 The Editor's Corner

We often forget, and some aren't aware that the American Civil War reached far beyond the United States. Here is the story of the C.S.S. Alabama, her Captain, Raphael Semmes and a small establishment in Southampton, England called Kelway's Hotel.

In Search of Kelway's Hotel
by Charles Priestley

Charles, a regular American Civil War Round Table (UK) contributor, does some more detective work; this time in the English port of Southampton, scene of the gathering of the D-Day Invasion forces. He is on the trail of an hotel, where Captain Raphael Semmes and his officers were reported by the London 'Times' as having stayed, after being rescued from the stricken Confederate raider 'Alabama'.

Few of us are able to cross the Atlantic as much as we would like in order to pursue our obsession. Many of us, indeed, have probably never seen the battlefields which we enjoy reading about. In my own case, although I am lucky enough to have an aunt and uncle in Chattanooga and to have spent a year teaching at the university there, my last visit to Tennessee was more than eight years ago. My wife and children seem strangely reluctant to sanction any further visits, at least for the time being. The result is that we are forced to look nearer home for sites of Civil War interest to satisfy the craving. One place worth looking at must be Southampton. 

I imagine that other members have found themselves, as I did a year ago or so, sitting in their local library reading the long account in 'The Times' for 21 June 1864, of the sinking of the Alabama and the landing in Southampton of those of the officers and crew rescued by the Deerhound. Perhaps they, too, paused at the following sentence: "Captain Semmes, and his  first-lieutenant, Mr. J. M. Kill [sic], are staying at Kelway's Hotel, in Queens-terrace, where the gallant commander is under the care of Dr. Ware". Might Kelway's Hotel still exist? Having some free time last October, I decided to find out. 

The first step was to make some enquiries. Southampton city Information Centre is not easy to get through to, but at my third attempt I was fortunate to be put on to Mr Geoff Watts, a man with a real interest in the history of his city. Within a few hours, he had called me back with the information that one Robert Kelway, a Chief Steward with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, had owned a hotel called the Oriental at No.6, Queen's Terrace in 1859, in partnership with a Miss Coster. By 1861, the name had been expanded to the Oriental and Australian, and in 1863 Kelway's partners consisted of Messrs. John Ford and James Bascombe, as well as Miss Coster. Mr. Watts added that there had, until recently, been a restaurant or cafe called the Oriental in Queen's Terrace. It had now closed down, but he thought that the sign might still be there. 

It was now time to go down to Southampton and take a look. Arriving at Queen's Terrace in great excitement, I experienced a feeling which will be all too familiar to anyone who has ever gone in search of Judah P. Benjamin's London residences, for example. The whole of the Western end of the street, from No.1 to No.22 or so, consisted of modem blocks, the original buildings having presumably been destroyed either by the Luftwaffe or by the developers. Walking down to the far end of the street, where the houses, though run-down, were at least original, I decided to cut my losses and go for a walk around the walls instead. Just as I was turning away, I suddenly noticed the word "Oriental", in large but faded letters, across the upper front of one of the buildings. This was clearly the restaurant mentioned by Mr Watts, now sold, according to the signs in the windows, for conversion into two-bedroom flats. Could it also have been Kelway's Hotel? It was certainly of the right period and of about the right size, but it was also No. 29, not No. 6. Could the system of numbering have changed since the 1860s?

On my return to London, I contacted Mr. Watts again. This time, he was able to inform me that the block at the Eastern end of the street, on the corner of Terminus Terrace, had originally been occupied by Radley's Hotel and that Kelway's had been next to it. In other words, the building which I had seen was almost certainly Kelway's Hotel, or at least a part of it, and the well-known photograph of Semmes and Kell with Dr. Wiblin (who seems to have taken over from Dr. Ware) was presumably taken in one of its rooms.

There is clearly much more research to be done on Southampton's role in the Civil War. The same 'Times' article states that the wounded men "were taken to the Sailors' Home, in the Canute-road." Was this the Royal Mail Sailors' Home, at 7-8, Canute Road, near St. Lawrence Road, or the larger building further up the street, opposite the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's factory? Semmes himself tells us, in Memoirs of Service Afloat, that he "engaged quarters at Millbrook...as duties connected with the welfare of my crew would require my detention in the neighbourhood of Southampton for a week or two." Where exactly were these quarters? It would be satisfying, too, to identify the two hotels, one very welcoming and the other the reverse, mentioned by Sinclair in 'Two Years on the Alabama'. 

