THE CALLAWAY FAMILY ASSOCIATION Volume IX No. 3
Always regard
with esteem the name you were given; The Editor's Corner March is Women's History Month
Women's History Month is a fitting time to learn about the lives of more of our female Callaway/Kellaway ancestors. The excerpt that follows is about the family of Laura (Lora) Kellaway (born about 1483), daughter of Sir William Kellaway of Rockbourne. Laura married Sir Amias Paulet, and her grandson, also named Sir Amias Paulet, was the keeper of Mary Stewart, Queen of Scots. "Paulet or Poulet, Sir Amias (1536?-1588), keeper of Mary Queen of Scots, born about 1536, was son of Sir Hugh Paulet, by his first wife. He was made his father's lieutenant in the government of Jersey on 25 April 1559, and remained in residence in Jersey for some twelve years. A convinced puritan through life, he distinguished his rule of the island by repressing the practice of the catholic religion, and offered ostentatious protection to Huguenot refugees from France. With Sir Philip Carteret, the native leader among the islanders, he was in repeated conflict. On his father's death in 1571 he succeeded to the full post of governor; but he soon left Jersey and delegated his powers to his brother George, who became bailiff in 1583, and subsequently to his son Anthony. His representatives ruled the island with greater rigour than he had practised, and their tyranny occasionally drew from him a gentle reproof. But although he watched with attention the course of events in Jersey until his death, other duties compelled him to exercise a merely nominal control. Paulet was knighted in 1576, and in September of the same year left London for Paris to fill the important office of ambassador at the French court. He regarded the movements of the Huguenots with keen sympathy, and corresponded with his government copiously, if not enthusiastically, on the proposal to marry the Duc d'Alencon to Queen Elizabeth. His Parisian career was uneventful, and in November 1579 he was recalled. The Earl of Leicester had no liking for his stern demeanour, but he had completely gained the confidence of Sir Francis Walsingham. On Walsingham's recommendation he was nominated in January 1585 to the responsible office of keeper of Mary Queen of Scots, and was made a privy councillor. Mary was Queen Elizabeth's prisoner at Tutbury. Sir Ralph Sadler had been her latest warder, and Lord St. John of Bletsoe had been in the first instance, invited to relieve Sadler. It was only after Lord St. John's refusal of the post that Paulet's name had been suggested. Paulet's instructions, dated 4 March, are not extant, but it is known that he was directed to treat his prisoner with far greater severity than Sadler had employed. Her correspondence was to be more carefully inspected; her opportunities of almsgiving were to undergo limitation; she was to be kept in greater seclusion, and less regard was to be paid to her claims to maintain in her household the etiquette of a court. Queen Mary protested against the selection of Paulet; she feared his puritanic fervour, and urged that while in Paris he had shown marked hostility to her agents there. Elizabeth retorted in an autograph letter that he had done his duty. On 17 April Paulet arrived at Tutbury, and was installed in office. His attitude to his prisoner was from the first courteous but firm, and her frequent complaints left him unmoved. He took the most minute precautions to make her custody secure, and he told Walshingham (5 July 1585) that whenever an attempt at rescue seemed likely to prove successful, he was prepared to kill Mary rather than yield her alive. His anxieties were intensified by Elizabeth's parsimony. He had to provide, as a rule, for nearly one hundred and twenty-seven persons - Mary's attendants numbered fifty-one, and his own retinue, including thirty soldiers, consisted of seventy-six men. Frequently kept without adequate supplies, Paulet advanced large sums of money from his own purse, and the government showed no hast in repaying him. At the end of 1585 Mary desired a change of residence, and Paulet was ordered to remove the establishment on 2 Dec. to Chartley, a house belonging to the Earl of Essex. The cost of living proved much higher than at Tutbury, and the difficulty of meeting the expenses was greater. In March 1586 Morgan, Mary's agent in Paris, wrote urging her to employ all her powers of enchantment on Paulet; he suggested that she might promise, in the event of her regaining her liberty and influence, to obtain for Paulet a great increase in his power over Jersey, if not independent sovereignty. But Paulet declined to neglect his duty through 'hope of gain, fear of loss, or any private respect whatever.' (Editor's Note - Does this not define the character of a Kellaway?) With the aid of Walsingham and his spies he kept himself accurately informed as to his prisoner's and her agents' plots and machinations, and he aided in