The Civil War Letters of Joshua K. Callaway -

Joshua K. Callaway's performance during the Battle on Missionary Ridge earns him mention in his brigade commander's official report and praise for his bravery and gallantry from a fellow soldier.

Encampment 28th Ala. Regt. Inft.
Manigault's Brigade
Hindman's Division, Hardee's Corps
Army of Tennessee near Dalton, Ga.
December 5th 1863

Mrs. J. K. Callaway,
It now falls to my unhappy lot to write you a short letter letting you know what has become of your much beloved and Devoted Husband Lieut. Joshua K. Callaway  who fell in the late Battle on Missionary Ridge, mortally wounded while rallying his Company he was shot through the bowels with a miney ball. We picked him up, started off the field with him when he asked us to lay him down and let him die. We laid him down. We were then compelled to leave him. I don't know that he is dead but feel satisfied that he is dead. In his death the Country lost one of her bravest sons, the Company to which he belonged a gallant and much beloved officer. Never can his place in the Co., be filled. I feel at a loss without him as we started out in a mess together and remained together till he was wounded. I have every reason to believe that he is gone to a better land where there is no more war.

I want you to write to me as soon as you get this letter and let me know what disposition to make of his things. If it be your wish I will try and send all his things home. His bedding will demand a good price here and if you are willing or rather I would I can sell them and send you the money. He has left one month's pay account which it will take to pay the debts he owes in the Regt. which I shall collect and pay his debts. The remainder I will forward on to you also will send you a final statement of the balance wages due him.

The company and officers deeply sympathize with you in his loss but what is your and our loss is his Eternal gain.
W. F. Aycock
Lieut. Co. K 28th Ala. Regt.

And so Joshua K. Callaway, aged twenty-nine, became one of the war's six hundred thousand statistics, his last moments or hours - unknown; his final resting place - unknown.

The CFA DNA Project is moving along rapidly now. Sherrill Williams is gathering male Callaway descendants to cover as many Callaway lines as possible. If you descend from any of the following lines, and would like to participate in the project, please contact her.

Needed by the CFA Genealogist:
(1)  Male direct line descendants from Col. Richard Callaway of VA and Boonesboro, KY.
(2)  Male direct line descendants from William, son of Peter Callaway, Sr. of MD/DE.
(3)  Male direct line descendants from Peter, Jr., son of Peter Callaway, Sr. of MD/DE.

I know everyone will be sorry to hear that Bill Callaway, CFA Member and past Director, in British Columbia suffered a heart attack this past March 2nd. While he had to cut short his Yuma, Arizona winter retreat and return to BC, we hope he is resting comfortably and on the mend. We all send him our best wishes, and hopes for a fast and full recovery. Get Well Quick, Bill.

Thank you to LaNeal Turner for letting us know of her grandmother's passing. We offer our condolences to LaNeal and her family. Dixie Neal Callaway was the granddaughter of Rev. Joseph Pitt Callaway.

I do not remember if I informed you that Dixie Neal Callaway Johnson, my grandmother, passed away on Feb 22, 2004.

Also, while taking pictures of the grave site of Joseph Pitt Callaway in Temple, Texas, I came across two graves of Callaways I do not know.  H. M. Callaway Jr., Mar 17 1915 Mar 21, 1915,  (possibly a son of Hosea Mason Callaway) was next to J. P. Callaway.  Freddie Lee Callaway, 1894-1895, was also in the Callaway plot.  I have asked different family members, but no one knows these two.  I checked the family index at CFA, but did not find them.  Any ideas?
Thanks, LaNeal

Sometimes digging in the past can produce some very interesting results. Our thanks to Charles and Mary Anna Callaway, for sharing their supernatural experience with us.

Hello to all our "Callaway Cousins" from
Cal (Charles) and Mac (Mary Anna) Callaway, Mesquite, TX.

Here is our spooky story about one of our first experiences in our family quest. I hope that you find it interesting.

