On April 22, 1854, Mary (Polly) Callaway, nee Barret, died in McDonough, Georgia, in her 73rd year. Her obituary in the Christian Index of May 11, 1854 reported that she was the daughter of “Lewis Barret, well known in Wilkes County, Ga., and the widow of Isaac Callaway, deceased of the same county. Mrs. Callaway was left a widow in 1822 with eight children, most of them small and dependent.” Birth records in the Douglas Register (the “diary” of Minister William Douglas) of the St. James Northam Parish (Dover Church), of Goochland County, Virginia, show that Mary was born to Lewis Barret and Jane Price on November 23, 1781.

It is through Mary (Polly) Barret that the descendants of Isaac Callaway Jr. can claim kinship with the First Families of Virginia, including the Randolphs, the Lewises, the Meriwethers and the Warners. As the tentacles of those families spread, they captured cousins Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, other notable Americans, as well as the current Queen of England. If researchers focused on those families are correct, this leads to direct lines from the Plantagenets, the Saxon Kings, William the Conqueror and Lady Godiva.

So how did the Isaac Callaway Jrs. come to merge with these families in 1802? Even before the American Revolution, Georgia’s Governor Wright was touring the Carolinas, Virginia and Pennsylvania offering rich, well-watered lands in northeast Georgia for settlement. Migration increased after the war as the cotton era began. In about 1784, Isaac Callaway Jr., then only 8 years old, is said to have moved to Wilkes County, Georgia, with his uncles Job, John, Joseph and Joshua. His parents, Isaac Sr. and Elizabeth Arnold, remained behind in Montgomery County, North Carolina, for unknown reasons.

Within the next few years, Lewis Barret, a Virginia veteran of the Revolution, also answered the call to relocate to Wilkes County. He was part of a contingent from Albemarle County spurred to move by offers of fine land. He moved with his second wife, Jane Price, their daughter Mary (Polly) Barret (Isaac’s future wife), their son Lewis Barret (Jr.), but not Lewis Sr.’s son Anderson Barret, born to his first wife. It is through Jane Price that Mary (Polly) Barret Callaway and her descendants connect with the Randolphs. As the story goes, Jane’s mother Elizabeth Randolph, granddaughter of William Randolph I of Turkey Island, had disgraced the family by marrying John Price, a man who built buildings for the Randolph estates. A different, perhaps less daring granddaughter, Jane Randolph, married Peter Jefferson and gave birth to Thomas. Lady Godiva and the Saxon kings (including Alfred the Great and Ethelred the Unready) are said to be ancestors of these Randolphs.

Mary’s father Lewis Barret provides the link to the other famous Virginians, William the Conqueror and the British monarchs. He also provides a second connection to the Saxon kings. Lewis Barret’s father, the Reverend Robert Barret, married Elizabeth Lewis. She was the daughter of Col. Robert Lewis and Jane Meriwether (and was explorer Meriwether Lewis’s aunt). Col. Robert Lewis’s mother, Elizabeth Warner, is the other crucial connecting point. In addition to being George Washington’s great aunt, she is said to be descended from dozens of British rulers and her sister, Mary Warner Smith, is Queen Elizabeth II’s ancestor.

So how did the pedigreed Mary (Polly) Barret (then 20) meet up with Isaac Callaway Jr. (then 26) and decide to tie the knot on February 11, 1802? Wouldn’t we descendants like to know? We can but speculate, based upon arrival of the families in Wilkes County at around the same time and upon the relative nearness of the farms. Oh, for a young woman’s diary or a young man’s journal! But if they kept these (unlikely), they are lost to time or perhaps to war. This is where a novelist must take over.

But back to terra firma. Mary (Polly’s) mother, Jane Price Barret, died in 1790, when Mary was only 9 years old. It is not clear exactly what happened but, perhaps in anticipation of Jane’s death, the couple had conveyed to John Crutchfield a trustee’s interest in at least some of the Barret land, for the benefit of Jane Price’s children. John Crutchfield had married Lewis Barret’s sister in Virginia and his family had moved to Georgia with Lewis’s family, so Lewis’s sister may well have raised young Mary (Polly) upon Jane Price’s untimely death. Lewis remarried (into the noted Toombs family) soon after Jane’s death.

