Editor’s note - 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/Kellaway" 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.
Our Newest Callaway
Happy news from CFA Member, Peggy Bock in Arizona. She
has a new granddaughter who carries the Callaway name.
Hi, 1911 England and Wales Census Now Available Happy News for all of us with British ancestors. The 1911 England and Wales census is now available. Here's the announcement from the National Archives. Welcome to our 1911 census special. The 1911 census, now available online, offers a fascinating glimpse into life 98 years ago. For the first time householders - rather than official census takers - filled in their own census returns. This means that you can not only see your ancestor's handwriting but also any additional comments, mistakes and even doodles that they may have added! You can also search the census by address, if you're more interested in house history. The census can tell you who was living in your house at that time. Most of the English counties are already available, with the rest of the census (including Wales) due out soon. Best of all, you can search the eight million census records for free - visit the web site here: http://www.1911census.co.uk/default.aspx. However, please be aware that once you locate a record you are interested in, the "free" ends and the charge begins in order to see the detail. Guaranteed to Cure What Ails You Here in the states we are in the throws of winter. Luckily Anne Leyden has found us the perfect recipe for "whatever" ails us. Hello, Donna.Enjoyed the newsletter. Here's a good one for this time of year. It's from a letter I found among some old papers. Don't know who wrote it or who Mrs. Victor is. My guess is that it's for a very potent cough medicine. What do you think? Anne 
ahampden at comcast.netP.S. Sounds like it would also be a good just-before-bedtime nip! - - - - - - - - - - - - - “Mother, I have got Mrs. Victor’s receipt which is as follows: “Take four large Lemons and press the juice over three new laid eggs; let them stand 24 hours, when the shells will be dissolved, then beat them up and add ˝ a pint of the best French Brandy, ˝ a pint of the best clear Honey, ˝ a pint of the best Salad Oil, and ˝ a pound of Rock Candy. Mix and bottle. Dose A tablespoonful three times a day for an adult.”The Ks Meet the Cs I would like to thank CFA Member, Bruce Callaway for sharing his enjoyable visit with Richard and Kath Kallaway from the UK.
Hello all,
The International work of the CFA continues afoot in the Antipodes. As this photo shows, Dawn and I have just returned from a delightful lunch on Sydney Harbour with Richard and Kath KALLAWAY of Somerset/Devon.
You will recall that the
Kallaways hail from Cullompton (a place of great interest to
us) and Rod is a familiar with Richard who for several
generations has been a Dairy Farmer in this region.
What a delightful and
vibrant couple they proved to be, and so enthusiastic about
the CFA which they plan to join. Thus far they are back to
early 18th century with their research but plan to go
further when they return to the UK in a few days. I was so
impressed with their knowledge of our research and interest.
We need more of their ilk.
Kind wishes,
Bruce

callaway.com.auDo You Have Any Callaways/Kellaways With German Ancestors? I would like to thank CFA Member, Fred Lucas for letting us know about the upcoming annual meeting of Palatines to America. The organization doing genealogy about German immigrants is called the Palatines to America. Persons interested in learning more about this group can
go to their web site at http://www.palam.org. The national meeting will be held at the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, IN from June 18-20 2009. The cost is $89 for the full conference and banquet. People who are interested should contact the Palatines to America.
U. S. Joseph Callaway Line I would like to thank a new
friend, Eloise Nutting, who very graciously shared some old
family pictures with me. I found a 1998 posting on Genforum
where she mentioned having these pictures, so I wrote to her and
amazingly her email had not changed. The pictures are of Joseph
Franklin Callaway and family from the following line of descent:
Good to hear from a "cousin."
Thanks for requesting a copy of the
picture--I went through so many OLD pictures today, looking
for the original of Joseph and Nettie Shoun Callaway--What
fun!--I love old pictures and I save every one I get my
hands on. So I found the original picture of this couple;
also in the picture is their baby, Marshall, who, according
to the information on the back of the picture, died Dec. 16,
1911. We aren't sure about that date--it is so dim on the
back of the picture. And according to some Ohio relatives
(the only identification is "Ohio relatives") on the back of
the picture--Marshall was born in 1902.
