THE CALLAWAY FAMILY ASSOCIATION Volume IX No. 6
Always regard
with esteem the name you were given; The Editor's Corner My thanks to Bill Piper for the entertaining story that follows. Our hero is none other than Detective Bernard Kellaway, who gets his man! The Great Chipping Norton Junction Biscuit Caper Theft from the Railway - Walter Widdows, engine cleaner, Charlbury, was brought up in custody, on remand, charged with stealing a tin of biscuits, value 2s., three pairs of boots, value 27s. 9d., and a quantity of brushes, the property of the G.W.R. Co. (Gilkes, Wilson & Co. Ex-Leeds and Thirsk railway) Mr. F. T. Evers, and Mr. Thos. Mace for the defense. I received three cases of biscuits from the Manchester Co-operative Society. They were delivered by the C.W.R. Co. Two of the cases should have contained 12 boxes each, the other eight boxes. There should have been four tins of thin lunch biscuits, but one tin was missing from the case. The tin of biscuits now produced is similar to the three tins that were in one of the cases. Bernard Kellaway deposed: I am a detective in the employ of the G.W.R. Co., and reside at Southall. From information I received I came to Chipping Norton Junction on the 14th of this month, to investigate a case of theft of a coat from the porter's room. I recovered the coat and made a search in the locomotive shed, where I found the tin of biscuits now produced in the prisoner's box. Later on I saw the prisoner and informed him who I was, telling him that I was going to ask him some questions, and that he could please himself how he answered them, as I intended making a note of all he said. I asked him how he accounted for the tin of biscuits I found in his box. He replied, saying that he knew nothing about it and could not say how it came there. I also found a brush, a corkscrew and some towels in the prisoner's box. By the Bench: I made the search in the prisoner's absence. I also found two pairs of boots and some brushes hidden away on the smoke shoot of the locomotive shed. Prisoner subsequently made a confession to me, saying, "I am caught. I suppose I will lose my place." Prisoner told me he saw the case on the platform about a fortnight ago. It was broken open and he carried a tin to the locomotive shed. He did not know what made him do it. I thereupon took the prisoner into custody and brought him to Chipping Norton, and made the charge against him. Prisoner further told me that he saw the boots on the platform about two months ago. He said, "I was walking up the platform about two months ago when I saw the boots. I took two pairs and hid them." Prisoner asked me how many pairs of boots I found. I said two, and he said that was all he had. By Mr. Mace: I did not charge him with stealing them at the time, neither did I tell him that what he said would be used as evidence against him. Wm. Sainsbury deposed: I reside at 82 High street, Banbury, and am manager to Messrs. Millward and Sons, boot manufacturers. On August 8th I made up a small parcel containing three pairs of boots, and addressed them to No. 64, Bridge street, Evesham, which is a branch establishment - I dispatched them by the G.W.R. the same day. The boots produced are two pairs out of the parcel. I can identify them by the numbers upon them and also by the prices, which are my own figures. Joseph Packer deposed: I live at No. 3, North street, Grimsbury. I was guard in charge of the 7:15 p.m. train from Banbury to Chipping Norton Junction on August 8th. I received a parcel addressed to Millward and Sons, Evesham, that day, and put it out at my arrival at Chipping Norton Junction. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Mace made a few observations to the Bench on his behalf, saying that the prisoner was under 18 years of age, and that he would like to call a witness to show the character of his father. Edward Clayton deposed: I live at Charlbury and am a member of the parish council. I know the youth in the dock very well. I know his father and his uncle. They are a very old and respectable family. I have known them all my life. His uncle is clerk to the parish council, and has been since its formation. I knew nothing at all against the prisoner until this matter occurred. Mr. Mace said he had been instructed by the prisoner to throw himself entirely upon the mercy of the Court. Prisoner's parents were most respectable, and were very grieved at this yielding to such a temptation. If it was a question of expense they would be most ready to meet it. Everything that could be done in the future would be done to assist the youth to retrieve his character. Had it not been for his confession he would have asked them, was there sufficient evidence to make a conviction in the matter? After the first feeling had passed the prisoner at once told the truth. There was no evidence that he had the third pair of boots. If their Worships decided to send him to prison he feared he would come back worse than before. He asked their Worships if it was not a case where justice would be tempered with mercy? If they bound him over to appear on his own recognizance, he would return to his father, where he would be taught to do all in his power to retrieve his character. He would urgently and respectfully ask them not to send him to prison. His father was anxious to do everything he possibly could, not so much to save him from hard labour, but to rescue him from the terrible course upon which he had entered. If they bound him over to come up for judgment when called upon it would give him a chance to do better in the future. After a short private consultation, the Bench decided to give the prisoner 21 days imprisonment, with hard labour. ~ from: Jackson's Oxford Journal (Oxford, England), Saturday, August 25, 1900, Issue 7693.