Our Search for Caleb Calloway of North Carolina
or
Do our ancestors talk to us?

by Charles P. Callaway

After our wedding in February 1999, we traveled to the Tidewater Peninsula of Virginia to visit my sister and introduce my little wife, Mary Anna, to all my Virginia kinfolk. Of course while there, we went about our usual family history searching. In the little community of Charles City, we found a wonderful small, one-room genealogical collection of early colonial information related to that area and the colonial period.  At that time, we were chasing Thomas Calloway, who had been one of the Cavaliers of the Virginia colony.  Living in that area, he possibly might have been Caleb‘s father.  Hidden in a corner, I found an old book of maps from the early colonial times which included the Albemarle Sound region of North Carolina. Remembering that our Caleb Calloway with wife Elizabeth Lawrence had been a land owner, magistrate, and one of the earliest settlers of the region that became Albemarle County, I copied the pages covering this area,  - Caleb’s land which was reported to have been located on the South bank of Yeopim Creek which flows into Albemarle Sound. All this was clearly marked on the old, musty maps.

We soon departed Hampton, Virginia and drove through the Great Dismal Swamp to Elizabeth City, North Carolina and, from there launched our quest for Caleb. In the early afternoon of a beautiful, warm cloudless day, we proceeded to Chowan County on US Highway 17. Referring to the old colonial map, at the Perquimans County line where you cross into Chowan, driving West, I noticed a road to my left which appeared to head South toward the Sound. Luck was with us because this road followed one shown on the old colonial map. It appeared that this road was the same as in colonial times when my old map had been drawn. We headed South through some small villages and finally spotted a sign pointing to a fish camp to the right. Stopping at the bait and tackle shop, we looked at an oceanographic chart of the area, but to my dismay, the legend was right over where Yeopim Creek was located. I finally found a crusty old local fisherman and asked him how to get to the creek. He said that the only way was by boat. I returned to the counter and asked the proprietor if there was a route by land to the South bank of the creek. He said sure, go back to the paved road, turn South. After about a half mile, you’ll see a dirt road to the left. Follow this to the end and turn right on another dirt road. Follow this to the end and you’ll be there. Excitedly jumping into the car we started out. True to his words, the roads were exactly where he said and we ended up in someone’s back yard but at our goal, the South Bank of Yeopim Creek.

Yeopim Creek and Pier

The land which was about ten or twelve feet above the surface of the creek  was lush, perfectly flat, and obviously good farming soil. The creek was, to us Texans, a real river being about a thousand yards across. Looking in every direction, we could not see a single human, or sign of habitat. Totally calm and tranquil on this perfect day, the waters mirrored the remains of ancient cypress trees and the lovely, cloudless azure sky.

Just below where we parked, down a short path was a pier jutting out into the clear, perfectly smooth water. We descended the path and strolled onto the pier to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the breathtaking scene. Suddenly, out of nowhere, there came a most violent, strong wind spiraling about us and rustling the water which had been so tranquil. Now white caps and wind streaks churned the water which an instant before had been absolutely calm. We looked at each other and by silent, mutual agreement retreated to the bank to seek the safety of our car from what we perceived to be a sudden afternoon storm. As soon as we reached the door of our car, the wind immediately ceased and the scene became again totally, completely tranquil.

Having been a career military aviator for many years, and well trained in weather and meteorological phenomenon, I looked to the sky in every direction, feeling certain that we had experienced a sudden downburst from a storm cloud, but the sky was completely clear, with not a cloud in sight. The wind and the water had returned to absolutely calm. Somewhat apprehensively, we returned to the pier and resumed marveling at the wonderful, tranquil sight which had returned. Suddenly, the wind again began to blow about 35 miles per hour, swirling and gusting in a fitful manner. The ancient trees above us whipped violently back and forth in a frenzy, slashing the sky with vengeance. The water again leapt, splashed and swirled in a most violent manner. We quickly returned to the bank and again, just as suddenly as it had sprung up, the wind ceased, and the tranquility and calm beauty were immediately restored. Neither of us spoke a word, we just looked at each other, nodded, and got in our car and left Yeopim Creek.

Much later, we finally discussed our experience and both feel that our ancestors had come to us saying in their only way:

“You have been diligently hunting for us and come from afar;
We just wanted to tell you that here we are.”

This was my first supernatural experience in our family search but others were to later come.

Bird For Feast Flew Into His Arms

A flock of wild geese became lost in a windstorm the other night at Elwood, Madison Co., Indiana, and being attracted or blinded by the electric lights, one of the birds, weighing twelve pounds, flew against Fred Fornshell, knocking him down. The goose proved to be a fine specimen, and it was placed in a wire cage to be fattened. It will be the main feature of a wedding feast immediately after Easter, cards having been previously issued announcing the marriage of the young man to Miss Lola B. (June) Callaway.

