I have mentioned the close connections of Georgetown people from the Poe angle – Special People of Georgetown. I am always amazed and somewhat amused. This maze of names focusing on the Calhoon connections is also interesting. Follow closely.
Capt Joseph MC Calhoon was the brother of Capts John, James Hutchinson, Richard, George Goshorn and Thomas Dawson; Joseph MC’s sister Mary Jane married Capt Jackman T Stockdale. Capt Thomas S Calhoon was the son of John Calhoon and a nephew of Capt Jackman T Stockdale. Joseph MC Calhoon married Parthenia Parr. James Wilkins, the clerk of the str Washington City, married Myrtilla Parr, sister of Parthenia Parr. Capt George W Ebert half brother of Parthenia Parr, married Nancy Ann Poe, the sister of Capt Jacob Poe. Capt Jacob Poe married Mary Ann Ebert, half sister of Parthenia Parr. Capt George Goshorn Calhoon married Sarah Poe, the sister of Capt Jacob Poe and Nancy Ann (Poe) Ebert. Elizabeth Calhoon, niece of Joseph MC Calhoon and daughter of Capt James Hutchison Calhoon, married Capt Andrew Hague Parr, brother of Parthenia Parr.
Calhoon, Ebert, Parr, Poe, Stockdale, and Wilkins were hopelessly entangled with the river and each other. With more effort Dawsons, Laughlins, Mackalls, and Potts can also be included in the puzzle. Nearly everybody in the town was related by blood or marriage.
