THE CALLAWAY FAMILY ASSOCIATION Volume VIII No. 4
Always regard
with esteem the name you were given; The Editor's Corner The Callaway/Kellaway Family in Medieval Times Some extraordinary things are happening in the research being conducted by our English Research Team. Our family beginnings are being documented back to Medieval Times. How many surname genealogy societies can say that? Very few, if any others, can say that! Take a stroll through 23 generations of our ancestors going back to 1000 A.D. You can view the genealogy report on our web site here. It is a remarkable accomplishment and an ongoing project. There will be many additions and probably some corrections as more information is gathered. It is a very exciting time for the Callaway Family Association! Here's a great big "HIP HIP HOORAY" to all those whose tireless efforts are building a picture of our family for us . . . and for all those who come after us.
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" 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 It is with sadness that we learned about the passing of CFA Member, Carmen Roetzel's father. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carmen and all of her family.
Donna,
He served in the Army from 1952-1954. He fought in the Korean conflict and earned the rank of Tech Sergeant. He was awarded the Korean Service Medal with two bronze service stars, the United Nations Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and a Good Conduct Medal. After his military service, Bernie spent many years as an aircraft mechanic with Douglas Aircraft, Air Mod and Lear Siegler. Bernie settled in Jacksonville, Arkansas and retired from Falcon Jet in 1993. Although Jacksonville, Arkansas was his home for 42 years, his family home is Tahlequah, Oklahoma. He will always be affectionately known by his family for his love of fishing, camping, good natured competitiveness in any game and his "world famous daddy burgers". He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Lois Callaway, three daughters, Jennifer Heinrich and husband Gary of Cabot, AR, Terry Callaway of Cabot, AR and Carmen Roetzel and husband Tony of Haslet, TX; seven grandchildren, Andrea Cater of Jacksonville, AR; Amanda Walker of El Paso, TX; Scott Conway of Gillett, AR; Nicholas Conway of Gulf Breeze, FL; Abby Hindman of Port St. Lucie, FL; and Lindsey and Blake Roetzel of Haslet, TX. He also leaves 5 great-grandchildren, 7 step great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. One brother Roy Callaway of Morris, OK; three sisters, Hazel Scott of Welling, OK; Mary Wade of Tahlequah, OK; and Flora Murphy of Muskogee, OK. A visitation was held in Jacksonville, AR on Wednesday February 28 and he was then taken home to Tahlequah, OK for funeral services on Friday March 2, 2007.
It is also with sadness that we learned of the death of Thorp Callaway of Germantown, TN. Our thoughts and prayers go to his wife Lucille and all their family. Thorp and Lucille are CFA members.
Hello Everyone,
Thorp was born May 17, 1928, to John True Callaway and Ruby Lavern Smith Callaway. He was the grandson of Joseph Pitt Callaway and Florence E. Anderson. Jonathan Hosea Callaway and Martha Jones were his great grandparents. The picture of Thorp was taken in 2004.
Sincerely,
Lucille Callaway