James was born May 15, 1824, probably in Cornwall. Having migrated, apparently on a freighter, he settled in Stanislaus County, (Emeryville) California. On January 19, 1862, at the age of 37, he was married, on his ranch, in Stanislaus Co. to Martha Maxwell. They had four children. James died in March 1907. His grave as well as Martha's and three of their son's are located in the farming community of Woodland, California, Yolo Co.

He is not relisted in the 1879 Great Register. I think he moved to Tehama Co., CA.

I received this from a cousin a few years back:

WOODLAND DAILY DEMOCRAT, JUNE 25, 1923, WOODLAND, CA  (YOLO CO.)
ARTERY CUT BY SACK NEEDLE

Grant Kellaway, a member of a harvesting crew on the Clarence Day estate, southwest of Woodland, came near losing his life this morning when a mere piece of needle with which he was sewing sacks snapped and cut the artery over the left temple, causing him to bleed profusely and seriously. Although only a piece of wire it is stated from the Woodland sanitarium that the force of the blow was such that it produced a deep gash over the temple. Kellaway was rushed to the sanitarium here, his entire body covered with blood oozing from the wound. The injury was such, however, that the flow could be quickly stopped and cut tissues brought together, but it will be a long time before the injured man regains his strength as a result of the great loss of blood. 

I have always wanted to know more about my Kellaway family and am looking forward to receiving the newsletters.

I descend as follows:

Here's some news from Russ Callaway, CFA Technologist about CFA's DNA project.

DNA NEWS

We are progressing well into the DNA testing of the family of Calla/oway, Kellaway, and Caillouet family lines. We have found close matches and await many more tests that are in
process. We have had several volunteers that are paying for their own tests to be added to the CFA database of DNA.

We need males that are in the 'CALEB' line.

If you have the paper trail back to Joseph or Peter let us know so we can refine the needed volunteers in the future.

John Nelms Store Accounts for the Surnames A-C.
Plus the Forward to the book and Surnames from Debts Due to Robert Handy's Estate.

FOREWARD
 From "John Nelms Store Accounts of Salisbury" FHL 975.225/Sl u38j. Transcribed from the Original store ledgers by John E. Jacob. (I am sharing these with verbal permission from John E. Jacob)

*NOTE: I am paraphrasing the account made by John E. Jacob Jr. of Salisbury Maryland, and I feel indebted to him for the information he has shared with all, in this book, that he put together to share with others.

"John became the Storekeeper of Salisbury by 1758. The Salisbury area included about 15 houses, plus the Venables Mill, the store and a tavern. William Winder was probably the owner before John Nelm's acquired it. (John rented it from William for 10 years before he acquired the store & more acreage.)

The site of the business is now under, or just north of, U.S. 50 after it has crossed the Wicomico River and started up the hill on its east bank. Two of the original ledgers, "D" & "I", still exist with names of customers & what they bought and traded.

Customers with approved credit were entitled to one year of free credit after which 6% interest per year was added. John Nelms neither bought more than he could pay for, nor charged more
than his customers "could say grace over". One of his ledgers states that he had 130/0/0 in specie in a pot. He maintained his own cash reserve.

What did he sell? Rum, brandy and wine, Sugar, spices and tropical fruit. Clothing materials, sewing supplies, wares for head, feet, and hands, tools and harnesses. Books and tobacco products for relaxation. He also provided kitchen utensils and candlesticks. He had for sale of trade, virtually all a local buyer could want at a price he could pay.

One significant omission from the things Nelms took in trade, was tobacco. There is no record in either ledger that Nelms dealt in tobacco. By 1760 the country near Salisbury had shifted to a corn and lumber economy. There was no tobacco inspection station in Salisbury, and he may have been unwilling to take the risk that he could make a profit on the Eastern Shore tobacco which was marketed in Glasgow rather than in London because of its inferior grade.

Some of the things that Nelms did ship were: lumber, shingles and some corn directly to the West Indies, and maybe received some shipments of rum, sugar and lemons in return. Unfortunately, none of his purchase records have survived. What IS known is that he visited Baltimore frequently and may have purchased most of his stock from wholesalers there.

The ledgers are fascinating because of what they tell us about local customs. Christmas was not a bonanza for the merchant. Sales in December were at nearly a twelve month low. There is no evidence of the purchase of items as Christmas gifts and there are recorded sales on Dec. 25th,
so it was not a holiday. Spring purchases were connected with the upcoming planting season rather than for new clothes, or "Easter Bonnets".