You may have more detailed and more
accurate information about this couple. I love the picture!
I put a print of it in a "family" album that I gave to all
of our children and grandchildren a few years ago.
And in looking for the original
picture, I ran across the
original little newspaper clipping about their
wedding; I thought I had lost the original--now according to
notes made in ink on the SMALL newspaper clipping, they were
married in 1897 or 1898. I believe I got this date from a
"cousin" in Rock Hill, S.C.--Frank Calloway; perhaps you
have him in your genealogy. His mother was Mary Hazel (?)
who was born in 1908. She was the daughter of J. F. and
Nettie Shoun Calloway.
Oh yes--This Nettie Shoun Calloway was
my grandmother's sister. So Nettie is my great aunt. And
thanks for the web site for the Calloways--I will go through
the information a little later.
Looking forward to hearing from you
again....

Callaways as follows: Following is an obituary for Ely Reeves Callaway, Jr., that appeared in the Independent, a London newspaper. I had not seen this obituary before. It does an exceptionally good job of capturing his amazing entrepreneurial spirit. The London Independent, London, England, July 9, 2001, by Andy Farrell
His most famous club, the Big Bertha driver, revolutionised equipment design. It launched a series of clubs with oversized heads and an increased sweet spot, helping handicap golfers to hit the ball longer and straighter. Or, indeed, simply airborne at all. "I knew that if a 72-year-old man could hit this driver off the ground then anybody could hit it off the tee," Callaway said of the Big Bertha, which was launched in 1991. "The driver used to be the most feared, shunned and disliked club in most everybody's golf bag. Now it's their favourite. We took the fear out of the driver by making one that was easier to hit." Arnold Palmer, who became a Callaway spokesman last year, said: "The fact is that 90 percent of all golfers are struggling to play. Ely's whole idea was to give them the opportunity to enjoy the game a little more." Callaway was born in LaGrange, Georgia in 1919, and was a distant cousin of the great golfer Bobby Jones, founder of the Masters and Augusta National Golf Club. Callaway's entrepreneurial spirit first became apparent at the age of 10 when he earned $150 by selling copies of Literary Digest and used the money to buy some peach tress. He sold the first harvest for $750. During the Second World War, Callaway was the US Army's procurement officer for cotton goods. Later he went into the textile business, eventually becoming, at the age of 48, president of Burlington Industries, before resigning after five years in 1973. He changed course and bought a 150-acre site in Temecula, California where he established the Callaway Vineyard and Winery. His white wines soon earned a high reputation and were served at the Queen's US bicentennial luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York in 1976. Callaway sold the company for $14 million in 1981 and a year later bought a four-man golf equipment company called Hickory Sticks USA for $400,000. Last year Callaway Golf, as it became, had sales of $840 million. Naming the company after himself made Callaway work harder. "The stakes are higher," he said. With the designer Dick Helmstetter, he set about creating a new range of clubs. "I like the creative force," he said, "to create a new product where you are creating new jobs and opportunities and products people have never had before." The Big Berta was named after the First World War cannon produced at the ironworks of Baron von Krupp in Germany. Inevitably, the Great Big Berta and the Biggest Big Bertha followed. Callaway's marketing background ensured the clubs were promoted as no other golf equipment had been before. The slogan he used was "demonstrably superior and pleasingly different". He signed up players such as Colin Montgomerie, John Daly, Johnny Miller and Annika Sorenstam to represent the company but also used Bill Gates, Alice Cooper and Celine Dion in advertising campaigns. The need for continual development and innovation eventually brought Callaway into confrontation with the game's