About Samuel Colhoun
Samuel was born in 1692. He was the son of William Colhoun and Alice Cunningham.[1] He passed away in 1749.
In Worcester, Massachusetts, he is mentioned as being a cousin to James and John Hamilton,[2][3] as James' executor of his will.
Samuel's parents were William Calhoon (b abt 1664 in Strabane, Tyrone, Ireland) and Alice Cunningham (dates & locations unknown).
Samuel Colhoun, born in 1692, migrated to Massachusetts with wife and first child:
- John born 1714 between 1714 and 1722. They appear to have settled in Shrewsbury, where their later children were born:
- James (1722),
- Alexander (1724),
- Samuel Jr. (1726,
- William (1728), and
- Mary (1736).
The family evidently moved to Petersham, Massachusetts after Mary was born. James bought land in Petersham in 1759 (recorded in 1766).

- "William Colhoun and his wife Alice Cunningham (?) had eleven children born in Strabane, Ireland, between 1690 + 1710. Several migrated to America, among them Samuel, born in 1692, who migrated to Massachusetts with wife and first child John born 1714 between 1714 and 1722. They appear to have settled in Shrewsbury, where their later children were born: James (1722), Alexander (1724), Samuel Jr. (1726, William (1728), and Mary (1736). " The family evidently moved to Petersham, Massachusetts after Mary was born. James bought land in Petersham in 1759 (recorded in 1766). From subsequent deeds, he evidently died in 1785 or 1786. Subsequent land transfers involving his widow, Elizabeth Crowl Colhoon, indicate that James and Elizabeth had at least three sons: James, John, and Gard(I)ner. Later records in New York indicate a younger son, Joel (https://www.ancestry.com/boards/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=41&p=surnames...)