Business was done on credit. There was little hard cash or specie available. Customers received one year's credit without interest. Thereafter, it was charged at 6% annum. Most cash payments on account were made in the Spring, trade credits for farm products came in during the Fall. Making shingles was pretty much a winter occupation, so shingles were delivered and credited in the Winter or Spring.

Nests of rubs were a item sought after by the storeowner. The tubs ranged in size from a quarter peck to wash tubs, all nesting inside the wash tub. These tubs continued to be made and sold into the machine age when the nests with wire bindings brought $1.00 against .50 cents for those with split wooden bands.

Myrtle wax was used for skin care by the women of the day.

The ledgers, as genealogical treasures, are packed with family information. If a wife bought on her husband's account, it was so listed. Also if children bought or took delivery of items, they were named also. If a widow succeeded to her husband's account or paid off his bill, this fact
was carefully noted, as was if a new husband had his wife's old account charged to his name, this was recorded under both accounts. This means that we can tell who the new wife was and the approximate date of marriage. Family use of credit was common, there are many charges recorded by siblings, and even cousins. Every purchase showed the name and relationship of the buyer to the debtor.

Another great aspect of the records: Was an ancestor a "rummy"? Did they pay their bills or did Nelms have to sue for recovery? Did the man buy silks and satins for his females, or only the needles and thread to sew together clothes of country linen woven on the loom at home? Did he show his piety by the purchase of a Bible or a book of sermons? Or could he read at all? Did he buy silk kerchief and silver show buckles for himself while buying cheaper items for the family?

Therefore, there is much to be learned by reading store accounts of ancestors.

All of the names in the ledgers are listed alphabetically, and the information from their account's are listed in chronological order of each transaction. This shows the period of business activity and should tie in with dates of birth or death where known.

In addition to Salisbury, Nelms trading area served the area north to the Nanticoke and east to the Pocomoke. West beyond Quantico business was spotty and this was also true to the south and southeast indicating the location of stores in White Haven, Princess Anne, and Snow Hill.
However, there were customers from the islands indicating that people from Smith and Deal Island found their way up the Wicomico to do business.

There is also a list of definitions that John E. Jacob included that will make the ancestor's purchases more understandable."

Hi, Donna.

I came across this article after doing a web search for Colonel Richard Callaway.

Thank you to CFA Member, Gene Callaway of Germantown, TN for identifying a "Mystery Callaway" in the 2/04 newsletter, and providing detailed information about him. This makes Gene a two time Hall of Fame Hero.

Donna,

Would like to identify the "Mystery Callaway", John I. Callaway of Oglethorpe Co., GA connected to the "Mirriam McCommons Slave Narrative."  which was in the CFA February Newsletter. 

He is Jonathan (John) Isaac Callaway and his line goes:
Peter
John
Edward
Isaac
Isaac, Jr., m. Mary Barrett
George m. Eliz. Milner
Jonathan (John) Isaac Callaway b.  1-7-1843  d. 7-15-1929 Oglethorpe Co., GA m. Elizabeth Moore Phelan b. 1851 (Evidently the information given in the newsletter was his Confederate service record)

Isaac Callaway, (CFA Genealogist Sherrill William's ancestor) and Job Callaway, Sr. (my ancestor) were brothers.  The other connection that I have to this family is contained in an article that appeared in the 1997 Callaway Journal on page 39. 
 
Jonathan (John) Callaway's wife, Elizabeth Moore Phelan, was the sister of George Richard Phelan I, who married Julia Tate Hunt.  She was also the sister of Kate Phelan who married Wade Hampton III.    Julia Hunt Phelan inherited the family home from her father Col. William Richardson Hunt and mother, Sara Elizabeth Driver Hunt.   The home was built by her grandfather Eli Driver and wife Julia Tate Scruggs.  All these people came from Georgia.

While going through documents in the home I found photographs of Jonathan I. Callaway and his wife Elizabeth Moore Phelan. 

The story ends very sadly.  I painted two 4x5 portraits of Col. William Richard Hunt and his wife Elizabeth Driver Hunt which hung in the Hunt-Phelan Home in Memphis, TN, until its owner sold at auction the contents of the home including  valuable antiques, documents, letters, paintings, silver, crystal, heirlooms that had been in the home since the 1840's.

