 | | CALHOUN, John Caldwell, statesman, born in Abbeville district, South Carolina, 18 March, 1782; died in Washington, District of Columbia, 31 March, 1850. |
 | | In 1770 he married Martha Caldwell, a native of Virginia, daughter of an Irish Presbyterian immigrant, whose family was devoted to the American cause, and some of whom were badly treated by the Tories. |
 | | By heredity, John Caldwell Calhoun was therefore entitled to manhood from his race, to vigorous convictions in faith, and to patriotic devotion to liberty and right. |