Here's a
happy family story about Jane & Gus Callaway's grandson,
Graham, who made a trip to Australia. Thank you to Jane for
sending it and the great photo.
Getting along WITHOUT Dr. Bruce Callaway -
I don't think this
family of Callaways could. In January I happened to notice
something in the CFA newsletter queries that rang a bell.
Someone was looking for a family named Callaway; Gus, Jane,
Randy, Jim and Kate. They had a photo taken at Christmas
time
1964. That was/is us, my family of Callaways, but I didn't
know what to do with it. Austin (called Gus) was amazed and
he didn't know either so he said. "Send it to Dr. Bruce. He
will know what and how to do the correct thing." He also
said, "And send it to the Newsletter Editor." I had been
corresponding with Bruce for several years about Austin's
DNA and the very little I have on Austin's Callaways, but I
never imagined any of the following. Within the next 15
minutes I had a copy of the e-mail that Bruce sent to the
Inquirer, and by the next morning, I was safely and soundly
talking to the gentleman on the phone. Maybe you read about
it in the February Newsletter. He had found a box weighing
12 pounds with letters and pictures dating back to 1898 all
about MY MOTHER'S family and my mother. (Needless to say,
she nor I were/are Callaways except by marriage.) But I was
enthralled at all the trouble that this nice man had gone
through to return these to the owners and or their family.
I was so grateful to him and to Bruce who had the magic key
that opened the door. I had no pictures of my mother as a
young woman or child. She died when she was 53 and I had
very little knowledge about her youth and her family. Just
what I remembered listening to as I grew up. Now I have
pictures of her as a Newborn, clear down to my wedding.
Letters from my grandmother and grandfather, farmer's deeds,
articles about them, et al. It is just amazing and I will
be eternally grateful to both gentlemen. But there were no Callaways in any of them.
In the middle of the
correspondence about these pictures I mentioned to Bruce
that my Grandson Graham, who had graduated from
the University of South Carolina in December, had been by to
see us and announced out of the blue, "I am going to
Australia." We were excited for him. It was something he
had apparently always wanted to do and he had friends there
as exchange students and so some place to stay once he got
there. I just mentioned this to Bruce in an add on to
something about the pictures, and he wrote back, "Have Graham
call me if he gets here. This is our phone number. Maybe
we can help steer him around and we would like to meet him".
We told Graham about this "lucky angel" we knew in Australia
and gave him Bruce's e-mail and so began another tale when
we couldn't have gotten by without Bruce Callaway. At least
this time it was about a fellow Callaway and not, Grays, Randles and Nowels. He is, as I write this, on his way to
Charlotte, where his Dad will pick him up and with great
good luck, Austin and I will be able to see him after he
sleeps off the jet-lag. He said he took thousands of
pictures and I can hardly wait to see them. I have been in
love with all things Australian ever since I discovered
Neville Shute years ago and we knew some wonderful people
from Australia during WW II. Graham and Bruce kept each
other up to date by e-mail the three weeks Graham was "in
country," and met the last day he was there and Bruce took
him and all of his stuff (I can only imagine) to the airport
so he would get on the right plane at the right time. No
mean feat with any of my grandchildren. Here's a picture of
Graham and his friend Meredith at Bruce's & Dawn's house.
So this is to tell you
all what a wonderful part of the CFA are Bruce and Dawn
Callaway. AND how thankful my Callaways are that we know
them.

U. S. Joseph Callaway Line I would like to thank Betty Callaway Temple for sending us the following information about Lawrence Clifton Callaway and also for the great picture.
Dear Donna,
This is a picture of my grandparents Lawrence Clifton
Callaway ( 08/23/1879 - 1/10/1960 - Lexington, Mo.), his
wife, Bettie Trail Callaway (11/14/1879 - 06/12/1963 -
Lexington Mo.), and my father Lawrence Clifton Callaway,
Jr., 03/02/1910 - 11/08/1980 - Ancon, Canal Zone,
Panama) during the construction of the Panama Canal. They
are standing in front of what is now Gatun Lock. My father
was approximately 13 months old in this picture. The canal
opened in 1914.
My grandparents were married on 1/23/1909 in Topeka,
Ka. Bettie at this time joined Lawrence in Panama during the
canal's construction. They lived in the Canal Zone until
1943. Grandpa retired as chief of police and they moved to
Long Beach California.
My great grand parents were Thomas M. Callaway (01/12/1846 -
02/11/1931 MO). Emma Barnhouse Callaway (05/31/1847
Baltimore, MD, 06/06/1913 Lexington, MO. Married 04/12/1877
in Lexington, MO. They had three children, Lawrence Clifton,
Fannie Belle 11/12/1881 - 09/5/1903, and Bettie Norine
11/12/1883 - 02/10/1920 all born in Lexington, MO.
Thank you - enjoy the picture and know that a Callaway
family helped in the construction and safety of the Panama
Canal and the Panama Canal Zone!