My several tasks during my June, 2007, (first ever) visit to Wilkes County included trying to determine where the early Callaways and Barrets lived, finding deeds, wills and marriage records I had been unable to locate in the Georgia Archives, locating ancestors’ graves (I knew the location of none in the county when I arrived) and visiting the Callaway Plantation. Except in the finding graves department, where I succeeded only once, the visit was a complete success.

I could not find the grave of either Isaac Jr. or his uncle Joshua Sr. (another Callaway ancestor of mine) or any evidence suggesting where they might be. But finding Jane Price Barret’s grave was an unexpected treat. In the Washington Georgia library, I found a book giving a census of old graveyards in the county. Among those I was seeking, the book mentioned only Jane Price Barret. It gave a very rough description of where the particular Toombs cemetery was located. Attempting to find it, I skirted the locked vehicle gate on an unposted road and I began walking back towards the city waterworks. My timing was perfect because, just then, a city worker came along. Not only did he not scold me for trespass, but he advised me that the graveyard was not there and he took me out to the private property where he was quite sure I would find it. He had recently installed the electrical hookup for that property, which he called a hunting camp, and he had looked over the graveyard when he was there. What good fortune!

After he returned to work, I returned to the property and, with some trepidation, I skirted a second locked vehicle gate, this time ignoring some no-trespassing signs. I quickly made my way back to the small, rock-enclosed, cemetery containing, among other monuments, a nice stone honoring Jane Price Barret and noting her connection to the Randolphs. The stone had been placed by two of her great-grandsons, Merrel Price Callaway and Irvin Barret Callaway, so I can’t treat it as “proof” that she was buried there, but the inference is very strong, given the connection to the Toombs family, the layout of the cemetery, and location of the marker.

After that I explored some back roads that might well have traced the path young Mary and young Isaac followed between their two farms, and I then went to visit the Callaway Plantation. That was a special joy for a Callaway descendant. True, the property had been owned by Job Callaway, uncle to Isaac Jr. and brother to Joshua Sr., my two Wilkes County migrant ancestors, but it was wonderful to see a reconstruction of Job’s original 1785 cabin and the (restored) two-story house he built and moved into 10 years later. The focus of the plantation is towards the 1869 manor house that Job’s descendants built, but the earlier two buildings were more interesting to me because they suggested how Isaac Jr. and Joshua Sr. might have lived when they first moved into that area.

At the plantation I also found the answers to two questions that had been in the back of my mind: (1) With whom did Isaac Jr. live when he moved to Wilkes County at age 8? Answer: His uncle Joshua; (2) Where in Wilkes County did the 4 Callaway brothers live? The answer to this question was shown on a map printed on the back of a newspaper I was able to purchase. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the publication, dated October 14, 1983, and announcing “The Bicentennial Tour of Callaways in Wilkes County,” was sponsored by The Callaway Family Association, the wonderful people who first straightened out the confused lines in my aunt’s Callaway research. My story has now come full circle.

Here's a Callaway family who spent a century in Dorchester Co., Maryland. Some were farmers, some sailors and some barbers. Most often their name was spelled either Calaway or Calloway. From census records it appears they came from Delaware about 1826 and a strong family of descendants followed. Can anyone identify this family? They are "Mystery Callaways".

Editor's Note - Robin wrote to us and sent us all the information she has gathered on her Callaway ancestors. Below is all the information she provided plus information gleaned from census records. Can anyone help identify this family line? Records indicate that her earliest ancestor is probably a Joshua E. Callaway listed at 30-40 years old on the 1840 Conway Co., AR census. This makes it very likely that Robin descends from the Peter Callaway line because that is where we find the name Joshua used many times.