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 hear about the passing December 27, 2007, of
Charter and Lifetime CFA Member, Sarah Elizabeth Fowler Johnson.
Our condolences go to her daughter Elizabeth Callaway Johnson
Miller and all her family. Sarah Elizabeth's line of descent is
as follows: Elizabeth Miller, also a Lifetime Member of CFA, kindly sent us a copy of the obituary and the following very nice note. To the Callaway Family Association, It is with sadness that I am informing you of my Mother's death on December 27th 2007. She had always loved the Callaway line and enjoyed all her journals! My Mother helped us all keep track of the Callaway line. She was the one who helped all of us realize the importance of family history. We all enjoyed her stories of the Callaways. If you check the CFA Journal Volume XVII, 1992, you will see my daughter, Amanda Callaway Miller McGahee had written an article about the old Callaway Home, Tuskega. She learned most of what she wrote from my Mother's stories passed down through me. I am sending the obituary from the Knoxville paper. It is sad to lose both of my parents but I also know that they are together and that they are happy and that gives us all peace. Sincerely, P.S. Amanda is graduating this year. She is a pediatrician; Dr. Amanda McGahee. Editor's Note - The story written by Amanda (at the age of 11) is published on the CFA Blog.
If Walls Could Talk - A Reminder of the Upcoming Show I would like to thank Judy Howe for
letting us know about an up-coming episode of, If Walls Could
Talk, on HGTV (Home and Garden Television). The episode will be
featuring the house of Seaborn Callaway from the following line
of descent: Donna, CFA Members Visit Across the Pond I would like to thank CFA Member, Bill Callaway who lives in British Columbia, Canada, for sending us news about his recent trip to England and his visits with CFA Members there. CANADIAN VISITS ENGLISH “COUSINS” One of the great benefits of belonging to the Callaway Family Association is the opportunity to make strong and lasting friendships with some of the members. This was made very clear to me on a recent whirlwind trip from Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, Canada to London, England on May 7–14, 2008. My main purpose was to visit a couple of ailing relatives on my mother’s side, but I managed to contact three CFA members whom I had met previously, two of them at the famous “international” get-together at the Pitcher and Piano Pub in Richmond-on-Thames in September 2001. Please check out the CFANet Archives for October 2001 for an account of that meeting, and for a link to Bill Piper’s article and photos about it. My first side trip, by bus and train, was to Basingstoke, Hampshire to go to Friday dinner at the home of Geoff and Lyrian Callaway along with their 3 lovely children – Scott, Alyssa and Hayley. Scott, you may recall, is Dr. Bruce Callaway’s grandson who won an invitation in 2006 to Buckingham Palace to help celebrate the Queen’s 80th birthday. (See the August 2006 Newsletter for Geoff’s photos of that occasion). Geoff and family are from Australia but have been living and working in England for the past several years. I first met him at a CFA Annual Meeting in New Orleans (2000) and again in San Diego in 2003 when he was working in California. It was a fine evening of reminiscing and learning all about the game of cricket and Geoff was even kind enough to drive me the 50 or so miles back to London, aided by his portable GPS. I hope he was not too tired to umpire (or is it referee?) the cricket match the next day.
