As reported in "The Calvin Families-Origin and History of the American Calvins" and elsewhere, Barbara married her cousin Jacob Kuykendall, and he was captured by Indians while on a hunting trip to Ohio from Hampshire County, VA (now WV). Believing him to be dead, she married James Calvin (or Colvin). But Jacob returned seven years later. Barbara and Jacob were divorced on 17 Feb 1773. She continued to live with James Colvin, by whom she had several children. She eventually moved to Kentucky. Jacob is said to have returned to live with the Indians or he may have settled in Jefferson Co., Kentucky

10 "I told you to give Cupid a chance. Mattie Irene Hutcheson married William Lee Swallows July 13, 1911. They had three children, Hubert Lee their first child was born February 22, 1914 but died two days later. Daughter Sara Elizabeth was born Februay 4, 1916 and Daughter Martha Capterton was born February 22, 1922. After being a drug salesman for the Eli Lilly Co. Will decided he wanted to be a lawyer so he attended Cumberland Law School in Lebanon, Tennessee and received his law degree June 1, 1927. He set up a law office in Cookeville, Tennessee and worked as a school board chairman, state representative to the general assembly and was serving as Putnam County judge at the time of his death. I feel sure that Mattie never dreamed that she would serve as Postmaster of Algood, Tennessee for 22 1/2 years before she moved".
