Always regard with esteem the name you were given;
 with praise and renown that it should endure. *

 The Editor's Corner

The following is a perfect description of the folks that make up the Callaway Family Association. While we don't get to see one another on a regular basis, we know that we have made friends that last a lifetime. It reminds us all that life is short . . . friends are precious.

Two Horses

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it.
From a distance, each looks like every other horse.

But if you stop your car or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing.
Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind.

If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell.
Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the
smaller horse in the field.
Attached to her halter is a small bell. 
It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is always checking on him,
and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where she is,
trusting that she will not lead him astray.

   

When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops
occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Good friends are like this. You don't always see them,
but you know they are always there.

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.
I look forward to hearing from you.

In Memory
It is with sadness that I received this note from Faith Lechaton, about the passing of Mary E. McCallister. I know we all send our condolences to Faith and the rest of her family.

Another Random Act of Kindness

I would like to thank Linda Hackney for generously sharing the following document with us. In it are mentioned John and William Callaway of Bedford Co., VA.


Hello Donna, 
I was doing some research on my Hylton family and I came across this Rev. Pension paper for Nathaniel Hylton who is my 4th great uncle.  While reading over these paper I found I noticed there were two different Callaway's listed.  Wondering if you know who they are related to?  Maybe someone is or might be looking for them.
Hope this will help some researcher....

Pension Application of Nathaniel Newman Hylton: R5467
Transcribed and annotated by C. Leon Harris
 
State of Virginia}
County of Patrick} SS
            On this 15th day of July 1837 personally appeared in open Court before the Justices of the Court of the County of Patrick now sitting as a court Nathaniel N. Hylton a resident of Patrick County in the State of Virginia aged ninety three years who being first duly sworn according to the 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 this declaimant volunteered in the company of Capt. William Calloway in the County of Bedford now Campbell in the State of Virginia in the year 1780 and marched immediately to the head of the Appomatox river at the house of one Brambos and was stationed there about three days and this Dclnt. marched again to Molly creek and remained there several weeks and finding Col. Tarleton was not coming up the County as it was anticipated, he was marched by his Lieut John Legg to Blufords gap [sic: Buford’s Gap] to repel the incursions of the Tories from Green Basin on the West of the mountains and so immediately head quartered at New London having been on this engagement at least three months. He this affiant was stationed at New London guarding the magazine as a minute man under Col. Charles Lynch and Capt Jerry Early in the company of Capt. John Callaway occasionally making little excursions against the Tories and to prevent the insurrections of the negroes in the surrounding county Time there 2 two years. He recollects guarding an Capt. Gutridge a notorious traytor who was captured down below Williamsburg in Virginia and brought up to New London in Bedford County Va. to prevent the British from rescuing him, about eight months during this time before mentioned. He saw and was acquainted with Genl Stueben at New London when he was there which was about three weeks.
            In those excursions from the garrison at New London this affiant marched through Pittsylvania and Halifax Countys Va. to [two words illegible] of the Horse Pasture now in the County of Henry Va. When this affiant made the excursion to the Horse Pasture he marched under one Capt. Thomas Henderson. This affiant saw Genl. Bluford [sic: Col. Abraham Buford] as he passed New London on his way to the South before his defeat. But owing to this particular line of duty which he had to perform he never was in any battles, but was principally confined to the garrison before named and its vicinity. His great age and consequent loss of memory combined with the fact that he is an illiterate man has not only prevented him from stating accurately the dates and events of his service as completely as he would wish to do, but he thinks he is unable to state the service itself precisely. One thing, however, he is satisfied is time that he was engaged in the service of the United States more than two years at the places and under the officers before stated. His discharges have all been lost, and in fact his illiteracy and helpless situation has placed it beyond his power to report his claim as soon as he wished, for a Pension. In fact he has been dependent on the aid of others, and has been anxious for the last four or five years to take steps to secure from the government what he thinks he is entitled to from the hand of his country. This affiant is poor helpless and very nearly blind and has been unable to travel any distance for several years. He omitted to mention that he was a private during the whole of his service. He has no documentary evidence nor does he know of any living witness by whom he could prove his service. He was born in Va. in County of King and Queen and was removed by his parents to Prince George County in Va. and from thence he came [one word illegible] to New Kent and from New Kent to Hanover Va., thence to Goochland, thence to Albemarle thence to Amherst and thence to Bedford and from there to Patrick, all counties in Va. –
He hereby relinquishes any claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not found on the Pension Roll of the agency of any state.
            Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
                        Nathaniel N. hisXmark Hylton
 