arrangements by which the government was able to inspect, without her knowledge, all her private correspondence. In August he arranged to send her papers to London, and, so as not to excite her suspicions, he removed her for a fortnight to Sir Walter Aston's house at Tixall, on pretence of enabling her to take part in a stag hunt. In her absence from Chartley her coffers were searched, and their contents, including not only letters but many of her jewels, were seized. Early in September, in accordance with orders from London, Paulet took, moreover, possession of his prisoner's money, and on the 25th of that month he removed her to Fotheringay to stand her trial. He acted as a commissioner. After her condemnation in October he treated her with far less ceremony than before, and urged, in letters to Walsingham and Burghley, with a pertinacity that became at times almost grotesque, the need of executing her without delay. In November Sir Dure Drury was associated with him in the office of keeper. On 1 Feb. Secretary Davison sent by letter to Paulet plain hints that he might safely murder Mary privately, and thus relieve Queen Elizabeth of the distasteful task of signing her death-warrant. Paulet at once replied that he could not perform 'an act which God and the law forbiddeth.' Mary's execution at Fotheringay on 8 Feb. 1586-7 brought Paulet's duties to an end. Elizabeth, who had frequently corresponded with him on familiar terms while he was in charge of Mary, expressed full satisfaction with his performance of his difficult task. On the St. George's eve following (22 April) he was appointed chancellor of the order of the Garter, and held the office for a year. On 14 Jan. 1587-8 he was lodging in Fleet Street, and was corresponding with the lord-admiral Nottingham respecting the 'right of tenths in Jersey (of which he was still governor) belonging to the government.' In February and March he was one of four commissioners sent to the Low Countries to discuss Elizabeth's relations with the States-General. On 24 April following he was living at Twickenham. On 4 Jan 1587-8 he attended the privy council, and signed orders directing catholic recusants to be dealt with stringently. He died in London on 26 Sept. 1588, and was buried in the church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields. When that church was rebuilt, his remains were removed, together with the monument, to the parish church of Hinton St. George. ~ from: The Dictionary of National Biography Founded in 1882 by George Smith. Vol. I-XX, XXII. London, England: Oxford University Press, 1921-1922, Vol. XV, pp. 526-527. ~ Picture of Mary Stewart from the English Monarchs web site at: http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk Editor's Note - We don't know when Laura Kellaway Paulet died, but, if still alive, she would have been about 53 when her grandson was born, so it is doubtful that she ever knew him. But I wonder, what would she have thought about his role as keeper of Mary Queen of Scots?
I encourage each of
you to send in articles for the e-Newsletter. It doesn’t have to
be lengthy. It could be some "Callaway" news, a family story, a
family photo, a favorite family recipe, results from your family
line research, or any item you think would be of interest to our
readers. Send them to me, and I will take care of adding them.
In Memory
I
would like to thank CFA Member, Margaret Miller of
Copperas Cove, TX for sending us the
following obituary. Stella Irene (Brown) Callaway was
the wife of Lloyd Edgar Callaway, who died in 2002, from
the following line of descent:
Peter Callaway William Callaway William Callaway, Jr. Isaiah Callaway Elijah Washington Callaway Rev. George Washington Callaway and 2nd wife Elizabeth Ann Smith John Dennis Callaway Harry Maynard Callaway Lloyd Edgar Callaway
Callaway, Stella Irene Thank you to CFA Member, Fred Lucas of Cincinnati, OH, for sending us this happy news about his family. We all send Happy Birthday wishes and congratulations. My cousin, Mildred Via of Northfork, West Virginia celebrated her 90th birthday at a surprise party in Bluefield, Virginia on February 17, 2008. A lifelong resident of Northfork, she is a member of the First Baptist Church.
My nephew, Sean
Lucas who teaches church history at Covenant
Theological Seminary recently wrote a book. The book
is Robert Lewis Dabney, A Southern Presbyterian
Life. Jack Maddex Jr., Professor of History at the
University of Oregon says about the book, "An
important resource, Lucas draws on the many sources
for knowledge of Dabney's life and thought. He also
points out and wrestles ably with some of the knotty
questions that Dabney's story and his legacy still
pose for his present day admirers and critics."
We are
descendants of Lewis Callaway of Monroe County West
Virginia. Lewis was the first elected County Clerk
of Monroe County, West Virginia. He served from
1868-1872. Lewis is descended from Peter of
Maryland.
Sincerely,

