I received the following note and query from Paul Callaway. He is searching for the connection of his Callaway ancestors to either the Joseph or Peter Callaway lines. Below is the information that he sent and some census research that I have done on his family. It's another "Mystery Callaway" line. Can anyone help identify it?

Hi Donna,
Thank you for this opportunity, This is what I know. My ggg grandfather's name is John Callaway from Saint Joseph, Missouri, my gg grandfather's name is Greene or Green Harvey Callaway from Saint Joseph, Missouri, and my g grandfather's name is Earl Branson Callaway from Saint Joseph, Missouri. I hope this will get me a little further down the road on my ancestry.

I have just a couple dates I hope they help. The dates are the birth date and death date of who I think is my ggg grandfather's brother, Joseph Callaway. Those dates are, birth 3-24-1859 and death, 5-8-1918.I have also another name I believe to be my gggg grandfather. His name is George Callaway and his wife was Martha (Linville) Callaway. I think George was born in Kentucky and Martha was born in Virginia. Thanks so much for the help and God Bless You.

Hi Donna!
Hope all is well w/ you. I ran across an old note while cleaning out files. Do you have any info re: WILLIAM CALLOWAY found on the 1830 Vermillion Co, IN census, p.235. He is 20-30 years old with a female 15-20 years old. Living next door is John SOUTHARD 50-60 years old. Wm must be a young married as there are no children.

Response to Query # 400 (Jan 2007 Newsletter)
Subject – Elizabeth Talbot/Talbert
Submitter - Samuel Geer
email - GeerGenealogy at aol.com

Hi Winnie and Donna,

My research shows Elizabeth Talbot married in Wilkes Co., GA January 7, 1822 Hardin Reynolds. Elizabeth Talbot was the daughter of Joseph Hale "Joe" Talbot (b. Abt. 1778 in Virginia - d. February 15, 1858 in Wilkes Co., GA), son of Matthew Talbot III (b. 1756 Bedford Co., VA - 1804 Davidson Co., TN and Lucy Bailey (b. 1760 Virginia - d. in Morgan Co., GA), and Bethany Callaway. Joe Talbot is buried in an unmarked grave in the Callaway Family Cemetery near Rayle, Wilkes Co., GA. Elizabeth Talbot Reynolds secondly married in Wilkes Co., GA March 6, 1827 Nathan Brazell (b. 1798 North Carolina - bef. 1860 Alabama). He was then the widower of Sarah Adams who he had married in Wilkes Co., GA February 25, 1823.

Elizabeth Talbot's mother, Bethany Callaway (b. January 7, 1780 in Onslow Co., NC - d. May 16, 1871 in Chambers Co., AL), was the daughter of John Callaway (b. 1746 Onslow Co., NC - d. July 10, 1821 Wilkes Co., GA) and Bethany Arnold (1746 - July 10, 1844 Wilkes Co., GA). She is buried at County Line Baptist Church Cemetery, near Dudleyville, Chambers Co., AL.

Talbot Family History includes the following:

Matthew (III) - 1756 - 1804 on Matthew (II) Talbot Page
@http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fww64/mt_II.html
by Milton W. Talbot, Jr., MD and Farris W. Womack
on The Descendants of Matthew (I) Talbot, Gentleman Webpage,
@http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fww64/talbot_I.html

   Matthew (III) accompanied his parents to the Watauga Settlement in the mid 1770's and there he grew to adulthood. Diligent search of the records fails to establish much about his early years but it does seem certain that he is the Matthew who was "at the retaking of Augusta" rather than his father. In fact, his father, more than likely distinguished himself by his service in the Patriotic Corp rather than as a member of a military unit.
   The oldest child of Matthew (III) and Lucy Bailey Talbot was Joseph Hale Talbot. Joseph Hale Talbot married Bethany Callaway in 1797 in Wilkes County, Georgia. There were eleven children from this marriage. Two of those children, John R. and Isiah T., left Georgia sometime around the Civil War and settled in Chambers County, Alabama where they became active members of the community and very active members of the County Line Baptist Church. The serious Talbot student will recall that Green Berry Talbot, among others, had organized the County Line Baptist Church in 1835. So, a half-century later Green Berry's 1st cousins, once removed, settled in the same place and became leaders of the Church.
   One of the most famous of the "Talbot" sons descended from Matthew (III) was Claude Denson Pepper who grew up in Dudleyville, Alabama and was a member of the County Line Baptist Church. Claude Pepper became a Senator and a United States Congressman from Florida but he never forgot the importance of those tender years at Dudleyville and the enormous influence the County Line Baptist Church had on his life. A more complete story of his life can be found by clicking on his link on the Talbot web site.

My mom is 102 years old. She is from Newfoundland She recalls an old boyfriend, Max Calloway, who attended Dalhousie Univ. She believes he came to the U.S. and became a lawyer. Any info?

Mom lived in Bonne Bay Nfld. She mentioned Mr. (Max) Calloway (Kelloway?) was a teacher there for a while, then left to attend Dalhousie U. (in Halifax Nova Scotia) and eventually became a lawyer. She believes he came to the states after that.

Mom was born in 1904, so I assume he was about the same age. Apparently they corresponded for several years.

She is talking quite a bit about her youth these days, and she was wondering what had become of him.

Told her I'd try to find out.

email - roloda at knology.net

Hi, Donna,
Don't know that I'm solving anything on the family of John Francis Marion CALLAWAY and Louisa Constanza DANIELL, the widow POSEY, but the effort continues. Below is what I know about the family and some speculation on their daughter Mary.

