Erik Cahun/Colquhuon was a Scottish merchant burgess of Stockholm in the early 17th century. On 9 November 1617 his child was baptised at St Nikolai church in Stockholm. On 28 September 1620 a second child was baptised at the church. Amongst this child's godparents was the wife of James Crawford ([SSNE 6713]?). His associate, Peter/Per, also a Scot, appeared in the Stockholm consistory records in May 1622 as the father of an illegitimate child with Anna Larsdotter.