The following day, Saturday, I headed out of London on the train to Staplehurst, Kent, to have lunch with Bill and Barbara Piper at their wonderful 400 year old house right in the centre of town. After a delectable meal, we went for a lovely drive through the beautiful countryside of Kent and were blessed with warm, sunny weather which showed off the scenery at its finest. Before I caught the train back to London, we had several photos taken in the Piper’s garden. The one below shows the camellias which were in the picture that Bill submitted to the Newsletter for the May issue. At that time they were covered in snow. What a difference a few weeks will make!
My final outing was a 2 day visit with Brian and Pamela Willoughby in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Arriving at lunch time after a two hour bus trip from London, I was taken directly to a charming English pub called The Green Dragon Inn. Then another lovely country drive ensued, this time through the “indescribably beautiful” Cotswolds. Perhaps the highlight for me was stopping at Gloucester Cathedral, which started in 1089 as the Abbey church of a Benedictine monastery. We were lucky enough to be there when the magnificent organ (3925 pipes) was being played. It was built in 1665 and rebuilt in 1971. Interestingly, the composer of the tune to The Star Spangled Banner, John Stafford Smith, (1750-1836) was the son of a Gloucester organist. Brian Willoughby and I first met in 2001, at which time we decided that we were the only two male members of CFA (at least International CFA members) who possessed grey beards. I refer again to Bill Piper’s photos of the Richmond-on-Thames occasion. So we thought another picture in 2008 would show the progression of the ever-greying beards.
Of special interest to me was Brian's "genealogy room" which contained a massive amount of research which he had accumulated over many years of work. What amazed me most was how he was able to locate even the remotest item, including his handwritten notes taken on a certain date. There surely is a story in this for a future newsletter. Brian and Pamela will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary in 2009. CFA will no doubt wish to send them a congratulatory message at that time. Let me conclude by saying that the incredible hospitality shown to me by my three “cousins” and their wives made my whirlwind trip to England so very worthwhile. It is my honour to be counted among your friends. And hopefully, Rosemary and I will be able to reciprocate one of these days in Qualicum Beach. Bill Callaway A New Callaway/Kellaway Web Site - Family Trees From Medieval England To Modern Times Be sure to visit Lesley Haigh's new web site. She has done an excellent job in bringing together so much information that has been gathered on many of the very early lines of the C/K family. As well as the medieval records, there are modern families from all over Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire. Lesley is one of our hardworking "International Researchers", who has added so much information to the history of our family. The link to her web site is: http://www.leshaigh.co.uk/
Hello
Everyone, Each “Tree” probably represents months (or more) of careful reading and discussion by the research team of the available documents, sometimes in Latin, or old English scripts (which can be very difficult to read) and then piecing together the clues in order to construct the most likely Tree. The later Families need records from Parish Registers, Wills, Property transfers, DNA and just scraps of information from various sources to track the families through time and correctly organise them.
All
records are subject to change as new evidence emerges and
everyone should try to personally verify anything they use. I
hope people will send contributions and comments or questions to
me at my email address. An Opportunity to Support Our US Troops Gary C. Callaway of Houston, TX supports the US Military troops deployed overseas by volunteering for the Operation Paperback Organization.

It is called TopTenReviews.
They have done extensive
reviews on the leading genealogy software brands. You can read
these reviews at this link: Fraudulent Genealogy Web Sites - Beware Just a warning - as you surf more and more genealogy web sites, beware. Some are scams. The following article appeared in the Daily Herald, Provo, Utah last week. This is from Mike Ward of Ancestry.com: "Potentially Fraudulent Sites Posing as Genealogy Web sites ... We have recently become aware of three Web sites purporting to allow family history research: SearchYourGenealogy.com, Ancestry-search.com and Australian-Ancestry.com. The sites claim to have 'the largest online genealogical search tool' and promote themselves as the foremost resources for genealogy, but from what we can tell, these sites are nothing more than a series of Web pages with links to other services. These sites, in our opinion, are clearly fraudulent. "On each site, potential customers are lured to purchase under what we feel to be false, misleading and deceitful promotional material, and get little or no value out of money spent at the Web sites. Blog and message board posts from the community confirm this opinion." You can read the entire article at blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2008/04/10/potentially-fraudulent-sites-posing-as-genealogy-websites/. Some readers of Ancestry.com's blog and Eastman's newsletter include OneGreatFamily and www.italianproject.com in this list of fraudulent sites. Apparently, there is also a site that mimics the new FamilySearch site. So, buyer beware.