A further lead is contained in the information pack on the Alabama that was put out some years ago by Jerry Williams and the Alabama Trust, with the help of Wirral Council. One of the items in the pack is a copy of a document certifying that a seaman has been duly paid off. At the bottom left-hand corner of it in small type, there appears what is presumably the name of the printer. Although the inscription is not very clear, at least on the photocopy, the first word appears to be "Bennett", the second could possibly be "Son" or "Sons" and the last is definitely "Southampton". Thus, although this particular example was filled in on 16 July 1864, in Liverpool, it looks very much as if Semmes had a number of these certificates printed up during his stay in Southampton. 

Perhaps some member living in the Southampton area would like to investigate these and other questions, including, of course, the earlier visit to the city of the C.S.S. Nashville. I imagine that the files of the local newspapers would be a fruitful place to start. In return for the help which I received from Mr. Watts, I have suggested that Southampton Council might like to think about marketing the city's link with the Alabama. After all, if they have a Titanic Trail, why not an Alabama Trail? The staff at the Information Centre clearly knew nothing of Southampton's connection with the Civil War, and I have therefore sent Mr. Watts, at his request, some background information on both the Alabama and the naval war in general, together with some suggestions for further research. 

Meanwhile, any member who likes the idea of sleeping where Semmes slept might consider investing in a two-bedroom flat in what was once Kelway's Hotel, Southampton.

Editor's Note - for those readers who have an interest in the Civil War, following is a description of the battle between the CSS Alabama and the USS Kearsarge which took place in the English Channel about 5 miles off shore. It is in Captain Semmes own words as he reports on the outcome of the sea battle.

Raphael Semmes

Report of Captain Semmes, C.S. Navy, commanding C.S.S. Alabama.

SOUTHAMPTON, June 21, 1864.

SIR: I have the honor to inform you, in accordance with my intention as previously announced to you, I steamed out of the harbor of Cherbourg between 9 and 10 o'clock on the morning of June 19 for the purpose of engaging the enemy's steamer Kearsarge, which had been lying off and on the port for several days previously. After clearing the harbor we descried the enemy, with his head offshore, at a distance of about 9 miles. We were three-quarters of an hour in coming up with him. I had previously pivoted my guns to starboard, and made all my preparations for engaging the enemy on that side. When within about a mile and a quarter of the enemy he suddenly wheeled, and bringing his head inshore presented his starboard battery to me. By this time we were distant about 1 mile from each other, when I opened on him with solid shot, to which he replied in a few minutes, and the engagement became active on both sides. The enemy now pressed his ship under a full head of steam, and to prevent our passing each other too speedily, and to keep our respective broadsides bearing, it became necessary to fight in a circle, the two ships steaming around a common center and preserving a distance from each other of from a quarter to half a mile. When we got within good shell range, we opened on him with shell. Some ten or fifteen minutes after the commencement of the action our spanker gaff was shot away and our ensign came down by the run. This was immediately replaced by another at the mizzenmast-head. The firing now became very hot, and the enemy's shot and shell soon began to tell upon our hull, knocking down, killing, and disabling a number of men in different parts of the ship. Perceiving that our shell, though apparently exploding against the enemy's sides, were doing but little damage, I returned to solid shot firing, and from this time onward alternated with shot and shell. After the lapse of about one hour and ten minutes our ship was ascertained to be in sinking condition, the enemy's shell having exploded in our sides and between decks, opening large apertures, through which the water rushed with great rapidity. For some few minutes I had hopes of being able to reach the French coast, for which purpose I gave the ship all steam and set such of the fore-and-aft sails as were available. The ship filled so rapidly, that before we had made much progress the fires were extinguished in the furnaces, and we were evidently on the point of sinking. I now hauled down my colors to prevent the further destruction of life, and dispatched a boat to inform the enemy of our condition. Although we were now but 400 yards from each other, the enemy fired upon me five times after my colors had been struck, dangerously wounding several of my men. It is charitable to suppose that a ship of war of a Christian nation could not have done this intentionally. We now turned all our exertions toward the wounded and such of the boys as were unable to swim. These were dispatched in my quarter boats, the only boats remaining to me, the waist boats having been torn to pieces.

