Patrick Calhoun

Patrick Calhoun (1856–1943), son of Andrew Pickens Calhoun and grandson of John C. Calhoun, great-grandson of his namesake Patrick Calhoun, who was the immigrant Calhoun.

He was an entrepreneur. He was born in the family home in what is now Clemson, South Carolina and is buried there, in Woodland Cemetery.

His initial involvement was primarily with the Central Georgia Railroad, but he later rose to the top of the streetcar system in San Francisco, becoming president of United Railroads of San Francisco. Late in life he achieved a new wealth, this time through oil speculation.