U. S. Joseph Callaway Line This month we have two more
Revolutionary War Pension Applications for brothers, James and
Micajah Callaway, from the Joseph Callaway line as follows: Pension Application of
James Callaway: W9771 On this tenth day of October, 1832. personally appeared before the Honorable David Todd, Judge of the Howard Circuit Court, in the State of Missouri, James Callaway a resident of Howard County Missouri, aforesaid, aged about seventy six years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he enlisted in the army of the United States, in the year 1777, with Captain Henry Paulding, and served in the Regiment under the Command of Col. John Bowman, of the Virginia State Line, and proceeded under them to Kentucky, for the purpose of defending the frontier settlements, at and near Boonesborough. He remained in the service, under the officers aforesaid, for the term of six months, the period for which he entered the Service, where being stationed between thirty and forty miles from his Captain, and an opportunity offering to reenlist under Captain Daniel Boone (since Col. Boon) he did so, neglecting to take any discharge from his former officer – in fact, not deeming it of any importance in the then condition of the Country. He remained stationed at Boonesborough under C[apt] Boone until about the first of January 1778 when he was detailed, among others, to proceed to the Blue Licks and make salt for our provisions for the garrison. Here he remained employed until about the 8 of February following when the whole party with whom he was were taken ([him] self among the number) by a party of [Shawnee] Indians and taken to their Towns in Ohio (near where Chillicothe now stands) where, after remaining several days in Consultation, it was at last determined to send a portion of the prisoners (himself among the number) to Detroit, which they reached in May. Here, he understood, he was purchased by the British Governor ([Henry] Hamilton) and remained until November following, without having much to do except attend roll-call every Sunday morning. About this time, he was employed by a resident merchant to go on service for him some distance, and being about to depart, was required, before leaving, to take an oath of fidelity to his then Majesty George III. This he peremptorily refused to do, and was therefor instantly put into prison and confined 14 or 15 days, when he was taken out and sent under guard and in Irons to Fort Niagara, where he remained in Irons and guarded about two weeks, and was thence placed on board a ship and transported to Buck Island [possibly Duck Island in Lake Ontario], thence placed on board a boat and sent to Montreal, where he remained about two weeks, and was then placed on board a sloop (tied hand and foot) and sent to Quebec, where he was put in Jail and kept there something like two years, when he was taken out and sent to St. Pauls Bay [Baie-St.-Paul], which he reached in October or November, in the year 1780. He remained here (a prisoner as aforesaid) about twelve months, when he was placed on board a ship and sent around to New York. He was not landed however, but transfered to a “Catel” and transported up the North [Hudson] River, to Dobbs Ferry, between thirty & forty miles above New York where he was either exchanged or parolled – he cannot say which – the only paper he received being a permit from an American officer (whose name he has forgotten) to go home or wherever he pleased. He returned home, to Bedford County in Virginia (the place where he was born in the year 1756, or about that time, as he has no record of his age). It was in this County, also, that he resided, when he entered the Service as aforesaid – and having enlisted in the month of May (as he believes) 1777, and returned on the 24th day of December 1781, he computes the whole period of his service at four years and upwards of Seven months. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency of any state in the Union. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year
aforesaid. Editor's Note - James Callaway's pension application was approved and he received $40. per month, for service as a private, from Sep 1831 until his death in 1835. Pension Application of