In 1860, there is a John M. CALLAWAY in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, 25, a merchant, 200 5,000 born in Georgia, possibly too young to be this John Francis Marion CALLAWAY who is 56 in 1880? John M. is living as head of household with W. W. NORRIS, 21, a clerk, and A. W. ROBISON, 17, a clerk. (1860: Series: M653 Roll: 133 Page: 695)

John Francis Marion CALLAWAY, son of John CALLAWAY and Margaret TURNER, married Louisa Daniell POSEY sometime between 1850, when she is named in the census of Baldwin County as wife of Henry POSEY with two children, and before 1880, when she and John Francis Marion have six children and Louisa's sister, Anabelle, living in their home. If Louiza is the mother of all these children, they were married before 1862.

The John F. M. CALLAWAY family has only been found in the 1880 census. Where were these folks in 1860 and 70?
1880 U.S. Census, Georgia, Baldwin County, District 115, 7 June 1880; Series: T9 Roll: 133 Page: 185: 128 133 CALLAWAY Francis M. W M 56 Head of F M Farmer GA GA GA;

(Note: Anabella DANIEL is Louisa's sister.)

The cemetery index for the Black Springs Baptist Churchyard, Baldwin County, lists:

523 Louisa C. Daniell Calloway b 1831 Insc: w/o John F. Calloway

524 John F. Calloway (No dates given. RLD)

SPECULATION: "Mamie Calloway TUCKER 1874 1965" buried in Memory Hill Cemetery is Mary CALLAWAY, born 1874, a daughter of John Francis Marion CALLAWAY and Louisa Constanza DANIELL of Baldwin County, Georgia. She is named with her parents in the 1880 census of Baldwin County. Louisa was a daughter of Jesse DANIELL and Mary Ann TUCKER. Mary Ann was a sister to Harper TUCKER, father of Joseph H. TUCKER. Joseph was the father of Harper TUCKER who married "Mamie CALLOWAY." Curiously too, the graves of John and Louisa are indexed as CALLOWAY. Considering the known family ties, the dates and places involved, and that "Mamie" is a nickname for Mary, it is possible that she is the daughter of John F. M. and Louisa C. DANIELL.

"Mamie Calloway TUCKER" is buried in Memory Hill Cemetery, Baldwin County, Georgia. In the family lot, as indexed, are:

1 Croley Tucker, Sr. 1900 1987 (Son of Harper and Mamie)
2 Slab Son of Harper Tucker 0 0 (Son died young)

5 Annie Laura Tucker 1902 1989 (Daughter of Harper and Mamie)

Note: Comments in parentheses are mine.

If the CALLAWAY researchers can help shed some more light on this family or correct any misconception I may have here, it would be most appreciated.

Subject - Callaways of Lawrence Co., KY

Dear Donna:

I am looking for information on James Calloway B. about 1807 in Virginia or Kentucky, who married Sarah Pack in Lawrence County in 1830. Need to find a death date for James Calloway or find out what happened to him because:

I connect to James Boyd who married a Sarah Pack abt. 1840. In the Lawrence Co. Census in 1850 it shows these Calloway children with the 2 younger girls living with James Boyd and Sarah Pack:

1) Harvey Calloway b. abt. 1831 living with Samual Murry in 1850 Law. Co. (lived close to the Boyd Family)

1860 Law. Co. Census shows he is a farm hand living with William Pigg

He might have married Nov. 1867 Rachel Lewis in Lawrence Co. I would like to find out if they had children and where they died.

2) Cornelius "Neal" Calloway b. abt. 1835 was living with Hugh Boyd in 1850 Law. Co. (Hugh may have been a son of James Boyd and a previous wife prior to Sarah Pack)

"Neal married Elisabeth Farlon in 1860 in Law. County and was divorced in the 1870 Census of Law. Co." Lived with Sarah Boyd and Edward Boyd in 1880 Law. Census and was listed as BROTHER to head of home. Edward was living with his mother Sarah Boyd. * This is the main tip that makes me think that the Callaway children were children of Sarah and James Calloway, but the children could have been family members from either James Boyd or Sarah Pack's family. Perhaps a sister's children?

3) Elijah " Washington" Calloway b. abt. 1836 and lived with Archibald Borders in 1850 and married Mary A. Moore in 1860. I do not know what happened to him.

4) Elizabeth "Betsy" J. Calloway b. about 1838 was living with James Boyd and Sarah in 1850 Law. Co. Census and was a boarder with Arthur and Ann Boarders in 1860 and married Richard Hall in 1869. I do not know what happened to her.

5) Julina "Indiana" Calloway b. abt. 1839 lived with James Boyd and Sarah in 1850 and married Wesley Wellman in 1859 and had two children that I am aware of 1) Margaret b. abt 1860 and 2) Alice b.?

Indiana then married Jonathon McCord or McCloud. She was 30 and he was 70 at the time. Several people have contacted me on this line, needing information, but this is all I have.

In conclusion, my main question is who are the parents of these children, and whatever happened to them?

I'm trying to find out if my line connects to yours. :) I can give you more information if you'd like but this is the earliest ancestor I have record of. I'm at a standstill in my research. I've hit a wall...

Thanks for any information you might have concerning either or both of theses ancestors. My family moved from Georgia to Texas and is in Texas now.
