Col R W Simpson** says “Catherine Calhoun married Alexander Noble.” This was the widowed sister of the brothers settling here, but A S Salley***, in the Calhoun pamphlet, says her deceased husband, John Noble is correct. Governor Patrick Noble, of South Carolina 1848-1850 was a descendant
**Col R W Simpson: of Pendleton and an intimate friend of Thomas G Clemson, who was a son-in-law of John C Calhoun, in his History of Old Pendleton

In his book, “The Hard Labor Section”, the late Dr H T Cook, a native of the present Troy community of this section, mentions the fact that for some years after settlers began to take up land in and around Ninety Six and in the Calhoun Settlement, or “Long Canes”, some miles to the west of Ninety Six, the section in between these two settlements was, for some years, neglected. The land was regarded as thin and not so desirable as in the Ninety Six and Calhoun Settlement. The word “Long Canes” is descriptive of the tall canes or reed canes which grew so luxuriantly in the region selected by the Calhouns when they came to this area in 1756.
The Calhouns soon had neighbors. And it would appear that there were a few settlers who had come in this western area prior to the arrival of the Calhouns. In the sketch of Abbeville District (County), used in Mills’ Handbook of South Carolina, published to accompany the Atlas of South Carolina compiled by Robert Mills, there is a reference to a family named Edwards who were already located in this part of the colony.
While the Calhoun Settlement was more particularly in what later became Abbeville County, the bounds of it were not far from the first western boundary of Greenwood County at its formation in 1897, but much of the more adjacent area was cut off to help form McCormick County.
The famous Patterson’s Bridge on the old Long Cane Road and the site of the Calhoun Massacre, though there were others than the Calhoun family in the fleeing caravan of settlers trying to escape the pursuing Indians, and the site of the massacre itself was two and a half miles from Troy. The site of this massacre is in McCormick County, the county line being about a mile from Troy at or near the old Macomb Spence house.
As mentioned last week, the road from the Calhoun Settlement crossed Long Cane at or near the Patterson Bridge (a new bridge has been built by the US Forestry Commission) and one near the site of the Calhoun Massacre, through the present town of Troy and on toward Winterseat where it joins the Old Charleston Road.