authorities. The use of titanium in the heads of clubs allowed designers to make the clubfaces thinner and thinner. But the Rules of Golf do not permit there to be a "springlike effect" in which the ball trampolines off the clubface. In 1998 the United States Golf Association introduced a test procedure, which the Callaway ERC driver duly failed. As a result, the club is banned for competitions in America, Mexico and Canada, but can be used elsewhere because the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, who administers the rules in the rest of the world, have so far not adopted the USGA's test procedure, or indeed any of their own. Callaway argued that while the top professionals in Tour event should have limitations placed on the equipment they can use, there should be none for recreational golfers. Throughout his career, Callaway was energised by people telling him he could not do something. "I like to prove people wrong," he said. "I'm a contrarian." When he started producing golf balls as well as clubs, he named the first one "Rule 35". There are 34 rules in golf - the 35th, Callaway said, "should be having fun". Some of Callaway's products are unashamedly expensive but as well as cashing in on the boom in golf, he also helped create it. "Ely's genius," said Tim Finchem, commissioner of the US PGA Tour, "as demonstrated through his development of innovative golf equipment and unique marketing strategies, has clearly helped to propel golf to new heights over the past 20 years." Ely Reeves Callaway, businessman and golf equipment manufacturer: born LaGrange, Georgia 3 June 1919; president, Callaway Golf 1982-2001; married Lucinda Villa (two sons, one daughter); died Rancho Santa Fe, California 5 July 2001. ~ Picture of Ely Reeves Callaway from S9.com Biographical Dictionary

CALLAWAY, b. Abt. 1911, Wayne Co., IN. I would like to thank CFA
Member, Don Kellaway for sharing information about two "Mystery" families in
last month's newsletter; one Kellaway and one
Callaway.
Donna:
Re: Mystery Kellaway and
Callaway
Amy Kellaway is
a descendant of Philip Kellaway of Port Hope,
Ontario through his 3rd son Wm. M. Kellaway b1863 in Canada
and who was living on Melville St. in Rochester in 1912
according to the Rochester city directory of that year.
Since I knew William M. passed away in 1912 I did not pursue
the family any further as I assumed that he was single.
Apparently not, therefore I would suspect that Amy is a
great grand-daughter of Philip Kellaway.
Re
Joshua and
Joseph Callaway, I believe that they are the same family that
was living in Huron County in 1871 and then after selling
their land in 1879 Joseph was found in Manitoba and Joshua
b1846 was found living Carleton Place, Ontario in the 1881
census of Ontario. Joshua was working as a travelling agent,
had 3 daughters and his wife was shown as Anna. Joshua nor
his family were found in the 1901 Ontario census. The name
John Hanna is likely Johanna.
Cheers, Don
quinte at kos.netI would
like to thank Tim Callaway for sharing the following information
with us about the Rev. Norwick Kelloway. Can anyone identify him
and tell us about his family line? He is a
"Mystery
Kelloway".
Hello, Donna; I always
read the CFA newsletters and find them so informative. I'm
presently researching a PhD dissertation in local religious
history and came across the name of a Rev. Norwick Kelloway
who was the pastor for a time of Knox United Church in
Calgary, Alberta, Canada, (where I live) back in 1934. From
what I gather in the documents I've encountered, he was
quite liberal in his theology which would be in keeping with
the history of the United Church of Canada, a 1925
amalgamation of Methodists, Congregationalists and
Presbyterians.

twcallaway at shaw.caNew CFA Member, D'Ann Green has brought us a mystery to solve. Does anyone recognize this Sarah Callaway who supposedly married William Hoy. Hi Donna,
I did a little bit of
searching today and one person had that William & Sarah Callaway
Hoy's daughter, Sarah Hoy married Edward Brown.
William & Sarah Hoy's son, Jones Callaway, was captured from
Hoy's Station along with John Callaway, son of Richard &
Elizabeth Jones Callaway. This happened in 1782.