NOTES:
            The head of the Appomattox River is in Appomattox County east of the town of Appomattox. Molly’s Creek is in the southeastern part of present Campbell County. Buford’s Gap in Bedford County VA crosses the Blue Ridge between Roanoke and the city of Bedford. New London, now in Campbell County southwest of Lynchburg, was the first seat of Bedford County.
            William Calloway, one of the first white settlers in Bedford County, commanded a fort on Pigg River during the French and Indian War. Charles Lynch is often said to be the source of the term “lynching,” because of his harsh treatment of Tories in an irregular court he ran.
            In April 1781, after recovering from the costly victory at Guilford Court House NC, Major General Lord Cornwallis began his attack on Virginia at Portsmouth. With him was Col. Banastre Tarleton, whose notorious Legion began lightening raids to the west in attempts to disrupt supplies and government and to engage the outnumbered troops under Lafayette. Apparently the Patriots had expected Tarleton to pass through Bedford County, but instead he sped past, covering 70 miles in a single day. On June 4 he captured several Assemblymen at the temporary capital in Charlottesville, and he just missed capturing Governor Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. In the meantime Baron von Steuben, credited with transforming the men at Valley Forge into soldiers, had been left to guard military supplies at Point of Forks at present Columbia on the James River. He retreated under attack from a British detachment.
            Tarleton’s reputation had been cemented the year previously by an incident referred to as Buford’s Massacre. Col. Abraham Buford, mentioned in Hylton’s application, with several hundred Virginia soldiers had been on their way to relieve the besieged city of Charleston SC, but on hearing that the city had surrendered on 12 May 1780, they retreated northward. Cornwallis sent Tarleton’s Legion in pursuit, and on 29 May they met at Waxhaws SC. After Buford surrendered, a gunshot spooked Tarleton’s horse, and thinking he had been shot, his troops bayoneted many of the surrendered Patriots. (Tarleton was the model for Tavington, the arch-villain in the fictional movie The Patriot.)
            Nathaniel Newman Hylton died sometime after 1840 without receiving his pension, apparently because his name had been spelled differently on other documents. On 15 June 1852, his son Edward Hylton, in behalf of all the children, applied for the amount due & appointed Nathan Hunt of Washington D.C. his attorney.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts

I received the following email from Allie Griffith-Nelson. Bobbie Callaway (1927-1996), a Charter Member of CFA and CFA Historian for almost 20 years, was a member of the National Society of Women Descendants of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts. Are any of our CFA Members or newsletter subscribers members of this organization, or the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts? We would like to know more about the work of these fine organizations.

Donna, 

I remember reading in one of the journals that the late Bobbie Callaway was a member of the women's "Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts".
I have always wanted to join that particular group but have never been able to find out how. Do you think anyone in our group could supply information on this subject?
 
Thanks for all of your help!

In Memory

I would like to thank Peggy Ackerman for sending me this obituary information for Dr. James Clayton Callaway. He descends from a "Mystery Callaway" family line which has been discussed several times in our newsletters (March 2005 and August 2006). Our DNA project has shown this line to descend from the Peter Callaway line.

James Clayton "J.C." Callaway, M.D., 72, of El Dorado, died Tuesday, May 29, 2007, at his home. J.C. was a retired orthopedic surgeon whose service to his community was known throughout South Arkansas and beyond. He was also a devoted husband, father, grandfather, golfer, pilot, Cold War veteran, country music fan, world traveler and philanthropist.

Memorial services for Dr. James Clayton "J.C." Callaway, 72, El Dorado Ark., formerly of Tyler, are scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday at First Presbyterian Church of El Dorado with Dr. Dan Loomis officiating. Arrangements under direction of Young's Funeral Directors, El Dorado, Ark.