Micajah Callaway: W6646 On this 29 day of September 1832 personally th appeared in open Court before the Judges of said Court now sitting, it being a Court of record, Micajah Callaway a resident of said County and State aforesaid aged about 74 years, who being duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7th 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated: that he entered the service as a Volunteer in Bottertourt [sic: Botetourt] County Virginia, by joining a company under Captain Henry Paulding of the Virginia militia, this was in the month of April 1777. The company consisted of about one hundred men – Immediately after joining said company, he marched with said company under said Paulding to Boonsborough [sic: Boonesborough] Kentucky, and served in said company under the said Paulding about 9 months. He then volunteered under Col. Boon [sic: Daniel Boone] and in February 1778 he was stationed at the Blue Licks [in present Nicholas County] with others making salt and whilst there he was taken with twenty six others, Col Boone among the number by a company of Shawnee Indians of upwards of one hundred, and conveyed as a prisoner with the others to the little Miami – James Callaway [pension application W9771], Jesse Cooper, Nat Bullock, John Holly [S9588], William Brooks and Sam’l Brooks were among the number of prisoners. – He remained a prisoner with the said tribe of Indians from that time for five years and five months, during which time he moved with said tribe to different places in Ohio. After the tribe was driven from little Miami by a party from Kentucky, it took its station on Mad River, and remained there about one year, then moved up the Big Miami about 20 miles, remained some time, then moved to a small stream emptying into Miami, and from that place the tribe was driven, by a party under Gen’l. George Rogers Clark seven of the Indians being there taken prisoners, the Queen of the nation being among the number (her name Lamatumqui) the tribe then took their station on St. Mary’s remained there about three months. he was then employed as an Interpreter on behalf of said tribe, to go to the falls of the Ohio to treat on the subject of exchange of prisoners – Seven Indians went with him to that place, for that purpose, the exchange took place after he had been there about 7 days. Gen’l. Clark being there at that time, by whose assistance this declarant was released at that time – he was in some other places with said tribe during the time he was a prisoner which are not now particularly recollected but he is positive that he was a prisoner as he has stated for about 5 years and 5 months during which time his suffering from stripes[?], hunger cold and the privations incident to a prisoners life among Savages are indescribable – After his release he was variously employed in the service of his country in defending the frontiers against Indians. He was a Spy for Gen. [Anthony] Wayne 4 months, and was employed as interpreter in making a treaty at Limestone for the exchange of prisoners, and also at the mouth of Big Miami he acted a Interpreter for Gen’l. [Arthur] Sinclair and Gen’l. [Richard] Butler – that he has no documentary evidence, and that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his service – He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State – He is acquainted in his present neighborhood with John Kingsbury, Joseph Green, Buter[?] Booth, Eli W Melott[?], Gen’l. John Depauw, Col. Jonathan Lyon, John Curry and Ebenezer Patrick, who can testify as to his character for veracity, and their belief of his services as a Soldier of the Revolution. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid Micajah (his X mark) Callaway NOTE: On 6 July 1853 Franky Callaway applied for a pension stating that she married Micajah Callaway in Garrard County KY in 1804, and he died 11 April 1849. The application includes a copy of a bond signed by Micajah Callaway and James Davis on 3 April 1805 for the marriage of Callaway to Francis Hawkins. On 30 March 1855 Franky Callaway applied for bounty land, giving her age as 80 years and the date of marriage as April 1804. She received pension payments of $40. monthly from Mar 1853 until Mar 1864. 1812 Flanders Callaway House - nominated for the Register of Historic Places in 1969. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources - National Park Service web site has made available the entire National Register of Historic Places nomination application for the Flanders Callaway House. It is a remarkable document in great detail, 28 pages long including many photographs. You can view it in PDF format on our web site here. Following is The Statement of Significance from the document and several of the photographs of the house: The Flanders Callaway house, built ca. 1812 by Flanders Callaway, son-in-law of Daniel Boone, is primarily significant as one of the first American settlements made in what is now Warren County. House stands today as a witness to the early expansion and settlement which occurred in the trans-Mississippian West. Used as a residence, trading post and fort, the house offers an insight into the conditions prevalent on the Missouri River frontier during the first and second decades of the 19th century.