Query # 524
Dear Warwick Kellaway, Editor's Note - Following is CFA Member, Dr. Bruce Callaway's response:
We
know a little of this Robert Kellaway as an email I wrote to
our team in 2000
indicates.
"Towards the end of the rule of
Henry V111 there was considerable concern within the
kingdom with respect to the
production of glass. It was being required in large
quantities for churches homes and Manors, it was of poor
quality and under the threat from the importation of
Venetian workers who obviously had higher skills in its
production. By the time of Elizabeth 1 it is recorded that
there were no more than fifteen glass manufactories in the
whole of England. In 1589 it was proposed by a new patent
issued by the Privy Council to reduce this number to two.
Thomas Mefflyn was granted a Royal licence to "practice the art feat and mistery of melting and making all manner of glasses with sea and other pit coal". Since the use of wood had been prohibited prior to this for the manufacture of glass, both because of the denudation of the southern forests and the "offense of the smell" now drifting from the Surrey Chiddingfer Glass into the more populace London. The idea of production of high quality glass from coal was attractive to many people. Mafflynn died before his patent could be put to the test. His assign to the patent was Robert Kellaway"!!!
Much research ensued, but Robert's origins could not be tied
down. Our interests were obvious if you were to view the
Coat of Arms of the Callaway/Kellaway Family (the names are
interchangeable) viz. 4 pears between Crossed glaziers
nippers in saltire, but the origins of this
ancient glass related COA predates said Robert by some three
centuries and you would be aware that they also predate
their use in the COA of The Worshipful Company in London.
Interestingly, Percival was also backed in addition to
Thelwall and Kellaway by Mansell and Zouch (a la Ashley de
la).
Whilst
we cannot at this stage clearly identify Robert Kellaway's
ancestry (He was probably of Lillington or Bapton and
possibly related to Sir John C/K of Rockbourne, Hants), The
C/Ks at this time were exceedingly wealthy, had huge estates
in Devon, Wiltshire etc. which they subsequently lost.
Any
research that you may subsequently achieve for this most
interesting guy would be appreciated. Coincidentally, what
is the "Glass Circle of London"?
Sincerely,
Bruce
bruce at callaway.com.auEditor's Note - The Glass Circle is an organization in London of members with collections of antique glass. Read about the history of The Glass Circle at their web site: http://www.glasscircle.org/
Query # 525
Dear Donna
We were formerly members of the Callaway Family
Association. The Callaways were my husband's family and
since he died, I have not been a member.
My daughter and I spent two days last week in the
Georgia Archives and I spent one additional day in the Troup
County Archives trying to ascertain the parents of David
Callaway. I submitted to you about six or seven years ago
the genealogy of the Callaway family here in Montgomery
County. David Callaway was born in 1794 in Wilkes County. He
married Arabella Butler in Wilkes County in 1818. David died
in Montgomery County in 1851 and Arabella in 1861. Sherrill
Williams had attached our David to Joseph and Sabrina
Callaway, but she has not been able to furnish us any proof
of this connection.
I found a Bible record for Joseph and Sabrina Callaway
in the Callaway surname files at the Georgia Archives
Tuesday. The cover sheet for this Bible record stated it was
a "photostatic copy of births, marriages and deaths from
Joseph Callaway Bible (gggrandfather of Maud Callaway Hays),
original in possession of Troy Callaway, Chattanooga,
Tennessee." The Bible page reads:
"Joseph Callaway Senr - was born September 21st A. D.
1754
Sabrina Callaway was born March 14th A.D. 1778
William Callaway was born April 10th A. D. 1778
______ John Callaway was born January 14th A. D. 1780
Joseph M. Callaway was born July 2nd A. D. 1782
Joshua Callaway was born Oct. 9th A. D. 1784
Luke J. Callaway was born April 8th A. D. 1787
Samuel M. Callaway was born Nov. 5th A. D. 1789
Lydia Callaway was born Oct. 3rd A. D. 1793
Jesse Callaway was born June 3rd A. D. 1796
Woodson Callaway was born Oct.12th A. D. 1803
Elizabeth Callaway was born Nov. 20th A. D. 1807
Mary Callaway was born April 17th A. D. 1811"
Then followed several marriages and then a number of deaths.
