Thanks for offering to respond online. (It is most generous.)
Question 1: Does Orval's book contain source citations? Do you have source citations in your private archives?
My mission: For 30 years I have tried to research the sources that produced the legend of "Gloud/Glad/Cloud/Thaddeus Calhoun" (shown in Orval's Vol. 1, 3 and 4).
The legend may have come from Beaver Co. PA histories: Johnston Calhoun the supposed (but unproven) descendant of Gloud/Glad Thaddeus Colquohoun of Ireland. This legend has been published and republished for decades in Beaver County biographies, but none have offered any proof.
I am desperately looking for possible sources to document this old legend for a new published version of Johnston Calhoun, of Beaver Co., PA.
