Son of Rev. John Provine and Jane Calhoun.

J. C. Provine married first Naomi Ensley ["Neoma Ensly" on the transcription of her now broken tombstone, "Neomah Ensly" on their marriage record] on 2 Nov 1852, in Davidson County, Tennessee.

They were parents of daughter, Mollie, who died as a baby. Mrs. Provine died the following year. Both were buried in the cemetery at Tusculum Cumberland Prebyterian Church, the building now being that of Nolensville Road Baptist Church. (Alternate cemetery names given on death certificates and USGS maps include Goodrich, Travis, and Wilkerson.)

Rev. Provine next married Mary Katherine "Kate" Weedin, on 24 Feb 1858, in Boyle County, Kentucky. Their children included Annie, Laura Lee, Katie, Joseph C, William A, Mary Rains "Mamie" (m. Greenlaw), Margaret Pearl (m Alexander), twins Mattie and Hattie, and James M Provine.

A full biography of Rev. Calhoun, written by Judge John McReynolds Gaut, is available on the website of the Historical Foundation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the third paragraph of which is excerpted here:

...we may profitably recall some of the leading features of his life. It compassed eighty-two eventful years--1922 to 1904. His father, John Provine, was a Scotch-Irishman and a Cumberland Presbyterian preacher. His mother, a sister of Rev. Thomas Calhoun, was an inbred Cumberland Presbyterian. Dr. Provine became both a Christian and Cumberland Presbyterian in the tenth year of his age. He received his earliest education at home. Afterwards he attended the local schools in his native county, Wilson, and successively Clinton College, the old academy at Lebanon and Cumberland University, where he graduated in 1850.