A nice note from a returning CFA Member. Welcome back Hugh. We missed you.

You are doing a tremendous job as editor of the Callaway Family Newsletter.  I have really enjoyed both your work and also that of Bill Callaway. I was a Callaway Family member in the seventies, eighties and in the nineties.  I failed to renew my membership sometime ago, but am returning today.  So here I am. I have traveled all over the world with our Army but have retired and now teach in a Catholic school in Chicago, IL.  I have worked for many years trying to link our ancestors, and the link has finally been made.  Too bad our relative, Albert Quiellen, did not live to see this happen.

Ebenezer Callaway, Jr.
Martin K. Callaway
Joseph H. Callaway

And thank you to Cal Callaway, who has graciously sent us the biography he has written on John Hatton Callaway. It has been added to the CFA web site and you can read it and view many photos here.

Dear Callaway Cousins,
As promised, and after many computer problems which are finally behind us, here is my effort on tracking the family history of my great-grand uncle, John Hatton Callaway. Gathering the information was both a challenge and a lot of fun for us both. Mary Anna, having spent more than 20 years in the legal profession is a bulldog at research and a frustrated detective. She becomes really obsessed when on the trail and, as in olden movies, "always finds her man." She was a great help to me in my search for John and his descendants.

Possibly this will be informative to some of your readers. If published, I also hope that it will introduce me to more family members. Feel free to put our email address with the story. I would appreciate any correction/comment and maybe meet a distant cousin.
Yours truly,
Charles (Cal) Callaway

Don Kellaway, CFA Member in Ontario, Canada has graciously sent us the following Kellaway snippet. Does anyone have any clues to help identify this "Mystery Callaway"?

The following was from the Alberta Archives and at this point we know nothing of Ettie Elizabeth Kellaway but when the indexing of the Canadian 1901 census is done a little more on her family should be available to us.

Arthur Douglas Gregson, 1864-1936, was the tenth child of Jesse Gregson of Hawkhurst, Sussex, England. After apprenticing as a clerk, he held a seat on the Stock Exchange in London. His true interests, however, were in natural history, especially entomology. Because of tuberculosis, Arthur Gregson decided in 1890 to move to Alberta because of its climate. He took up a homestead at the mouth of the Blindman River near the town of Blackfalds, Alberta; and supported himself by trapping and selling etymological specimens to British collectors. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace; and was the founding president of the North-West Entomological Society (1899-1903, when it amalgamated with the Territorial Natural History
Society). In 1907, he married Ettie Elizabeth Kellaway. They had one son, John Douglas Gregson. In 1923 the family moved to the Comox valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

And we also offer congratulations to Don Kellaway. He has been inducted into the CFA Hall of Fame for identifying the "Mystery Callaway", Joshua Callaway from the "Callaways In the News" section of last month's newsletter (CFANet 03/04).

Hi Donna:

This information from the  1871 census of Ontario and the Huron County historical society is likely your Joshua Calloway referred to in the March newsletter. I sent this information in to CFA and it was printed in  the 1995 CFA Journal.

 Manitoba records show that he died in Winnipeg on 10 April, 1921 at 91 years. While there is a discrepancy in the age between the 1871 census of Ontario and his age in 1921, I still consider they are the same person. In the 1881 census of Manitoba we found Joseph Callaway senior and his son Joseph in Marquette, Manitoba. One of Joseph Jr.'s children Emanuel was married and
also living in Marquette, Manitoba. We also found George and  Alan John Calloway in Marquette in the same census. While we didn't find Joshua in the 1881 census this is not surprising as the early census records in Canada were less than 100% accurate.

Cheers Don

*1871 Census of Huron County, Canada

 It appears that 2 families of Callaways settled in Stanley Township of Huron County in the 1840s.  From the limited information available we would suspect that they were brothers. Joseph Callaway was born in England in 1804 and his wife Elizabeth was born the same year.

 Joseph Senior was a farmer as was his son Joseph Jr. (b. 1829).  According to the 1871 Census they were Methodist in religion while their son Joseph was Anglican.  According to county records the Callaways were farmers, settled in Huron County in 1844 and sold the property in 1879 to A. Galbraith.  The Ontario Vital Statistic Records shows Elizabeth's death as 7 February, 1880 at Bayfield, Ontario.  Her will is on file at the Registry Office in Goderich, Ontario #s 442 & 452.