Editor's Note - CFA DNA Project and census records show that
Lawrence Clifton Callaway's line of descent is as follows and
this family line has been added to the CFA master Joseph
Callaway file at RootsWeb. I would like to thank Peggy Carey for sending us the following snippet about John C. Callaway. He was a physician and an early pioneer who was born in Kentucky about 1820 and migrated all the way to Iowa where he died in 1866. Donna, here's a one liner from: PRELUDE TO PROGRESS: THE HISTORY OF MASON CO, IL 1818-1968, Ruth Wallace Lynn, pg. 292.
"Dr. Harvey O'Neal & Dr. John C. Calloway

Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
I would like to thank
Gene
Lierheimer for graciously
sharing with us all of his hard work in researching the
family line of Edmund Callaway. You can view his family
file at Ancestry.com under Public Member Trees. Edmund
Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
Thanks to immense help from Theresa Snyder and Julia
Mortenson, I have now completed (more than) what I set
out to do in tracing the descendents of Edmund Callaway
in general and those of his son William Dudley Callaway
in particular. I will still try to add anecdotes and
other bits and pieces, including an email in draft about
the civil war service of all six of William Dudley's
sons. Otherwise I plan to move on to similar close
attention to the Lierheimer, Erisman and Dehart lines of
my ancestry. If you wish to add to the
callawayfamily.org
listings, I think you might find the entries in my
"Ralph Eugene Lierheimer tree" on ancestry.com of use. I
have added numerous Callaways and descendents of
Callaways--mostly with census or other verification. In doing research on my Callaway line, I found that
all six of my gggrandfather William Dudley Callaway's
sons served in Illinois units of the Union Army during
the Civil War. William Dudley (Edmund, James C., Joseph) had moved from Kentucky to Illinois shortly after the
1834 death of his first wife, Inez Barnard Callaway, and
his subsequent marriage to Amanda Wigginton. By the
early 1840's he had settled in a part of Sangamon
County, Illinois (near Springfield) which then became
Menard County. Abraham Lincoln's New Salem was about 10
miles southeast of William Dudley's farm near
Sweetwater, and about 10 miles northeast of the Tallula,
Illinois home of William Dudley's eldest son, Samuel
Barnard Callaway and later home of Wm Dudley and Amanda.
I have found no specific note of meetings between these
Callaways and Lincoln, but given the proximity involved,
and William Dudley being a staunch unionist, some
connection seems likely. William Dudley's sons, their military units, and
later professions are: Samuel Barnard Callaway: 114th Infantry Regiment,
Illinois (Distinguished service.) James Edmund Callaway: 28th Illinois Volunteer
Infantry John William Callaway: 10th Illinois U.S. Cavalry Albert (Alfred) Lindsey Callaway: 14th Illinois Vol
Inf Regt and 28th Illinois Vol Inf Regt (Albert L. "Tip"
Callaway served more than five years. He stayed on until
late 1866 for service on the Mexican border, and was
brevetted a lieutenant after several years as a senior
sergeant.) Charles Henry Callaway: 152nd Illinois Volunteer
Infantry Seth Wigginton Callaway: 152nd Illinois Volunteer
Infantry In addition to his sons, at least two of William
Dudley's nephews served in Illinois units of the Union
Army: James Edmund Callaway (son of Wm Dudley's brother
Samuel Taylor Callaway): This one of two James Edmund
Callaway cousins in his generation became a major during
the Civil war, and later was a member of the Montana
Supreme Court. Chauncey Callaway (son of Wm Dudley's brother John
Chesley Callaway) later became a rancher in Colorado and
Nebraska. (My grandfather, Albert Lindsey's son
Chauncey, was obviously named after this older cousin.) Further, at least one nephew of William Dudley served
the Confederacy: James Edward Payne (son of Mary Ann Callaway Payne
O'Bannon) was a captain in the 10th Missouri Volunteer
Infantry of the Confederate Army. Interestingly, James
Edward later served as a senior officer in the Union
Army during the Spanish American War. Also of interest is that John William Callaway was
captured in Arkansas by Confederate forces, which might
have included the 10th Missouri Volunteers. John William
was reportedly marched without shoes for some 40 miles
after his capture--and never fully recovered from the
resulting injuries. Yours, U. S. Peter Callaway Line
Please
welcome new CFA newsletter subscriber, Cheryl Peet. I would
like to thank her for sharing information about her Callaway
ancestry. It is a wonderful story of one of our "Callaway
women".
Donna,
Thank you for your
prompt response to my newsletter subscription, and for your
interest in my history.
My grandmother was Zelna
Elby Callaway (1903-1972), a great, great grand-daughter of
Joseph Callaway.
She and my grandfather,
Charles W. Rhoden, lived in Whittier, CA until she passed
away, after which my grandfather came to live with us for a
time.
Although I was only
six years old when my grandmother Zelna passed away, I can
still remember her vividly. I was her first grandchild, and
because she often called me "sweetheart" when I was learning
to speak, I began calling her "Sweetheart". She was
thereafter known as "Sweetheart" by all of my family members
and siblings yet to come. I still remember her sweet
personality and her sense of style. She always wore the
most striking "sparkly" pins and earrings, along with hats,
and other things that made her stand out. My grandfather
Charles became my closest friend growing up, and before he
passed away, he gave my grandmother's "sparkly" pins and
jewelry to me because he knew they were what I most
remembered of her.
My first memory of 'The
Callaways' was of being at a reunion of some sort near
Anaheim, CA when I was about seven years old. A man walked
up to me and asked if I was a Callaway. Puzzled, I just
looked and him and replied "huh?" My embarrassed father
immediately informed me that although my last name was not
Callaway, I was still a Callaway.
Not too long ago, I
began doing my genealogy, and I stumbled upon the
CFA web-site. I remembered years ago when my aunt, Alta
(Callaway) Lay, told me about her visit to the Callaway
Gardens. Your website brought back some fond memories, and I
realized that there was probably a lot that I did not know
about the Callaways, so I decided to subscribe to your
newsletter.
Again, thank you for
your interest.