Some twenty minutes after my furnace fires had been extinguished, and the ship being on the point of settling, every man, in obedience to a previous order which had been given to the crew, jumped overboard and endeavored to save himself. There was no appearance of any boat coming to me from the enemy until after the ship went down. Fortunately, however, the steam yacht Deerhound, owned by a gentleman of Lancashire, England (Mr. John Lancaster), who was himself on board, steamed up in the midst of my drowning men and rescued a number of both officers and men from the water. I was fortunate enough myself thus to escape to the shelter of the neutral flag, together with about forty others, all told. About this time the Kearsarge sent one and then, tardily, another boat.

Accompanying you will find lists of the killed and wounded, and of those who were picked up by the Deerhound. The remainder there is reason to hope were picked up by the enemy and by a couple of French pilot boats, which were also fortunately near the scene of action. At the end of the engagement it was discovered by those of our officers who went alongside the enemy's ship with the wounded that her midship section on both sides was thoroughly iron-coated, this having been done with chains constructed for the purpose, placed perpendicularly from the rail to the water's edge, the whole covered over by a thin outer planking, which gave no indication of the armor beneath. This planking had been ripped off in every direction by our shot and shell, the chain broken and indented in many places, and forced partly into the ship's side. She was most effectively guarded, however, in this section from penetration. The enemy was much damaged in other parts, but to what extent it is now impossible to tell. It is believed he was badly crippled.

My officers and men behaved steadily and gallantly, and though they have lost their ship they have not lost honor. Where all behaved so well it would be invidious to particularize; but I cannot deny myself the pleasure of saying that Mr. Kell, my first lieutenant, deserves great credit for the fine condition in which the ship went into action, with regard to her battery, magazine, and shell rooms; also that he rendered me great assistance by his coolness and judgment as the fight proceeded.

The enemy was heavier than myself, both in ship, battery, and crew; but I did not know until the action was over that she was also ironclad. Our total loss in killed and wounded is 30, to wit, 9 killed and 21 wounded.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
R. SEMMES,
Captain

 Silver Sneakers
I would like to thank CFA Member, Fred Lucas, for telling us about the Silver Sneakers program. May is Physical Fitness and Sports Month and it is Older Americans Month, so what could be more appropriate?

Hi Donna,
Several months ago, I enrolled in an exercise program designed for adults over 65. This is a nationwide program called Silver Sneakers and is sponsored by various health insurance companies. We meet in fitness centers throughout the nation. At my gym, called Fitworks, we meet three times each week for group exercises. Yesterday for example we did Yoga stretches. Each of us had a chair should we have a problem with balance. Friday we will use balls, weights, and stretch cords. We have a leader and we do our exercises to music. We can also use cardio machines as well as free weights and resistance machines. Should senior Callaways be interested, they can go to http://www.silversneakers.com for information about health plans in their state that sponsor silver sneakers and locations of fitness centers by zip codes that participate.
Sincerely, Fred Lucas

Calloway Woman Provides Familiarity to Troops Serving in Kuwait

I would like to thank Jean Hare for sending us this article that appeared in the newspaper in Montgomery, Alabama.


Maxwell Air Force Base Army & Air Force Exchange Associate
Sheree Kelly-Calloway greets Navy sailors at a bazaar at the
Logistics Stage Area at Ali Al Salim Air Base in Kuwait.

Sheree Kelly-Calloway wakes up about 5:30 a.m. She gets dressed, eats breakfast and heads to the office about 7 a.m. About 12 hours later, she wraps up another typical workday. She's in Kuwait. Kelly-Calloway is an associate with Army and Air Force Exchanges Services and is based at Maxwell Air Force Base. But for the first half of 2009, the 31-year old left her Montgomery-based family behind.

In Kuwait she spends about five days a week on the road traveling from camp to camp with third-party nationals who sell their wares to the troops. The sellers accompanying her are from countries like Korea, Philippines, Somalia, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, among others. Many have handcrafted jewelry, arts and crafts and other goods. The troops, Kelly-Calloway said, purchase some for themselves and some to send home to their families as souvenirs.

Her dad retired from the Military after 25 years and the family moved from Alaska to Montgomery. For the last nine years, Kelly-Calloway has worked for AAFES at Maxwell. That military background is why she wants to continue working to support the troops, and why she volunteered for this, her second Kuwait deployment, she said.

Before boarding the plane to the Middle East, Kelly-Calloway spent two weeks of training at AAFES Headquarters in Dallas and the Continental U.S. Replacement Center at Fort Benning in Georgia. During her time at CRC, she was issued a Kevlar helmet and body armor and also took training in first aid, the M9 pistol, anti-terrorism, operational security and cultural awareness.