 Joseph P. Jr. was a widower in 1871 and had 5 children between the ages of 13 and 19 residing with him.  The birth of his oldest son Albert John is recorded in the Weslyan Methodist Records indicating a birthdate of 5 November 1851 and his mother as Prudence Ann Callaway of Stanley Township. The other children were Capon (b.1854), Emanuel (b. 1856), George (b. 1860) and Selena (b. 1858).

 Joshua Callaway Senior was born in England in October of 1803 and passed away in Stanley Township on 8 August, 1871 and is buried in the Bayfield Cemetery.  We suspect that the Joshua (b. England in 1837) and Joseph Callaway (b. England in 1831) of the Town of Goderich are sons of Joshua's. The 1871 census shows Joshua as an Hotel-keeper and Joseph as a yeoman.

Our thanks to Peggy Hanes for submitting an excellent biography of Zachariah Calloway of Monroe Co., WV and his descendants. It is on the CFA web site and you can read it here.

Dear Donna,
I always enjoy reading the newsletter when it comes.  Apparently I am a descendant of Peter Callaway but have only bare bones information until I get to Zachariah Calloway.  The credit for this work goes to my aunt, Lavedah Craw, Mr. Hattery and Madge Callaway Carvey.  Mrs. Carvey contributed the DAR information and I think that Aunt Lavedah and Mr. Hattery corresponded for years. My aunt spent many years working on it, and now at 88 is still the genealogy specialist at the Fairmount Historical Museum. My aunt did most of this genealogy the old fashioned way back in the 1950's.  I was wondering if there is somebody who could help me fill in some blanks for her as a surprise? 
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Donna,

Thank You all so much for keeping us a history. My husband Randolph R Bratvold and I bought the homestead where his Grandparents farmed in Vernon County Wisconsin. His sister went to visit their Aunt Lee Davis in Az this past Holiday season and was given the journal from Minnie Fanta. We had always said we wanted to have a place up north saw it on the market last summer and could not pass it up. But what is very weird about our trip. We had a week vacation coming and said we were going somewhere different this past summer as we always go that direction. I the wife of Randy was on internet many hours looking here and there.

I made reservation back at the same place --Someone was pulling me there. The morning after going north he asked where did I want to head first. It just came out of my mouth "your grandparents farm." That was most of the time at the end of our days of riding his bike through the country. It was pulling at me. All and all we have a little place back where he has many good memories. We always said and have told our children we wanted to be buried up their by his Grandparents. But what was so wonderful about Minnie's Journal, we have names and in the snow a few weekends ago, we found Arch Calloway and both of his wives. One is Randy's Grandmother's Mother. How wonderful!! Now when I place flowers etc. I can do a whole family. And standing there the bitter cold day, I reminded him this is your Great Grandparents. It hit him how tight lip all had been. But his father hated the farm and left as soon as he could always returning after the wars to get back on their feet. So his sister actually lived on this property as a small child. Many feel warmth here. I  just married into this but felt so secure in this area. The owners who bought it from my husband's Grandmother when Grandfather passed have sort of adopted us as one of the kids. God Bless them for letting us buy this. Putting the sign For Sale by owner. just a little bit of history back never to leave again. I have it willed to many futures to come so all can find the secure feeling I did when I came to this state with my husband. The wild flowers and the mushrooms curling in the wood during a rain is a sight from heaven. But a huge thanks to the Calloway families that kept this history alive. John Burt originally owned the land. He is in the journal Minnie wrote. He was raised a Calloway.
Thank You again all for the history,
Mary Ann Bratvold

Donna,
Thank you for putting me on the newsletter mailing list.  I am a new member who was able to find my grandfather in the Peter I line and therefore go back to the 1600's.  I wonder if anything has been established regarding Peter's ancestors back in the "old Country" wherever that may have been.  I  am grateful that so many people have done such great work to put this information together.

Hi,

I found Deed Book 21, Franklin County, Virginia  where William Callaway of Franklin liberated and freed his slaves Perlina and her husband Abram (my Great-great-great Grandparents), and also her children Sally, Eliza, Giles (my Great-great Grandfather), Creed, Harriet, Joab,  Harden, Felix, Albert, and Milton.  William Callaway of Franklin Cty, VA set his hand and sealed it April 15, 1850, and the Franklin County court held May 6, 1850.  Perlina apparently was the main one they talked about.