Editor's
Note - Zelna Elby Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
The following
information about William Monroe Callaway was submitted to
CFA by CFA Member, John Zoch of Seaford, Delaware. It was
published in the 2002 CFA Journal. William Monroe
Callaway was a soldier who died for the Confederate Cause in
Jan 1862. Thanks to the generous donation of John and his
wife, Joyce, a stone marker was dedicated in June 2002
at William Monroe Callaway's resting place in Oakwood
Cemetery, Richmond, VA. Census records show that his
descendants remained in Georgia through the 1930 census and
may still be there today. William Monroe Callaway's line of
descent is as follows:
Oakwood is a city owned cemetery and the resting place of over 17,000 Confederate soldiers from all Southern States.

Hi there!
I was delighted to find the CALLAWAY info on your site as well as on Rootsweb. I am just beginning (as of this last year) to work on my maternal line, & found on a search a Rootsweb entry on my great grandfather, Wm. Lawrence Lott, who connects to the Peter Callaway line thru Pheraby Callaway.
I do NOT yet unfortunately have a formal submission, but
would like to provide the following added info to what CFA
has put out on Rootsweb related to the following line; and
then provide late this year or next year, a proper gedcom
file:
my line is (thnx to your assoc.'s research!):
Peter Callaway (md) > John Callaway (md) > Edw Callaway (md/nc)
> John Callaway (md/ga) >
Pheraby Callaway (ga) > Lydia Strozier (ga) > Lucy
(Lucinda?) Ann Philips (ga) > Effie Vandalia Embry (ga) >
William Lawrence Lott > Louise Embry Lott > Eleanor Stevens
McMichael > Helena Melicent Remy (nee 'Reamy')
The additional info, from the 'Lott family bible' started by
my great grandmother, Effie Vandalia Embry, is:
Effie Vandalia Embry Lott: your birth & death info
confirmed; m. Wm Lawrence Lott 14 Oct. 1885, Columbus,
Muscogee Co., GA