Nowhere did I find an entry for David Callaway in this
family. Additionally, according to the above Bible record,
Lydia Callaway was born October 3rd, 1793. According to his
tombstone, David was born July 1, 1794. There is a period of
barely 9 months between Lydia's birth and the birth of David
Callaway. It is possible, but not likely.
I gave Mr. Clark Johnson, director of the Troup County
Archives, a copy of this Bible record. I was fortunately the
only patron in the Archives on Friday and Mr. Johnson
generously spent about 5 hours with me, analyzing the
problem and looking at every reference book in the library
that pertained to the Callaways or Wilkes County. He was
wonderful because he knew all the Callaway family members by
name and most of their connections. He agreed with me that
he did not think David was the son of Joseph and Sabrina
Callaway, but we did not identify any other possible
parents.
My daughter is quite active in the Florida DAR and she would
like to apply for a supplemental DAR application on David
Callaway's father if he was a soldier. Has anyone else
managed to identify David's parents in the six or seven
years since I communicated with you last?
This is a confusing family because brothers named their
children many of the same names without specifying who was
who. I humbly ask for your assistance in attaching David
Callaway to the correct parents and finding proof of the
connection. There are several Revolutionary soldiers above
David that are of interest to us. I also have a dead end
Bryant line in Hancock County that I haven't been able to
solve, but will not bring it up here.
We are making progress on Arabella Butler whose mother was
Elizabeth Giles of Savannah, married to John Butler and
later James Armstrong of Wilkes County. Elizabeth had
four Butler children, three sons and Arabella. Two of the
sons died before reaching adulthood. Elizabeth came to Coosa
County, Alabama, in the 1840s and died there in 1859. They
took her body back to Wilkes County and she is buried
beside Rev. Armstrong, her second husband.
If you know of anyone in the Family Association who might be
able to help my daughter, we would very much appreciate your
telling us how to contact those persons.
Sincerely,
Billie Capell,
Widow of Clifton Powell Capell Editor's Note - At this time we have connected David Callaway to the Peter Callaway line through Joseph Callaway and his wife Nancy Ragan. This currently seems the most likely connection. Query # 526 Submitter - Linda Callaway Hinkle, Duluth, GA email - condougls at comcast.net Some years back, in 2003, we traded emails about my descendants, the Callaways from Jackson, TN. You had provided some information to me at the time. Recently, I have gotten back into tracing other relatives of my great-great grandparents, William S. and Elizabeth M. Brown Callaway, and have made contact with the grandchildren of 3 of my grandfather's brothers and sisters. No one seems to know too much about the history of the family, I seem to have more information and pictures than anyone else, and have pieced together a lot about what happened to many of William S. and Elizabeth's grandchildren. The first record of William S. Callaway and his wife Elizabeth was from when they were married on 1/23/1840, in Jackson, Madison County, TN. Elizabeth's name was listed as Mary Elizabeth M. Brown on the Marriage License, though all census records and the recording of her tombstone at Riverside Cemetery show Elizabeth as her first name. William S. Callaway was born 9/11/1811 and Elizabeth on 4/30/1812, so they were 28 and 27 when they married. The 1850 census showed that with William and Elizabeth were living two children by the last name Brown, Charles H. Brown, 15, born in VA and Sarah J. Brown, 11, born in TN. Sarah would have been born around 1839, the year before William and Elizabeth married. As Elizabeth was a little old at 27 for a first marriage, it is possible her first marriage was to a Mr. Brown, and Charles and Sarah were her children from this first marriage. She would have been about 22 or 23 when Charles H. Brown was born. William and Elizabeth had 5 children. John A. was the oldest, born in 