At home in Montgomery, Kelly-Calloway's husband and two daughter hear from her weekly. She's got six brothers and sisters in town that she also keeps in touch with. Four serve in the military. It's hard and she misses her family, but she wanted to go back for the experience and for the troops, she said. She wanted to support the troops' needs while they are away from their families, just as she does at Maxwell. "We're serving the best customers in the world," she said. "As far as our stores, we sell in buildings, in tents, trailers, wherever we can. Harsh conditions. We're there."

When she gets back in July, she'll go back to school at Auburn Montgomery, where she's working on her bachelor's in biology and environmental science.

U. S. Joseph Callaway Line

I would like to thank Herman Dudley Grey for his generosity. He has shared with us a copy of a letter written by James Edmund Callaway to his uncle, Dudley Robley Griggs. Dr. James Edmund Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
Joseph Callaway
James Callaway
Edmund Callaway
William Dudley Callaway and 2nd wife Amanda Jane Wigginton
James Edmund Callaway

I may have some information that you will find of interest. My uncle, Dudley Robley Griggs, started working on his family tree about 1920, at the time he was a Col. in the army so was very interested in any military history of our family.  I have a copy of a letter from Dr. James Edmund Callaway, Chillicothe, Mo. dated May 24, 1920. It relates his experience during the civil war and that of his brother John W. Callaway. Some of your web site helped me. I'm chasing down William Dudley Callaway who would be my g. g. grandfather.  He married Lucy Barnard, and they had Ann Morton Callaway, my g. grandmother who married a Gregg who died while in med. school in Michigan. Then she married my g. grandfather, Horatio James Oakes They had Mary Almeda Oakes who had my uncle Dudley and my mother Francis Marie. The letter follows.

Copy of letter from Dr. J. E. Callaway;

Mr. Dudley Griggs:
Your enquiring letter read. Glad to hear from you. As to my father's family, your grand mother, my half-sister, was Ann Maria Callaway.  She married Martin Gregg in 1848 or 9.  Our old family Bible now in the hands of her own brother, & my half brother, Samuel Barnard Callaway whose P. O. address is Tallula, Il.  This old Bible, was given me by my father at the time of his last illness. I sent it to your grand mother requesting her to have it sent to my brother S. B. Callaway after her death.  This was done by your mother or her sister.  By writing my half bro., he can send you dates of your grand mother's birth and two marriages. Her second husband Oakes died years before she did. You grand mother knew more of our family history than any other member of the Callaway or Barnard families. 

Our grand father, Edmund Callaway was too young for the revolutionary war, war with Great Britain from 1776 to 1784, but he was a soldier for our country in war of 1812, was with Commodore Perry in engagement at time ole Tecumsin, the big Indian chief was killed (this old Indian chief was an ally of the British).  I do not know anything of the Barnard family. 

My father's first wife's name was Lucy Barnard, (your grand mother's mother). My half bro Samuel Barnard Callaway, was alive and in fairly good health a short time ago.  He was a member of the 114th. regiment Ill. vol. Infantry war of 1861-65 (civil war) he was regimental wagon master, rank same as Sgt. Major or Quarter master or 1st. Sgt. I and my bro Alfred L Callaway were members of the 28th. Ills Vol Inftry war 1861-65.  He was discharged in Sept 1865 having served continuously from May 1861, Lincoln's first call for volunteers, 75000 men, when discharged he was in command of his company.  Our first battle was Shiloah, Pittsburg Landing Tennessee April 6 & 7, 1862, and that was a terrible engagement for two long days, but the Union army triumphed. We fought them constantly winding up at Vicksburg, Miss. which we captured July 4  After that, I resigned my office, went home to Greenview, Ills. (on account of poor health) and after rest took up the profession of my life's work of an M.D., but my bro Alfred stayed to the end.

My bro John Wm. Callaway was a member of Co, A 10th. Ills Vol. Calvary, and served his time out, but was disabled in Mo. in 1863 & spent a year in Overton Hospital.  His disability came from being made prisoner of war near Helena, Ark., was stripped of his clothing, marched bare footed 40 miles over rough stony roads that cut and lacerated his feet so shamefully he never recovered.

My bro Charles Henrey Callaway and younger bro Seth W. each served in 152nd regiment Ill Vol Inf. Charles lives in Hoopeston, Ills. 

U. S. Peter Callaway Line

From A Bygone Era - Callaways manufacturing towels; Department Stores that carry these towels; and towels anywhere for $.64!!! In 1968, two years after this newspaper article appeared, Fuller Callaway sold all of the Callaway Mills to Milliken and Company and the milling era for the Callaway family came to an end.