Co., GA; m. Ralph W. Edge, 29 Nov. 1910, Columbus,
Muscogee Co., GA; d. > 1950 (will research & later
supply)
I hope supplying this info this way is not too inconvenient;
I thought it better to now provide it, rather than wait a
year or more! Yes, I will be joining your fantastic
organization, and ordering the family history CD.
Thanks so much, Melicent Remy

flute. (The family only story goes that this grandfather sort of fiddled and fluted his way through life and completely missed the Industrial Revolution. His wife’s family, the Scudders were huge land owners and first families of New Jersey) Dad Callaway played the “fiddle” and could pick out any tune on just about anything you handed him. Music was not his main nor only talent. He was an artist, a painter and had studios in Westfield and New York. The New York “office” was given over to package design for some of the huge
companies of his time. (He did all of the packaging for Colgate, The Girl Scout cookies, and several others for years.) He did this so that when he was home in Westfield he could paint what ever and whenever he wanted. He was a most debonair man, very clever, a great writer, (he used to illustrate his letters), and a hard worker, a man set in his ways. I think of him as the ultimate gentleman. Today we would say he was an anomaly. His daughter Margaret was/is very artistic and married an artist and they took over Dad’s New York Office when he retired. My in-laws moved from Westfield to Rowayton, CT, next door to their daughter in Darien, and Dad set about painting his first love, the sea, it’s beaches and the boats he sailed in all of his life. He began to
learn some new ideas from his son-in-law and had a showing of his work at the age of 80 in Westport.

Query # 409
Subject – Mary Lavinia Callaway
Submitter - Nathan White
email - whiten at prodigy.net
Mrs. Morgan:
I am Nathan White, husband of Wanda Cason White, a descendant of
the Callaways, Bramletts, etc. of Georgia. I talked to Sam Geer
tonight and he gave me your E-mail address and suggested I
E-mail you. Wanda is applying for membership in the Jamestowne
Society and we are looking for documentary proof of the
following: The information available to us suggests that Hugh
Alvin Bramlett is the son of John Bramlett (b. 1785) and Mary
Levinia Callaway (b.1796). She is of the Peter Callaway line and
is the daughter of Jacob and Lucy Parker Callaway. What proof do
we (you) have that Hugh Alvin is the son of John and Levinia
Bramlett? We are interested in joining the Callaway Family
Association as well. Thank you very much.

Query # 410
Subject - James Walter Callaway

Donna,
Thank you for the inclusion of my information in the March 2007 CFA newsletter, I very much appreciate it.
I now regret not answering your email promptly, it is still in my active list for response. Actually I do have further information on this line, though some of the specific deed details (b/p and actual property location) are misplaced in my files.
I have put equal effort into proving James Walter is not the son of Chesley Jr. and I cannot. The evidence against this relationship is Chesley Jr's will, I am told, does not mention James Walter, though, I am told, it does not mention most of his surviving children. (I would love to have a copy/transcription of this) The only other evidence against this relationship is Beverly Harvey's (husband of Mary Elizabeth Callaway and Chesley's son in law) family bible, which was quite detailed, I am told (I would love to have a copy/transcription of this too), and does not mention James Walter.
To connect James Walter to Chesley I have James Walter listed in 1850 census in household adjoining Chesley's widow and remaining children this is less than 2 years after Chesley's death. In the 1860 census James Walter had a son named Chesley 10 years old (this Chesley who would have been born about 1850 is the first male born to James Walter after Chesley Jr's death) it is certainly reasonable to name your next son after your recently deceased father. These facts obviously indicate a very close relationship to Chesley Jr.. This cannot be the James, son of Zachariah who married Eliza Holcomb as they show up in the same census years in another household. I can find no other possibilities.
There is a deed dated 29 May 1852 (recorded 27 Sep 1853) from Stephen Callaway & his wife Elizabeth to James W Callaway, this deed refers to another deed dated 22 Mar 1852 from Andrew Callaway to Stephen & Elizabeth. This set of transactions within a couple years of Chesley Jr.'s death again indicate a close relationship between the three (son's of Chesley Jr.) (Note: there is another deed dated 18 Aug 1848 to James Callaway from A Presley, this is within a few days of Chesley's death [Aug 1848] though may be unrelated - Another deed dated 12 May 1850 to Andrew Callaway from William Knox)
I would like to find further evidence, if not conclusive proof, that James Walter is indeed the son of Chesley Jr.. Or I would like to compile any further evidence to the contrary.
Thanks again