U. S. Joseph Callaway Line Here is one of the unusual cases
where the Joseph and Peter Callaway lines intertwine. In this
one cemetery we have descendants from both lines. I would like to thank Mary Giera
for sending us the Englewood cemetery listing from Clinton
Township, Henry Co., MO. All but two of the Callaways buried here descend from
the following line:
I found another cemetery with Callaways. I
can only identify 3 of them - Maj. John [Farrar] Callaway,
William H. Callaway and his unknown wife simply listed as
Mrs. Callaway in the transcription.

Callaway - mvd from Dunning Cemetery ca 1979 I would like to thank
Ruth Welch, of Springfield, VA, for sending us information
about William Franklin Callaway, a US Navy Lieut. Commander.
There is additional information about him published in the
Feb 2005 newsletter.
His line of descent is as follows:
Hi Donna,
I thoroughly enjoy reading the Callaway
Family Association Newsletter each month. My husband is of
the same Peter Callaway line as Peggy Carey, descended from
Nancy Jane Callaway McFarland that you featured in the
December issue.
My mother's cousin (Vincent Waltis) was lost
at sea in WWII and in providing information about him to the
On Eternal Patrol web site, I ran across William
Franklin Callaway.
http://www.oneternalpatrol.com/callaway-w-f.htm
I also found these photos of him. He is 5th from the left in the large group photo, and he is on the left in the other photo. http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h98000/h98036.jpg http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h98000/h98037.jpg I also have a photo of students from the Callaway School, Spring Lake, IL circa 1915. Remind me and I will scan and email it to you. Sincerely, U. S. Peter Callaway Line I would like to thank Shirley Whipple for sharing information about her family web site at Ancestry. Shirley descends from the Peter Callaway line through Zachariah Callaway. The link to view her pages is: http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?pid=-1949099620&tid=1387590 I am descended from Zachariah through Andrew, Verlinder, Gabriel, H.N.B. Paul, Myrtle Paul, Martha Jenkins and so on down. Martha Jenkins is the person responsible for collecting the genealogy and in her honor the site was put together. This is 30 years of her genealogy, with a lot of mine added on in the process. If you would like to tell people about the site, I don't mind that. I welcome comments, corrections, etc. It all helps. And I'd like to do other families and gather more pictures, etc. I think it would be a wonderful thing to see the people more or less come to life as a group.
Sincerely,
Shirley

I would also like to thank Shirley for sending us a
copy of the following petition. It makes me wonder
if the failure of the petition to pass is the reason
that Levin Callaway left Somerset Co., MD and went
to Sussex Co., DE where he died? It's also a good
document to see who was living there at that time.
Levin descends from the Peter Callaway line as
follows:
PETITION FOR
AN ACT TO PROMOTE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE TOWN OF

