Narrative:

     Roderick P. Calhoun was born about 1824 in Virginia.4,5,6
     Roderick married Janett F. Flora, daughter of Elisha Flora and Genette Young, on 21 Dec 1848 in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia.1,7
     Roderick and Janett appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, enumerated 16 Dec 1850, reporting no real estate but 26 slaves, ranging in age from 2 to 60. Her parents were evidently living close by, or perhaps even in the same dwelling, as they are listed next in the census record.4,8
     Roderick and Janett appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Bachelor's Hall, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, enumerated 18 Jul 1860, reporting personal estate of $900. Their children Annie, Emma, George and Martha were listed as living with them.3
     Roderick and Janett appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Danville, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, enumerated 23 Aug 1870, reporting no real estate, but $1,000 in personal estate.9
     Roderick and Janett appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, enumerated 7 Jun 1880.10
     He was a farmer, though in 1860 his occupation was listed as overseer. He may have been working for someone else at that time.11,12,13,14 In 1880 he reported he was renting his farm for a fixed rental. It contained 235 acres of "improved" land, 225 of woodland, and 50 of other unimproved land. He valued the farm at $6,000, implements at $100, and livestock at $400. In the prior year he had spent $75 on fencing, $116 on fertilizer, and $1,375 on 400 weeks of labor. He valued the prior year's farm production at $2,580. At mid-year he owned one horse and two mules, two milch cows and two other cows, and 29 swine. One calf had been dropped the prior year. He had produced 650 bushels of Indian corn on 38 acres, and 180 of oats on 30 acres, 2 bushels of peas, 3 of beans, 25 of potatoes. He had raised 15,000 lb. of tobacco on 25 acres and 10 bushels of peaches on 10 trees. He had cut 130 cords of wood worth $150.15
     
Research Note, 15 Jun 2016:
No record of Roderick or Janett has been found after 1880. It seems likely they died between 1880 and 1900, but they do not appear in the Pittsylvania Co. death records, which are available for that period. Perhaps they followed their married daughter Annie to Rockingham Co. North Carolina. Death records there for that period have not been found.