1841, and died at 1871, with no sign of a marriage or children. William J. was the second child, born approximately 1845. Elizabeth Mary (Lizzie) was born in 1849. Ann N. was born in 1851 and died in 1860 as a child. James Hubbard Callaway was the last child, born 1853, and also died as a child in 1861. There were only 2 of the 5 children that lived to be an adult, marry and have record of children. I found out what happened to Julia Blake Callaway, who was born in Jackson, TN 3/3/1872. I had written to the owners of Hollywood Cemetery here in Atlanta, as I knew from a funeral announcement that my great-grandmother, Emma Kirk Callaway (married to William J. Callaway, William S.'s son) was buried there. It is a cemetery that is not kept up by the owners of the land now, is very overgrown, and all of the records are on paper burial cards. The man at Lincoln Cemetery could not find Emma's record but found a W. J. Callaway, and the date of death matched what I had on paper from my grandmother. Buried in the same plot was a Julia B. Hoyal, who died at 43 on 2/7/1915, and an Elizabeth Hoyal, who died at 17 on 5/15/1916. The Atlanta Journal newspaper has historic online archives available for purchase through the 1930's. I searched around the dates of their deaths and found the announcement for both Julia and Elizabeth, who was Julia's daughter, Minnie Elizabeth Hoyal. Julia's announcement said she was survived by daughters Mrs. Nathan Williamson and Ms. Minnie Hoyal, and Minnie Elizabeth's announced she was survived by sister Mrs. Nathan Williamson of Montgomery, AL, as well as other Callaway relatives (my grandfather and brothers and sisters). Julia was listed in the 1900 census as a widow, so her husband must have died around 1898-1899, as Minnie Elizabeth would have been born around 1899.
I'm still not any closer to tracing the Callaways back to VA (or W VA) where they were born per the census records (William S. and Elizabeth Brown Callaway), though I'm thinking that Brown was not Elizabeth's maiden name. As she was 28 when she married William, kind of late for a first marriage at that time, and there were 2 children living with them in the 1850 census with the name Brown (Charles H. Brown and Sarah J. Brown), I think they could have been Elizabeth's children from a first marriage, possibly she moved with William to Jackson, TN after her husband's death. They married in Jackson, TN on 1/22/1840, within a year of Sarah J. Brown's birth. One of William J.'s (their son) children was named Charles Brown Callaway, and the first daughter was Sarah (after Sarah Brown) Eliza (after Emma Kirk Callaway's mother). I have already traded information with several of the Callaway "11"'s grandchildren, but would appreciate contact or information from anyone else who may believe they are related to this branch of the family or may have information about them. Linda Callaway Hinkle, Duluth, GA. Editor's Note - I would like to thank Linda for sharing

Query # 527 I am looking for a Virgie Lillian Callaway who married in Navarro County, Texas. She married Gray Hopkins. Gray's name was Willie Gray Hopkins. Willie Gray was born on October 9, 1890 in Ellis County, Texas. Married September 14, 1913 in Navarro County, Texas Died June 18, 1968 in Dallas, Dallas, Texas. He was divorced according to his Death Certificate. I do not have any exact information on Virgie but the 1920 census shows they were living in Kaufman Co., Texas. She was age 21 years old and born in Texas. The 1930 Kaufman County Census shows her age 31 and born in Texas. I do have a Virgie Hopkins that died in Tucson, Pima Co., AZ Jan 1985. It shows her birth as March 26, 1899. This fits the above information. I do not know if this Virgie is who I am looking for. Gray is a cousin of mine. I would like to find out who the parents of Virgie were.

Callaway was a successful innovator and businessman who
devoted the last 20 years of his life to helping those
accursed golfers who find the seemingly trivial act of
hitting a little white ball endlessly frustrating - that is,
the majority. Callaway's products were good enough to be
used by the leading professionals, but were aimed at the
mass market.
