The Conyngham-Calhoun (Colhoun) relationship is still unknown by me.
1.Gustavus of Largyreagh, gent. married his cousin, dau of Gabriel Conyngham.

Other members of this family were Hanna Conyngham who m. the Rev. Oliver MacCausland and Catherine Conyngham who married Col. Sir David Ross.  I am not sure yet, however, where they fit into the family's tree.  Also, please not question marks above where I may have doubts.

Back in Scotland let's not forget that Sir Aula(y) McAulay of Ardincaple was the Duke of Lennox's agent for the Lord's lands in Ireland;  Sir Aulay's first wife was Joanne Cunningham, dau of Cuthbert, and his second wife was Margaret Crawford of Kilbirnie, the widow of James Galbraith.