He was born Sept. 2, 1934, in Tyler to the late Clayton and Fay Simmons Callaway. He attended Tyler Junior College, University of Texas at Austin, and University of Texas at Galveston Medical School. He then served at the U.S. Public Health Service in Carville, La., and at the U.S. Leprosy Hospital where he performed reconstructive surgeries. At the same time he served in the National Guard, and later attended Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans where he completed a residency in orthopedic surgery. After Hurricane Betsy in 1965 he received the Louisiana Pelican Medal for his service during the disaster. He lived in El Dorado, Ark., since 1966, was a member of First Presbyterian Church, and retired after 36 years of practicing orthopedic surgery. He had served as Chief of Surgery at Union Medical Center and was a member of American Medical Association, Arkansas State Medical Society and Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. He was also active in civic organizations, serving on the board of directors of South Arkansas Community College, and supported the South Arkansas Arts Center.

Committed to community service, J.C. also gave of his time and resources in areas outside the medical field. For a number of years, he served on the Board of Directors of South Arkansas Community College. J. C. loved golf, and he shared his love of that sport with others. He volunteered as coach of the El Dorado High School golf team and helped coach that team to state championship. J. C.'s golf achievements were many. A single hole-in-one might suffice the average golfer, but J. C. managed to score such a feat seven times in his lifetime, each time at the El Dorado Golf and Country Club. He also served on the Greens Committee and on the Board of Directors for  the El Dorado Golf and Country Club. A few years ago J.C. won the Guadalajara Senior Golf Championship.

J.C. and his wife Pat, who married in 1957, loved to travel together, with family and with friends. They often traveled to foreign countries with friends and also went on family ski trips to Colorado. A few years ago the entire family went to Hawaii. One of their favorite places to go was the Gulf Coast, where the children loved the beach. Their means of transportation to the coast was usually J. C.'s plane, which he piloted.

Survivors include his wife, Pat Callaway, El Dorado, Ark.; sons, Dr. Jace Callaway, Kuopio, Finland, Dr. Matthew Callaway, El Dorado, Ark., and Thom Callaway, Hilo, Hawaii; daughter, Beth Callaway Rothwell, E. Dorado, Ark.; sister, Susan Callaway Stallings, Tyler; and five grandchildren.

Honorary pallbearers are Norwood Phillips, George Haefner, John Trimble, Doyle Barentine, Tom Baumgardner, Paul Bilger, Gene Stringfellow, Billy Blackburn, Gen. R.H. Burris and Thomas Rumph.

Family will receive friends 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home.

If desired, memorials may be made to Life Touch Hospice, 2301 Champagnolle Rd., El Dorado, Ark. 71730; or J.C. Callaway Memorial Scholarship Fund, care of Share Foundation, 403 W. Oak, Suite 100, El Dorado, Ark. 71730.

I ran across an interesting query on the Calloway Family forum at www.genforum.com. It was posted by Michael C. Hardy, author and historian. He is writing a book and was seeking additional information on Callo/away soldiers that served in the 58th North Carolina Troops, a Confederate regiment from western North Carolina that served in the Army of Tennessee during the War Between the States. I recognized three of the soldiers and I responded to the query with the information that CFA could provide about their ancestry. He replied immediately with gratitude and gave me the following information about the service records for each of the three Callaway men I had mentioned. He does speaking engagements and I think Mr. Hardy might be a very interesting speaker at one of our future CFA Annual Meetings. You can read about him on his web site at: http://www.michaelchardy.com/.

Carson of Knoxville, and one daughter, Mrs. Dixon McCarty of Chattanooga; seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild; an only brother, John L. Callaway of Knoxville.
A woman of strong, simple faith, her Christian influence will long be felt in the home, the church and the community.

U. S. Peter Callaway Line

I would like to thank Leigh Callaway and Lynne Kuhn for providing us with information and pictures regarding the Parham Callaway family line and their historic cabin built in 1853 in Missouri. Parham Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
 Peter Callaway
John Callaway
Edward Callaway
Isaac Callaway
John M. Callaway and 1st wife Elizabeth Smith
Parham Callaway

Editor's Note - The following comes from Leigh Callaway:

As noted in the May 2007 issue of the CFA Newsletter, there is project active to preserve and relocate a Callaway landmark near Marshfield, Missouri (Webster County).   The historic Callaway Cabin, built in 1853 by Parham and Nancy Kirk Callaway, will be moved from its original location to a park within the city limits of Marshfield.  The Webster County Historical Society is in charge of raising funds to move and restore the cabin.   