It also talked about a book by John S. Salmon and Emily that Henry T. Callaway also freed his slave David at Henry's death (1853),  but I found out that my relatives were Perlina and Abram, and her son, Giles.

Now I need to find out who was this William Callaway of Franklin Cty, VA, and why did he free them in 1850.  I also found out that William Callaway was a three time VA state Rep. between 1815 and 1829.

I am also going to order the Callaway Family Assoc. Genealogy CD.

Now I need to find out who Perlina's  father was since they were all Mulatto.

Query # 150
Subject - Calloway family of Buncombe Co., NC
Submitter - Alex Hanks
email - padreahanks at aol.com

I have been researching the Calloway family of Western North Carolina for 30 years.  I am descended from Joseph Calloway of Essex County, Virginia through his son Capt. Thomas Calloway, his son Charles Calloway who married Ann ?, their son Thomas who married Jemima (Ray, we think) and their son Thomas who married Morning Morena Nanney. These were all in the part of Buncombe County which became Yancey County. 

My line of research has centered on the generations descended from the sons and daughter of Thomas Calloway, born c. 1785, son of Charles & Ann Calloway. They had 4 sons and one daughter: William, born c. 1814 married Mary Hensley, James C. born c. 1815 married Nancy Guffey, Berry C. born c. 1817 married Rebecca ?, Thomas born c. 1823 married Morning Morena Nanney, Rhoda born c. 1820 never married. 

I noticed in some records concerning Latt Calloway of Reems Creek, Buncombe county, that you have his father listed as William Calloway who married Margaret C. Maney. Some records I have seen show this William married to a Margaret Whitt, married 2/10/1875; their children are as follows:
Marion William married Maude Cordelia Johnson
Latt married (1) Martha Wallace (2) Bess Worley
John
Dellie
Mollie
Ollie
Bessy married Rufus Wayne Bradley
Ellie

Now, can you confirm that this William Calloway who married either Margaret Maney or Margaret Whitt is in fact the son of William Calloway & Mary Hensley?  Also, could he be the father of John Samuel Calloway, born April 1876 who married Cynthia Black, lived in Flat Creek area of Buncombe county in 1900.  I have a lot of info on his children and grandchildren but can't confirm his parents. 

There are 2 Calloway men I am having trouble fitting into the Western North Carolina Calloways, John Samuel Calloway and James Berry Calaway both of whom lived in the Flat Creek, Ivy districts of Buncombe county.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and will be glad to share what I have.
Thanks,
Alex Hanks

Editor's Note - I believe that John Samuel Calloway is the son of James M. and Catherine Calloway. They are listed on the 1880 Ashe Co., NC census, Jefferson Twp, Dist 15, page 505B.

James B. Calloway may be the son of Moses and Parthena Calloway. They are listed on the 1880 Yadkin Co., NC census, Boonville Twp, Dist 225, page 436B.

Hi Donna,

I was interested to see the reference to Puncknowle in the Newsletter, from Stuart Lamb.
My GGG/grandfather William Thomas Kellaway/Calloway was married there to Sarah Purchase in 1787, and my GG/grandfather John born the same year. I thought I had good Parish Register records, but do not have Elizabeth Kellaway in 1775 or 1796. I do have Elizabeth Kellaway marrying John Groves in 1791, and another John Kellaway, who I once thought might have been mine, marrying Hannah Trevett in 1818. The name Trevett seems familiar somewhere else in the locality also. Probably Elizabeth is a relative, but so far I do not have a direct connection.

Thanks, Donna.

Yes, I would like to be added to the Callaway Family Association monthly email newsletter. The records I have only go back to my great grandfather, Thomas Callaway who married Rebekah Shook in 1870. We are supposed to be connected to Daniel Boone, through his daughter,
Jemimah, who married a Callaway. I have a small history of the Webster County Callaways, compiled by Dr. Guy Callaway. Unfortunately, he was a little vague with his dates and often didn't record dates at all. I would love to find more about this family. Incidentally, my grandmother, Mary Melissa Callaway, always insisted that "our" branch always spelled the name
Callaway. Knowing the penchant for misspelling, careless writing of records, I have always had my doubts.
Thanks for telling me about the newsletter.

Editor's Note - CFA records show that this Thomas Callaway is a descendant of the U.S. immigrant, Peter Callaway line of Maryland. It is the U.S. immigrant, Joseph Callaway line of Virginia that connects to Daniel Boone. This Thomas Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