The
    Wyckoff
          Shopper

I seriously doubt that Dick Kishpaugh, head of our Domestics Department, and his merchandising manager, Walter Wyckoff, will ever come down to earth. They are still floating on clouds soft as Callaway Towels, and it's all due to the superb hospitality shown them when they spent two dreamy days of early May as guests of Callaway Mills in Callaway's home city, LaGrange, GA.

These boys did not put up at any ordinary hotel, mind you! As Callaway guests they were given royal treatment at the company's own guest house, an exquisite southern mansion with all the ways and means of extending true Southern hospitality. Their hosts were J. T. Broswell, Jr., a Callaway executive, and Harold Buccheit, the sales representative with whom Dick deals in selecting all the lovely Callaways that stock our Wyckoff shelves.


Callaway Mills Guest House circa 1940s
View of the rear of house from the lake

One of the many interesting features of the visit to Callaway Mills was a tour of the plant itself, and both Dick and Walt tell me this is something I should never have missed. "It's an education as well as an adventure to see the bales of cotton arrive, and finally watch the finished towels neatly packed for shipping to customers everywhere, via the country's leading stores," Walt says.

Production steps are, of course, numerous. Just look at the terry towel you used in your bath this morning. Can you visualize it for a moment as a ball of cotton, fresh from the field? It might be from any section of our nation's Cotton Country . . . Callaway has many resources. But all must be cleaned and blended after arrival at the mills, then spun into yearn, dyed, woven, properly sewn, washed, packaged, and transported. Would you believe it? - that terry towel of yours has been around far more than you yourself may have been. And wouldn't you wonder how the comparatively low price ever paid for all those steps through which a quality towel must go, and still produced a profit all along the line?

Many of Callaway's most beautiful towels are Jacquards, and Dick tells me it is fascinating to watch these being woven. The patterns are made up from sketches produced by skilled designers . . . and it is probably to these artists that one can attribute the glorious and most unusual color combinations which are just about the first thing you notice when you view a Callaway display.

During their visit, Walt and Dick spent some of Wyckoff's money to buy thousands of towels . . . for several reasons. In the first place, they were too lovely to resist; in the second place, they know that you, the Wyckoff customer, demand Callaways in big selections and in large quantities. They are your favorite towels. And here's a third reason: beginning tomorrow in our Keystone Room we are going to have our second annual Half Price Callaway Spectacular. A bigger and even better one than last year, if possible. Certainly a preview of what is awaiting you is most tempting. (I'm really delighted that we need towels in my home. I'd die if I had all this at my fingertips and absolutely no excuse for spending a few hard-earned dollars.)

There are ever-so-slightly-irregular jacquards and solids, regularly $3.99 at $1.97 . . . jacquards, regularly $2.99 at $1.50; others at $.97 that are usually $1.99, and some splendid first quality print and self-tones that are regularly $1.29 for just $.64. See them . . . and invest! Buy for yourself . . . for off-to-college students . . . for brides and engaged girls. Buy for the fun of buying.

Actually, the main reason for this column is to thank Callaway Mills for the wonderful time shown Walt and Dick. Those southerners certainly do know how to roll out the red velvet carpet. But then, why wouldn't they? Callaway not only manufactures towels, it gives the world asbestos, industrial canvas, and carpets. Flying carpets maybe - so we can all be "carried away by Callaway".

In the mid-1960s, Milliken looked to expand the company’s offerings in domestic fabrics and found that Fuller Callaway wanted to sell.  Roger negotiated with his old friend and bought seven mills known as Callaway, Incorporated in 1968.  Most of these plants were located in and around LaGrange, GA, a long drive from Spartanburg.  In order to save time, many Milliken engineers and managers drove to the Stevens Aviation terminal at the Greenville Spartanburg airport and caught the company plane, an aged DC-3 for the flight.  The plane made several round trips a week, so projects could be managed from Spartanburg and supervised from time to time in LaGrange.  

Some of the plants, such as Calumet were quite aged.  A warehouse on the property, used as a field hospital in the War Between the States, was still used as a storage area in the late 1960s.  Tree trunks rather than finished beams held up the roof.  Calumet provided flocked crushed velvet fabrics used for furniture upholstery.