It is architecturally significant as a rare example of early Federal style house of log construction, designed with a degree of elegance in frontier surroundings. The elegance of the house in design and construction reflects the refined tastes of its builders and their ability through fine craftsmanship to construct a rather formal and refined dwelling utilizing material and means at hand.
Flanders Callaway and his wife Jemima (second eldest daughter of Daniel Boone) journeyed to Missouri with Daniel Boone in 1799 and settled in the Femme Osage River Valley. Callaway received grants 10b and 299 from the Spanish Lieutenant-Governor "crossed by a stream which joined the Big Femme Osage near the eastern border of his survey" named the Callaway Fork.
Sometime before 1812, Callaway and his family moved to an area near the junction of Charrette Creek and the Missouri River, where he built of hand hewn walnut logs, the early federal style house. A French Village called La Charrette was located in this area as recorded by Lewis and Clark in 1803. Lewis and Clark describe this settlement as "consisting of seven small houses, and as many poor families, who have fixed themselves here for the convenience of trade. They form the last establishment of whites on the Missouri." I would like to thank
Martha Truax for sending us additional information to add to
last month's article about Charles
Clinton Callaway and a great photo of Charles and his wife
Virginia. Charles Clinton
Callaway's line of descent is as follows: Hi Donna,
U. S. Peter Callaway Line
I would like to thank Ruth Welch for sharing the following postcard and information about the family line of William Ira and Nancy Jane Callaway of Tazewell Co. IL.
Hi Donna,
As promised, attached is a
copy of a postcard of the Callaway School, Spring Lake,
Tazewell County, IL. It was in the possession of my
husband's aunt, Margaret O'Keefe Goodin of Pekin, IL, who
passed it on to me when I started researching the family
and found the Callaway connection.
The postcard is addressed to
: Mrs. Minnie A. Morris, Manito, Illinois. There is no
date, and the stamp has been removed, but I am
guessing from the age of the one known person in the
photo, that it would be around 1910. (Minnie is the aunt of the
Gilmores and Earl O'Keefe in the photo. She is of the
Callaway line below, daughter of Lettice McFarland.)
Names (as written) on the
back of the photo are:
Maggie Carrington
Edna Gilmore
George OHare
Frank OHare
Edna M Gilmore (name listed
twice?)
Birtha Gilmore
Earl O'Keefe
Myrtle Carrington
Elen Carrington
James Gilmore
Otto Gilmore
James Carrington
Earl O'Keefe is 5th from the
left in the dark shirt with white suspenders. The
Gilmores are his cousins and are of the same Callaway
descent, but I cannot identify them nor any of the other
children in the photo, nor do I know of any relationship
to the Callaway family.
I believe the Callaway
School was named for William Ira Callaway, brother of
Nancy Jane Callaway McFarland, who I believe was on the
school board and lived in that area of Tazewell County.
His line of descent is Peter
Callaway
William Callaway, Sr.
William Callaway, Jr.
Isaiah Callaway
Elijah Washington Callaway
Josiah Isaiah Callaway
Nancy Jane Callaway

This month we hear from Robert Kallaway who happens to be a descendant of this line. A grandson of John Kallaway, Harold Kallaway, immigrated to the US in 1919. We welcome Robert as a new CFA Member and subscriber to the newsletter. Hello Donna...
We recently joined CFA and
signed up for the
CFA newsletter list...not sure why
it took so long! Anyway...I've recently taken up the
challenge of tracing our little branch of the Kallaway
name...and was more than delighted to see your note from
Kathleen Kallaway who lives near Devon. This is a valuable
bit of info for me as I was pretty much at a standstill
until I saw this. I have written her an email for a few
more details and hope to hear back soon.