I would like to thank CFA Member, Jean Hare for sharing her Callaway connections with us. In honor of Women's History Month, she tells us about her Callaway ancestor, Mary Callaway, the daughter of Job Callaway of the Peter Callaway line. WOMEN DESCENDANTS OF THE CALLAWAY LINE When will genealogist realize that the male line would not continue without the women? Is it only a few of us who want to follow the lines of the female ancestors? I first became interested in genealogy in the mid 1950s but soon realized that the search would take more time than I could devote to it or perhaps was willing to devote to it at that time. My two grandfathers died before this, but I did talk with my two grandmothers about their families. The information they provided, which included some for their spouses, was the foundation on which I would build my family history. I quickly learned that it was fairly easy to get information on the males of my lines, but not so when it came to the women! My connection to the Callaway line in through my mother, Nannette Parks, daughter of Alex Parks, son of James Clark (Jerre) Parks, son of Eli Parks, son of William J. Parks who was married to MARY CALLAWAY, daughter of Job Callaway (m to Mary Carter), son of Edward (m to Elizabeth?), son of John (m to Mary Gould), son of Peter (m to Elizabeth Johnson.) Early research uncovered a lot of information on Job and his wife Mary, but only one sentence on Job’s daughter Mary: “Mary married William J. Parks.” Finally, at the Archives in LaGrange, in one of the many files on Callaways, I found a yellowed sheet of paper, torn from a tablet, listing the children of William J. Parks and Mary Callaway. The entries were in pencil, but the document was not dated or signed to indicate who had supplied the information. Still, it was a start. Over time I have connected with other descendants of William J. and Mary Callaway Parks. Their documentation for William and Mary is no stronger than mine. They do refer to a Bible record, but no one doing research has seen the Bible to determine the authenticity of the record. My future plans for documenting this line is to locate a will for William J. Parks, who died 11 December 1817, but place of death is not known. Are you a descendant of this line? Do you have more information? Are you willing to share? Please let me hear from you. Jean W.
Hare Editor's Note - CFA records for William J. Parks show that he was born and died in Wilkes Co., GA. Perhaps a clue for locating his will. Other C/K Lines John Callaway was born about 1806 in England and immigrated to the US in 1839, settling in Grant Co., Wisconsin. The following picture of Betty Calloway appeared in the Tom Tom Yearbook of Central High School, Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1938. Betty descends from this "Mystery Callaway" line and this line has been mentioned several times in our newsletters: Jan 2004, Feb 2004, Sep 2004, Oct 2004, Nov 2004. I would like to thank Lesley Haigh in the UK for sending us further information on this line.
Hello Donna, John Callaway and Elizabeth Butson were married 12th Oct 1833 in St Agnes Cornwall. They had one son Joseph baptised there 14 Sept 1835 and after that I have found no further records of them in Cornwall. There is no Baptism for John c.1806 St Agnes Area. It is just possible he fits into an earlier family of Joseph Callaway and Martha Gill m. 01 Feb 1801. They had children in St Agnes James 1805, Joseph 1807, Timothy 1821 and Ann 1823 It’s a big gap so I wonder where they went in between those dates. Not Devon or Cornwall it seems. If this is the case then the son James 1805 would be a brother of John Callaway and James too immigrated into America. I sent you information on this line which appeared in last November’s issue following a question in October. I think you have since added it all in to October. I hope this helps with the line. They came from a rather beautiful part of Cornwall right on the north coast. A big mining area at the time, you can still see the remains of the mines and Engine houses today.
Best Wishes, Following is a genealogy report showing what we have learned about this line to date. Can anyone recognize this family line and add any further information?

The Union Prison, Camp Douglas housed thousands of Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Conditions and treatment were horrendous and rivaled the Confederate Prison at Andersonville. William J. Callaway was sent to Camp Douglas where he died of pneumonia on May 23, 1865. He is a "Mystery Callaway". Can anyone identify his family line and tell us more about them?

Cumberland Gap,
Tenn. ~ following from All Prisoners of War and Missing in Action web site: The 55th Georgia infantry was immediately sent to eastern Tennessee and thence to Heth’s division in Kentucky. Under the overall command of Lt. Gen. Kirby Smith, the 55th and the other companies found themselves without food and returned to the safety of the Cumberland Gap. In September 1863, Unionists Tennesseans and regular Federal troops began an assault on the recently fortified Confederate positions. With little supplies and food on hand and mistakenly believing that his force was outnumbered, Confederate Commander Gen. Frazer surrendered his force at Cumberland Gap on Sept. 9, 1863. Included in the roll of prisoners was Ennis, Hogsett and Lock. The prisoners were taken to Camp Douglas in Chicago, Ill., a part of the estate of former Democratic presidential candidate and rival of Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas. I would like to thank CFA Member, Don Kellaway, in Ontario, Canada for sending us these Ontario marriage records. Hi Donna: The following are some Kellaway/Callaway marriages in Ontario where one of the principals was born in England. It is hoped that this may help someone to make a connection to their family. The number at the beginning is the registration number followed by the year of marriage and the locations for the bride and groom indicate first their place of birth and secondly their residence. 20026-1925 William James KELLAWAY, 26, Pipe fitter, Falmouth Cornwall, England, Cobalt, s/o Samuel John KELLAWAY & Louisa Ellen HICKS, married Claudia May PORRITT, 18, Middlesborough England, Cobalt, d/o John William PORRITT & Eleanor GLADDERS?, Wtn.

