Looking at the Irish Virtual Treasury and found the Tennison Groves notebooks or 1766 Census Raphoe Diocese. I found the following -
Drumany townland - Widow Colhoun
Cullion- William Colhoun [x2]
Creeve Smith - No Colhoun noted.

Hi Pablo

There are a lot of different Colhoun families listed in your first post. You will find I have a previous post about some of them. I am related by DNA to the Colhoun family that includes Andrew Colhoun and Catherine Shields, though they themselves did not have any family. My DNA matches are in the families of Andrew's siblings, Samuel Colhoun, William Colhoun, Jane Colhoun and probably Isabella Colhoun (Draffin family of new York). Their father was Andrew Colhoun who died 1865 aged 85.

On the 3rd February, at his residence, Corncammon, Mr. Andrew Colhoun, aged 85 years.

Andrew's wife Ann died at the home of her oldest son Samuel at Tullyannan in 1867

December 22, at her son's residence, Tullyannan, Ann, relict of the late Mr. Andrew Colhoun, aged 79 years.

There is a lot of work being done in FTDNA Calhoun group to sort out the various lines of the Donegal Colhouns.

Because I was hunting for Andrew Colhoun's I can link together another group that belong to the other Andrew Colhoun who died 1865. This Andrew Colhoun of Pump St Londonderry left a Will and named his sisters Jane Colhoun who married Thomas Miles and Isabella Colhoun who married John Colhoun. Their father was William Colhoun of Lifford. Andrew was buried at Taughboyne but was the owner of the plot where  Mary Colhoun, of Pump St,  daughter of Owens Colhoun and wife Jane, was buried in 1863. Mary was 78 when she died on 1 jan 1863 and was born at Carnamoyle.  Owens Colhoun of Corncammon, son of John Colhoun of Taughboyne who died 1755, purchased the property at Carnamoyle in the 1770s or 1780s. The lease passed to William Colhoun in 181s, then on to Andrew Colhoun in 1842.
