her both on the 1790 and 1800 census as under 10, then an additional daughter may have been born before 1790 who died between 1790 and 1800.She was married before May, 1847 to Archibald PETERSON.Rachael Peterson executed the deed with the other heirs of Archibald Colquhoun in May, 1847, conveying the property left in Sampson Co. NC when the family moved to GA to Henry Jackson. The deed identifies her as living in Coosa Co., AL.
3- Girl COLQUHOUN, name unknown, daughter of Archibald Colquhoun, born between 1790-1795, shown on the 1800 census, probably died before 1847. She did not execute the deed from the heirs of Archibald Colquhoun conveying the property left in Sampson Co. NC when the family moved to GA.The existence of this child is indicated by the 1790 census of Cumberland Co. showing 2 daughters in the home of Archibald Colquhoun and wife, and the 1800 Census of Sampson Co. including not only 1 girl 10-16 (presumed to be Mary, the oldest child according to the oral history of the family) but also 3 girls under 10 (presumed to be Rachael, Isabel and this daughter).
4- Duncan COLQUHOUN, son of Archibald Colquhoun, born 12/18/1795 (baptized at Bluff Presbyterian Church 1/10/1796), died in Talbot Co., GA 11/17/1851 (memorial stone says 11/11/1851), aged 54 years, 11 months.He married Sarah McNEILL 11/12/1818 in Cumberland Co., NC.Sarah was born 8/19/1800, the child of Malcolm and Mary McNeill; she died 5/19/1863 in Talbot Co., GA (according to family history and as recited in “A Rockaway in Talbot”, from injuries sustained when she was thrown from her horse while crossing a rocky creek).Both are buried in the Colquhoun-Patterson Cemetery.This family moved first to Henry Co., GA (before the 1830 census), but followed his father to Talbot Co, GA in 1835.The 1840 census out of Talbot Co. includes the family, and confirms the family was spelling the name as ‘Calhoun’ early (although in his Will, the name is spelled Colquhoun) .Duncan and Sarah McNeill Colquhoun had at least 12 children. Between 1819 and 1823, Bluff Presbyterian Church records include baptismal records of the first three children of the couple. The family bible confirms additional details of the children. Histories of each child and his or her family follows:
Archibald Calhoun born 8/19/1819 (baptized 11/28/1819 at Bluff Presbyterian Church), died 9/6/1854 in Mt.

She was the daughter of James and Agnes Curtis McMurray born 2/3/1826 in Thomasville, Thomas Co. GA, died 4/3/1887 in Union Parish, LA and is buried in Sibley, Lincoln Parish, LA. The couple had 5 children: James Duncan Calhoun born 8/7/1843; Sarah Agnes Calhoun born 1/7/1846; Frank G.

In 1860 Sarah Jane Calhoun, widow of Archibald Calhoun, deeded to H.T. Jackson her share of the property owned by Duncan Colquhoun (her father-in-law) in Sampson Co., NC when the family left the state.An unpublished biography of Jane McMurray Calhoun prepared by Ruby Bransford and Sallie Robison is on display at the State Exhibit Building in Shreveport, LA.

6- Alexander COLQUHOUN, son of Archibald Colquhoun, born 1800 (baptized at Bluff Presbyterian Church 5/4/1800); according to family history, he died of cholera, date unknown.He married Mary HOBBS 11/14/1839 in Muscogee, GA.