A CFA member, Leigh Lawrence Parham Callaway (a great great grandson of the cabin’s builder), contacted the Webster County Historical Society.  The Society has responded positively to the suggestion that donations be accepted from CFA members to dismantle, move and reconstruct the cabin.  The Society has a 501(c) (3) status and all donations are tax deductible.   

Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so payable to “Webster County Historical Society – Callaway Cabin.”  Donations can be mailed to:

Webster County Historical Society
PO Box 13
Marshfield, MO 65706

The Society will keep a record of names, addresses and amounts donated with the understanding that donations will be refunded should there not be enough collected. 

The cabin stands four miles out of Marshfield on East 38 and P Highways.  The cabin is across from Ebenezer United Methodist Church on land owned by Leeray and Diane (Burnett) Keeler, who have generously donated the cabin for relocation. 

Parham Callaway's line of descent was noted in the May 2007 issue of the CFA Newsletter.  According to RootsWeb.com, the surviving offspring of Parham and Nancy Callaway were:

John A. Callaway, born Dec 1845 in Stanley County, NC
Mary Ann Callaway, born Aug 1848 in Stanley County, NC
James Postell Callaway, born Oct 1849 in Stanley County, NC
Thomas P. Callaway, born about 1851 in Stanley County, NC
Marvel Callaway, born Dec 1852 in Webster County, MO
Sarahan Louisa Callaway, born Mar 1855 in Webster County, MO
Rozina Callaway, born about 1856 in Webster County, MO
Cynthia Eve Callaway, born about 1858 in Webster County, MO
Eve Callaway, born about 1861 in Webster County, MO
Henrietta Callaway, born Feb 1864 in Webster County, MO 

The cabin was documented by Dr. Guy Drennan Callaway, Sr. in an article which appeared in “The Webster County Historical Society Journal,”  Number 2.  Dr. Callaway was a grandson of Parham.  His parents (James Postell and Martha Melissa Bruton Callaway) lived for many years on the property where the cabin is located.  Dr. Callaway’s mother (Melissa) wrote in her 1923 memoirs:

“As soon as my husband’s [i.e., James P. Callaway’s] second time as collector was through, we decided to buy the old home place and we moved back, built a good modern building and settled down to farm life, I thought.  And here on October 3, 1889, Guy Drennan was born.”

He went on to a distinguished career as a physician in Springfield, Missouri.   Again in the words of his mother:

“Guy D. attended high school at Marshfield, State Teachers College at Springfield, and the state university at Columbia – teaching part of the time to secure money to go on.  Having decided to study medicine he went on and graduated from Missouri University then went to Washington University for two years – and where within a few weeks of graduation he enlisted in the Navy in the Great World War… He married during the war Miss Ruth Brown.  After being released from service he settled in Springfield, Missouri, to practice his profession.”

Dr. Callaway was a founder of the Smith-Glynn-Callaway Clinic in Springfield and many current residents of Marshfield still speak fondly of him as having been their physician.  He passed away in June, 1976, two months after the article was published.  In a note to Leigh Callaway, he said that he was “born in 1889 and did not write the article in 1889 but cannot remember first when I wrote it.”

The Original Callaway Home
Written by Guy D. Callaway, 1889 

The hewed log house was built in 1853 by and for Parham Callaway and his wife Nancy Kirk Callaway, who had come from Stanley County, North Carolina in 1852.  They had first settled near the creek about a mile northwest of here, but the nearby spring did not supply their needs, so they selected this spot for their permanent home because of the larger spring which is located about one hundred yards to the south at the foot of a hill.