Purchase of Callaway put Milliken into the tufting business in a big way with carpets and upholstery. Callaway technicians developed and brought to Milliken a novel tufting concept, which utilized compressed air to move yarn through a hollow needle to a precise pile height, and called their machine the Honesty machine.

1,4 Valway Mill was the name of another Callaway location. The Kex Plant provided industrial and cleaning fabrics and walk off mats.  Hillside provided carpets and rugs.  Pine Mountain was a newer towel plant.  Alma was located in the nearby town of Alma.

3. ARALZAMAN2 CALAWAY (WILLIAM A.1) was born Abt. 1801 in New Haven, CT, and died 1893 in Austinburg, Ashtabula Co., OH. He married HANNAH HOSKINS. She was born 22 Dec 1803 in New Haven, CT, and died in 1853 in Ashtabula Co., OH.

Aralzaman Calaway came from Barkhamsted, Ct., in 1820 when but nineteen years old and two years later returned for his widowed mother. In the same year he married Hannah Haskins of Windsor, Ohio. He had to work very hard to support his family, but his wife with willing heart and helping hands stood steadfastly by his side, a loving wife and mother, ready to sacrifice her own comfort or pleasure. She died at the age of forty-nine and before the Civil War, thus escaping the anguish of knowing that her third son died of starvation in Libby prison. He was one of ten children she raised to maturity. Mr. Calaway lived to be ninety-two years old.

Editor's Note - Can anyone connect this Calaway family with their British ancestors? They are "Mystery Calaways".

I would like to thank Pam Drake for sending this marriage record that appeared on the Devon List.

There appear to be no Kalloway, Calloway or Kellaway baptisms or marriages at Bovey Tracey throughout the time parish records were kept - Baptisms 1659 -1837 either at the parish church or the Hen St Baptist; Marriages from 1539 - 1837. There is a marriage of a John Callaway to Eliza Richards, 30 June 1859 at Madron, Cornwall. Age of husband at marriage 27, and wife 30. John's father was Moses Callaway.

Query # 530
Subject – Who is this Samuel Calloway?
Submitter - Gil Robertson
email - Gilmer.W.Robertson at valley.net

Hello,
I can't imagine how much work it must be to keep up with the Calloway family, but here is just one more question for you!! In a book that I ran across many years ago "The Annals of Tennessee", by Wassler I believe, he notes: "Daniel Boone, who still lived on the Yadkin, though he had previously hunted on the western water, came again this year (1764) to explore the country, being employed for this purpose by Henderson and Co. With him came Samuel Calloway, his kinsman, and the ancestor of the respectable family of that name, pioneers of Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri." I have just gotten interested in family history and I have wondered for years who this Samuel was. I am descended from Samuel (b. ca. 1754-55), son of Francis, through his son Ferree in Surry Co N.C. I have not been able to locate another "Samuel", but discounted my ancestor as being too young to be traveling with Boone. Do you know who this Samuel was that traveled with Boone?

Well, I have pride in all of my ancestors, for what they endured and their courage; it is wonderful to have glorious ancestors, but the glory does belong to them, not us!! I belonged to the Calloway Asso. when I lived in NC about 30 years ago and will join again.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely and with regards,
Gil Robertson

Query # 531
Subject - Elizabeth Calaway
Submitter - Sharon Daniel Amos
email - elvislady49 at yahoo.com

Hello,   I found the website for the Calaway line on the web.  I come from the Joseph Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway lineage.  Joseph fought in the Revolutionary war and I belong to DAR and I'm trying to hook up my linage to him for registering another patriot. Is there any information you have on Elizabeth Calaway or her husband. She is buried in Ridgeville cemetery in Tennessee.  Looking specifically for information on their son Reuben Daniel who fought in the Civil war. Anyway would like any information available on her if there is any. 
Thanks, Sharon Daniel Amos

Query # 532
Subject - Obediah and Jonathan Calloway
Submitter - Michael Busby
email - michael_busby at yahoo.com

Hello, I am a direct descendant from William Dennis of Guilford County, North Carolina. William had two sons-in-law, Obediah and Jonathan Calloway (as documented in William's will, probated in 1791). I am interested in connecting with anyone interested in the Dennis-Calloway lines. Please feel free to circulate my name/e-mail address among your membership and let them know I will happily share whatever I know about both families.
Thanks. 
Cordially, Michael

Editor's Note - I wrote to Michael and told him about the Callaway line of descent for Obediah and Jonathan. It is as follows:
Peter Callaway
William Callaway
William Callaway, Jr.
Jonathan and Obediah Callaway
