Donegal County, Ireland, March 27, 1764. The Colhouns of the north of Ireland were descended from the Colqu- houns of Ayer, Argyle Co., Scotland. Being Non- conformists or Presbyterians, many of them, leaving considerable possessions, removed to the north of Ireland, where they hoped to enjoy a religious freedom which was denied them in their native land. In 1790, Andrew Colhoun emigrated to Boston, and, adopting the orthog- raphy prevailing in this country, he subsequently wrote the name Calhoun. He md. in March, 1795, Martha Chamberlain, of Chelmsford, Mass., who was b. Feb. 20, 1770. Until his removal to Rindge he was engaged in mercantile pursuits, in which he was reasonably success- ful.

CARLTON.
In the early history of the town, families of Carlton were numerous. William, Benjamin, and James settled here previous to the Revolution, and left a numerous progeny; but none of their descendants in the male line have resided in this town for many years, and the name has become extinct. George Carlton, a resident of Rindge, was killed at the battle of Bunker Hill. It is not known that he was md., nor has the kinship existing between the early settlers of this name been ascertained.
1 WILLIAM CARLTON settled in Rindge 1758. His house was on the site or near the dwelling-house of Charles A. Wilder. He was a farmer, an innholder, selectman 1768 and 1771. He was in Capt. Hale's company April, 1775, and in Col. Enoch Hale's regiment, which marched to Rhode Island 1778. Upon the records for 1773 is recorded : "William Carlton's marks of his Neat Cattle and Sheep is a Swallow Tale in the end of the right car." He md. Nov. 10, 1760, Eunice Laws. He d. 1808, and his widow 1812.

1 BARNABAS CARY was a blacksmith who removed from Attleborough, Mass., 1768. Mr. Cary d. 1795, aged 76, and his wife Mary d. Feb. 14, 1780, aged 55. The names and births of his children are given with approximate accuracy, although it would appear from an old rhyme, well remembered by many of the aged people in this town, that the name of one child was omitted. The distraught poet probably introduced the name of an imaginary indi- vidual for euphonic effect. Poetic license has a wide range. The children were said to be :-
" Bumlick and Sary, Margret and Mary, Barnabas and Lazarus, And little Johnny Cary."
The record, however, is more extended.

He resided where Reuben Buzzell now lives. He was married and had a large family, but no record has been secured. Among his children were Clarissa, Isaac, Hiram, and William. The latter has been an extensive manufacturer in Medway, Mass., and many years a member of the Legislature.

He was admitted freeman 1642, and d. 1660. His sons, John, Joseph, Thomas, and Jonathan, were b. between 1642 and 1652.