Not long after the log room was built, an additional room was added on the west and it was made of pine lumber with oak framework, the pine lumber having been hauled by ox teams from near Rockridge in Ozark County.  A fireplace was built in the west end of it, with brick from a Marshfield kiln.  The attic of both rooms was floored and some of the children slept in this overhead space.  There was a porch on the south extending the length of the two rooms.  A log smoke house was located about thirty feet south and east of the log room and a two stall log barn with a hay loft was built about one hundred yards east, with a corn crib close to it.

A road that connected the ‘Big Road’ about a mile northwest, passed by on the north of this house, and another fork of it was on the west and ran down by the spring, thence to the south and east.

This part of the state was more open then than it was forty or fifty years later.  Big timber was found only in the creek bottoms but the hills and flat land was covered with grass, “high as a horse’s belly and would hide a calf.”  There was more range grass than animals to eat it.  Trees were small and scattering and a “person could go anyplace in a wagon where it was not too steep.”  Deer and wild turkeys, as well as small game, was plentiful.

Nancy and Parham Callaway had thirteen children, ten of them living to a good age, with descendants, most of whom at one time lived in this community.  Seven of the children were born after they came to Missouri.  Parham Callaway died in 1864.

Robert Smith Callaway, an older brother, came to Missouri in 1845 and at one time lived on the creek about a mile northeast of here.  Another brother, Freeman Callaway, came to Missouri in 1852 and lived about a mile east at another good spring. Both raised large families of boys and girls.

During the war between the states, my grandparents had lost most of their livestock to marauding parties. Not long after grandfather’s death and just a short time before the Battle of Hartville, a considerable number of Confederate troops were camped at the springs along the Marshfield-Hartville road about a half mile north.  They somehow found out about two bay mares that grandmother had kept hidden out and sent a detachment to get them.  Grandmother would not tell them where the mares were, but the troops searched the premises and when they could not find them, they came back to the house and told her if she didn’t tell where the horses were they would take her daughter (Aunt Mary Ann, then sixteen years old).  At that threat, grandmother told them where the horses were hidden.

After the soldiers got the mares they came back by the house and told grandmother that they would give her a team if she would send her “little boy,” (my father, then fourteen years old) over to the camp.  He went with them and was given two very poor horses with harness and saddle sores so bad that they were useless to the Army.  He brought them home, got their sores all healed and some flesh on their bones, and they made a good team for several years.

My father, James P. Callaway, bought the farm from the Parham Callaway heirs, and grandmother Callaway continued to live here until her death in 1898.  James P. Callaway and his wife, Melissa Bruton Callaway, owned the land and lived on it most of the time until 1928, and had the present residence built in 1888.  When I (Guy D. Callaway) acquired the property in 1928, the old house was no longer suitable for living purposes.  The west room was torn away, a new roof and flooring was put in and two logs replaced on the north side.  It was lived in after that by farm employees for several years.

In 1967, the house was again needing repairs and the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Burnett made the necessary repairs: new flooring, new roof, repair work about the fireplace, new chinking between the logs, and the porch on the south replaced.  It is their intention to preserve it as a community landmark.

Early Virginia records show Callaways present in that state in 1639, 1646 and 1665.  Some descendants remained in Virginia, some moved to North Carolina, some to Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia and from these states to Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Texas.  At present they are scattered throughout the nation.  Some spell the name Callaway and others spell it Calloway.

Editor's Note - The following family photos were shared by Lynne Kuhn:

Hi Donna,
Enjoyed reading the recent Callaway newsletter. I am sending you a page or two from my scrapbook. Parham Callaway and Nancy Kirk were my great great grandparents. Their son, Thomas and Rebecca Shook Callaway , parents to Mary Callaway (married Bruce Downer) and their daughter, Pearl Downer (married Leonard Price). I am the only child of Pearl and Leonard - they are in the photos with Dr. Guy Callaway. My Mother and Dr. Guy wrote to one another often and visited at the Callaway Cabin and at Dr. Guy's home.

Hope others will enjoy these.
Many thanks for all you do!

Hi there,
Got your email address off an internet site with Callaway information. I'm researching Callaways that are connected to the Bram(b)let(t)(e) family. Lately I've been focusing on some Callaways who served in the Civil War/WBTS (see text below) for a war roster. Do you have any information to share about them and their war service?

Thanks!
Deb Dennis
