| Novelist, Molly Noble Bull, is a Colquhoun as well as the daughter and granddaughter of real Texas cowboys, and Sam Noble, her cowboy father, is directly descended from three of James Patrick Calhoun's five children -- Mary Catherine Calhoun (Noble,) James Patrick Calhoun Jr., and Ezekiel Calhoun. She is also directly descended from two of Ezekiel's daughters, making Molly a Colquhoun five ways. Yes, cousins married cousins on Molly's branch of the Colquhoun family.
If that were not enough, Molly is also a Potter on her mother's side of the family. To celebrate her Scottish Colquhounness, Molly wrote Sanctuary, a historical novel loosely based on her family that begins in France in 1740 and ends in Luss, Scotland. |
