This is probably Anna V. (WILKINSON or WILLIAMSON) CALHOUN, said in some family trees on Ancestry to have married 02 JAN 1830 in Baldwin County, Georgia, to James Silas CALHOUN (ca. 1799 or 1802 GA-02 JUL 1852 at or near Independence, MO), his second wife. Marriage record clearly shows WILLIAMS, but her maiden name is reported to have been WILKINSON, so perhaps she had been married prior to her union with James?

James is said to have been married first on 19 DEC 1822 in Hancock County, Georgia, to Caroline Anne SIMMONS (ca. 1820 SC - 1828 GA?), by whom he had two daughters.

Typed list, compiled from a 1943 survey of Linwood Cemetery by members of the Southern States Mission, LDS Church, shows: CALHOUN. . .James S., b. 23 Mar. 1803, d. 16 Jul. 1841." [Source gives no indication of where in the cemetery this grave was located, and the list is alphabetized, so we do not know what graves it was near, but we can infer that the information was taken from a tombstone inscription.]

John H. Martin's history of Columbus, Georgia, Volume 1 (1874), p. 122, shows: Mrs. Anna V., wife of James S. CALHOUN, Esquire, of Columbus, died 16 JUL 1841 in Greensboro. From Vol. 2, p. 167: "In October [1845], James S. CALHOUN was elected Senator, and John L. MUSTIAN and N. L. HOWARD, Representatives of Muscogee county--all Whigs." He also was captain of a company from Columbus that fought in the Mexican War and later served as territorial governor in New Mexico.

"DEATH OF COL. CALHOUN.--A telegraph dispatch at Washington communicates the death of James S. CALHOUN, Governor of New Mexico. He died on the Prairies a few miles from the Missouri line on the 30th of June [sic - FindAGrave Memorial shows death date of 02 JUL 1852].

Unless it was moved at a time later than the death date, it would almost certainly be in the Old Cemetery section or in Section 1, as the rest of the cemetery area was not added until 1855 or later. The grave is evidently no longer identifiably marked.