My grandparents are the
Harold & Evelyn mentioned in her note. I have been able to
fill the tree back from them in pretty good shape so far.
So, now I can press on!
If anyone has any additional
suggestions, I would greatly appreciate hearing you. Thank
you!

Query # 482
Hi Donna!
I was wondering if
anyone has any info, or if you have heard anything,
about any Native American ancestry in the early Callaway
lines. I'm sure it's in there somewhere.
I have just
submitted to DNA fingerprint and whole DNA testing
(pricey as it is) to try to hammer down my Native
American possibilities. Since I am female, this is the
best combination of testing. Although it won't point to
a specific tribe or line, it gives percentages which may
get me headed in the right direction. Thanks!
As always,
You do a great job!

Query # 483 My ancestor is Micajah Callaway, who has been established thru DAR. When and where is the next family association meeting? Editor's Note - I wrote to Carolyn telling her the details of the 2008 CFA Meeting in Nashville. I hope she is able to attend.
Query # 484 My grandmother is Nell Grace Callaway b. 1929, d. 1964. I am looking for a picture of her or any of her family. Any help appreciated.
Query # 485 Being a newbie, I am wondering how I should post a request for information.
My grandmother
was Adaline Henderson Norris Wilkie Callaway. She
married John J. Callaway in Spalding County, Ga. abt
1907. John J. is the one I am trying to find.
He married
Jessie Blalock / Spalding County, Ga. abt 1902. We
don't know what happend to Jessie.
He married
Adaline Henderson Norris Wilkes abt 1907 / Spalding
County, Ga. John J. and family were listed in the
1910 census as John J. Calaway, Adaline Calaway,
d/ May Omie, d/Willie Ruth s/ John Hill. My mother
was Rosa Lee Callaway b/abt 1911 in Spalding County.
I have a picture showing John J., Adaline, Willie
Ruth, John Hill, and Rosa Lee (at about 6 months).
The 1920 census
shows Adaline Callaway as a widow and head of house
with Willie Ruth , John Hill (abt 12) , Rosa Lee (abt
9). This indicates John J. died sometimes after
1911-1912 and early 1920.
Some
information we have indicates he was born about
1858 but this could not be verified.
Other information indicates he was married several
times but could not be verified either.
Thank you again
for your help and I really enjoyed your newsletter.
Regards,
Toney Murphy
Query # 486
Hi, Donna. I have a
question for you.
Query # 487
I was just surfing around the web to find out more about
my family tree as very little is known.
I found a website called callawayfamily.org. It had
links to view relatives of certain Callaway’s and when I
clicked them it diverted me to a roots web page. It gave me this email address to
contact.
I'm not sure what site you are associated with or if you
can even offer me any help, but if you can, it would be
appreciated.
Thank you, Editor's Note - I wrote back to Ryan and here was his very nice reply. Can anyone help Ryan identify his Callaway family line? It is a "Mystery Callaway" family at this time.
Hi there,
All the information I could really give you is that my
great grandfather is James Malcom Callaway who lived
Thank you for your help.
Query # 488
Hi, Editor's Note - Thanks to Lesley Haigh, and published on her web site is information that has been gathered about the C/K families in the Wellington, Somerset County area of England, and includes this spelling - Calway. You can see this information at this link: http://www.leshaigh.co.uk/kellawaymod/wellington.html
Query #
489
Hi Donna,
My Callaway ancestry
is English and I was hoping someone who receives the
newsletter might be able to help me find my ancestor? I
have been stuck at:
SAMUEL
CALLAWAY/CALLOWAY who married MERCY THOMAS in
HOLLINGBOURNE KENT in 1759. He was probably born circa
1730 and was recorded as being of 'CHART SUTTON'
although someone told me once that they couldn't find
his christening there.
I was just hoping
that perhaps one of the researchers focusing on England
might have found something that might be helpful?
Samuel and Mercy
lived in the Stockbury/Newington area of Kent after
marriage and had my ancestor SAMUEL there in 1768.
Thank you,
Tamara - Australia