And thank
you also to Don for sending us these pictures from WWII.
Thought that the
attached pictures would show you just how desperate the
British Empire was for weapons in the early years of WWII.
The picture of the beautiful young lady protecting
Edinburgh, Scotland in 1943 pales in comparison to Lorne
Kellaway her cousin in Canada protecting a Canadian harbour
from German submarines in 1940. Unfortunately the Ontario
location has been classified and will remain secret until
2250.
The young lady was Dorothy
Nicholas, the granddaughter of Margaret Catherine
Kellaway, the sister of Lorne's grandfather, Alfred Lelean Kellaway. During the war Lorne was based with the
RCAF at Waddington, Lincolnshire which was only an hour
from Dorothy's hometown. Unfortunately neither knew
that the other existed as Alfred had left England in the
1800s.
Cheers, Don

I would like to thank John
Kellaway, who lives on the south coast of England, for his gracious permission to reprint the
letter he recently wrote to CFA Member, Bruce
Callaway, of Sydney, Australia. It is a delightful
reminder to us all that while the study of our roots
isn't an exact science, it is a tremendous amount of
fun. In the photo below, the smiling face on the
left shows
Mr. Arnold
Zuiderent's
cousin, Eduard
Zuiderent.
The face on the right with such remarkable
similarity, is, you guessed it, unfortunately
unidentified.
My thank you to
Eduard also, for his kind permission to reprint the
photo.
Hi Bruce and all, Thanks for communication and your felicitations. May I also wish you all a very Happy New Year and, of course, some good researching. I found the table of "International Groups of C/K's" interesting, but where is the evidence that links Charles, the Philack wonder stud, to Henry, Richard and Emanuel Kelleway. I have spent many happy hours searching library records ( Quaker, Jewish, army, non-conformist etc.) as well as the Net without finding anything remotely reliable. I do, however, think that Falmouth and/or Mullion are good possible sources, if only because their Kelway families have the right spread of forenames! Families in those days were not very inventive in giving their children names. Unlike today's young parents! Changing the subject slightly, and going back several hundreds of years, I have got interested in tracing physical origins. It all started with the lists of DNA matches. I'm puzzled by the fact that few of the matches, (180 odd to date), had C/K surnames. And many had Spanish names. I have written to a selection of them, a few of whom have replied, asking if they had family stories of their origins. Many are now living in the USA and one family from Texas inferred that they were of Sephardic Jewish stock. And he was matched to me on 23 markers. None of the others had claimed Jewish origins. Delving a little deeper it seems that the year 1492 is a turning point. Not only did Christopher Columbus get his license to find the New World (or at least an easy route to India), the Moors were beaten on the battlefield and expelled from all of Spain, but also the Spanish authorities gave the Jews three months notice to leave the Iberian peninsular. There are records of Jews going in all directions, but mainly to the East. There are also records of at least half a dozen boats, laden with Jewish families, sailing from Portugal to the Netherlands. Clearly, over time, some of these immigrants would move on, possibly to Britain but certainly to USA. Which would certainly explain the more Germanic surnames in the lists. Then, one of my respondents writes from the Netherlands. He has a 12 match DNA with me and has state records showing his family has lived in the same village to the west of Rotterdam since early 1500's AD. In the middle of last year he was informed by some archaeologists, who were digging in his Village, that a recently excavated skeleton, which had been shown to have been buried between 1000 and 1040 AD, was DNA linked to him. The photo below shows his cousin, Eduard and stranger both very happy!
So that throws another theory out
of court. Genealogy is a series of dots that you
join together with straight lines to form known
shapes, so that other people can then see what
sort of nutter you are! So, maybe I'll stick with Falmouth and Emanuel ! Best Regards,
johnkellaway at waitrose.comThe following obituary is from the Find a Grave web site. Can anyone identify this family line and tell us more about them? They are "Mystery Callaways".

Query #
474 I have CALLAWAY connections and am interested in learning more about this group. Actually attended a reunion here in San Antonio several years ago, but that was before we had decided for sure that there was a Callaway connection.
Visit The Callaway Family Association web site. It has much to offer. Would you like to . . .
CFA's DNA
Project I had several questions from readers of last month's newsletter about our DNA results and how to see the Callaway/Kellaway lines of descent that have been verified. Here is some additional information about the DNA Project that will help you see the lines of descent more clearly. Cameron Callaway has set up a page on our DNA web site that lists all the separate C/K lines that we have identified so far. This is the link: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Callaway/index.aspx?fixed_columns=on When this page opens click on Results at the top of the page. On the Results page there are lists of the different lines of descent that have been verified. Each group has a link (an underlined number above it). Click on this link and it takes you to that family line in the CFA master files at Rootsweb. I hope this helps everyone to get a better picture of all that our DNA Project is discovering.
