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 were early settlers who had medical
practices in Bath. "
No specific date
mentioned. Didn't find him mentioned again.

The following obituary was posted on Genforum.com
From The Seattle Post-Intelligencer May 30, 2003
Editor's Note - James M. 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. Most of the men buried here were killed during the Seven Days battles or died at Chimborozo, the South’s largest hospital during the war, which was only about a mile away.

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
Wm Lawrence Lott: birth info confirmed; d. 30 Aug 1937,
Columbus, Muscogee Co., GA
children by Effie Embry:
Louise Embry Lott, correction: b. 26 jul 1886; m. Dr.
Jack Richard McMichael, 14 Jan 1908,
Columbus, Muscogee Co., GA; confirm d. as 26 Aug 1970,

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
Submitter - Bud Keeton
email - budkeeton at sbcglobal.net
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

Query # 416
Subject - The old Calloway house in Spangle, WA
Submitter - Shirley Whipple
email - SurelyDareTwoTry at aol.com
I think the letter was dated 1994. I wrote to the nursing home to see if Thelma (Timmi) was still living and they never responded. She would have been Jim Callaway's great niece and she didn't even know he was related to her. They didn't have the advantage of computers, but she did know he was related somehow and that tells me that the story of Nathan living there was probably a true story as well. I wrote you about that some time back (December 2005 Newsletter). No one has responded so far but there are still some of the old timers around. Maybe they will have an idea. Thanks for answering.
"I always thought that Calloway was relation to my dad's first wife, Katy Brown. The old Calloway house is close to Spangle. Their son, I think his name was Jim, he lived there after his parent's died. He patented a beautiful gate. I use to like to go by there just to see that gate."

Sights
to see in Atlanta-
It could be argued that the history of Atlanta began at Fort
Peachtree, where Peachtree Creek flows into the Chattahoochee River.
Way back when this point was the borderline between the Creek Indian lands to the south and Cherokee territories to the north, there stood a large peach tree (or, depending on who you listen to, it may have been some sort of pine, or "pitch" tree.) The tree gave the name to the nearby creek, which in turn gave the name to the main Indian trail in the area, and from that, the street, and so on.
And on this spot in 1814, the Americans built Fort Peachtree to watch over the neighborhood (and maybe also the tribes) during the War of 1812. (The fort in the picture is a latter-day recreation constructed by the Water Department, which today operates a water quality monitoring station on the site.)
Later, this
spot was briefly chosen as the location where the railroads would
come together to form the city of Atlanta. But later, possibly
because rivers and train tracks all coming together in one place
would promise too confusing, they decided to locate the terminus
several miles to the east.
