Some researcher's have concluded that John's father was Patrick McCollum of the Virginia counties of Augusta, Botetourt, and Rockbridge. This is not supported by Virginia land and personal property tax records, which imply more than one John McCollum was being taxed in different places at the same time.
Land records also show that John McCollum of Botetourt & Rockbridge was married to Agnes,not Eleanor.This John had a son, John, who married Jane McNabb in Rockbridge Co. in 1785.
The property tax records demonstrate that John of Botetourt and Rockbridge, son of Patrick, was paying taxes for some of the same years as John McCollum of Bath County, husband of Eleanor.John of Rockbridge continued to pay taxes there after John of Bath died.
