About Thomas Calhoun
Lived 1795 – 1861 (aged 65–66). Thomas Calhoun was a British cricketer.
Thomas Gunston Calhoun (1795 – 6 September 1861) was an English clergyman who played a single first-class cricket match for a Kent XI in 1827.
Calhoun was at Chichester in Sussex in 1795, the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Calhoun. His father was a "substantial" landowner from the Southampton area of Hampshire and Calhoun was educated at the University of Oxford. He matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford in 1813 and graduated from Magdalen College in 1817.
Calhoun made a single first-class appearance for a Kent team in 1827, playing against a Sussex XI at the Royal New Ground at Brighton. This is the only cricket match he is known to have played in and he was probably a late replacement for a missing player in the match.
Calhoun died at Goring-by-Sea in 1861.
