with esteem the name you were given; The Editor's Corner N A S H V I L L E H E R E W E C O M E On Friday's tour one of the stops will be "The Queen of Tennessee Plantations", Belle Meade. It is a stunning example of the grandeur of the South's Greek Revival Ante-Bellem architecture. Completed in 1853, it has now been restored to its original beauty. The world renowned plantation was known for over 100 years for the fine thoroughbred race horses raised there.

The Newest Little Callaway Congratulations to Sylvia Costin, Grandmother and CFA Member on the birth of her newest grandson, Cade McCoy Costin.
Hi Donna, Hope you
are having a wonderful summer. I am excited to
announce the birth of my newest grandson, Cade McCoy
Costin, who was born in Panama City, Florida, on Friday,
August 8, 2008. His parents are Mark and Kayce Costin.
Mark is my youngest son, and the grandson of Herschel
"Pete" and Almeida Partee Parrish. Cade is therefore
their great grandson from the Peter, Job, Jacob Callaway
line.
U. S. Joseph Callaway Line The following Historical
Inventory of the Old Callaway Place is actually the Henry Tate
Callaway home in Franklin Co., VA. This family line of descent
is as follows: Works Progress Administration of Virginia
Historical Inventory Old Callaway Place 1. Subject: Old Callaway Place 2. Location: .6 miles east of Callaway, Virginia, on Route #641, house on north side of road 3. Date built: about 1830 4. Owners: 5. Description: This house built by Peter Callaway is situated on top of a bluff overlooking Black Water River. It commands an excellent view and is one of the earliest examples of Colonial Architecture in Franklin county. Some of the large oaks are left in the yard and here and there a shrub or rose bush but there is almost no grass left and when last visited, weeds were inches high, with small path leading through them to and from the house and barn. The Chimneys are large and deep and as straight as when put up. The brick in them was burned on the place and age has colored them beautifully. A large basement with dirt floor has been bricked up and has 4 small windows placed in the foundation, level with the top of the ground. These windows have three panes of glass about 12 x 14, placed length-wise and covered with wooden grating, this grating is in good condition, but the inside frames of glass are cracked and broken. Hand-made nails were used through-out the framework. As seen in the basement the framework was of hand hewn timbers put together with wooden pegs. The weatherboarding has beaded edge and the cornice is very elaborate, both of these are in good condition, with no traces of paint left on them and it was stated the house had not been painted in 50 years. There was evidence of a small stoop or porch over the front entrance but this had been removed some years ago and merely showed on the weatherboarding where it had been. The front entrance is a double door, 3 panels to each door and all other doors are 6 panel, evidently oak, put together with wooden pegs. The rooms are large, with high ceiling, except in the "L" which is one and one half story with 2 dormer windows on second floor. 6. Historical Significance: Peter Callaway built this house on the land he had inherited from his father, Henry Callaway, who in turn had inherited it from his father, known as Henry Callaway the Elder of Bedford County. Unfortunately Peter and his wife died young and the house was inherited by their small daughter, Mary, who was adopted by her uncle James Callaway with whom she made her home until she married Robert Early Hale in 1885. They moved near Rocky Mount so the Callaway home continued to be rented until she sold it to Medad Prillman in 1893. He and his family lived there for years and kept the place up fairly well but after his death the place was inherited by a married daughter, Mrs. John Wilson who lived in another state so it continued to be rented and there is no evidence that any of the tenants have appreciated it in any way. Mr. Ike Prillman, age 76, a life-long resident of the neighborhood and who owns some of the Callaway farm said he could remember as a child the place was a "show place", and was one of the best kept places in the county, but he added "it is remarkable the house is still standing with the rough treatment it has had", but it goes to show the old timers knew how to build a home to last. Sources of information: Court Records: Clerk's Office, Franklin County, Rocky Mount, Virginia Will Book Volume 13 page 290 Architectural Description: Editor's Note - Happily this home is still standing today and in good condition. During the 1979 Roanoke, VA CFA Meeting, the owners at that time graciously offered a tour for the attendees of the meeting. This picture was taken at that time.
The Henry Tate Callaway House is presently being restored by Mark Jones who also entertained the CFA members during their tour. This house was built about 1820. The signature of a James G. Callaway and the date April 1, 1832 appears on the bedroom wall. Henry Tate Callaway was the son of James Callaway, Sr. and Sara Tate Callaway. He was married to Polly Guerrant, daughter of Peter and Sarah Guerrant. They had a son James whose middle name might have been Guerrant, according to some researchers. (Editor's Note - today we believe that Henry Tate Callaway's son was named James Steptoe Callaway, so perhaps the initial in the signature is actually an S.) This house was due for demolition in recent years to permit the re-routing of the road, but fortunately, the highway department was prevailed upon to change the location of the road to go around this old home. A Callaway family cemetery is
located behind the house and includes 3 Callaway graves, listed
below, from this line of descent:
~ The picture of the house and the information which follows the picture are from The Callaway Journal, Volume V, 1980, pp. 17-18. The Monett Triangle - 1940 Yearbook, Monett Junior High School, Monett, MO One of CFA's charter members and who served as CFA's Historian for many years was Bobbie Callaway. Sadly, she passed away in 1996. This month I ran across a copy of her Junior High School Yearbook on line. In it was this picture of Bobbie. I know she would be delighted if she could see it now. This is the 1939/40 Junior High School Pep Club of Monett, MO.
Bobbie's Callaway ancestry is as
follows: U. S. Peter Callaway Line The following article is from the Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia, August 3, 1919. Movies in the Schools Manchester is a comparatively new town with machine shops of the A. B. & A. (Atlanta, Birmingham, and Atlantic) railroad and cotton mills as leading industries. Professor M. O. McCord is superintendent of the city schools and is doing splendid work in building up a good system. He is an enthusiastic advocate of moving pictures in schools, as they have proven of great help in his work. He also has the hearty co-operation of a very live Parent-Teacher association. One evidence during the past twelve months, by using moving pictures the association has made $1,400. which was put into school improvements, including a fine piano. Professor McCord opens both high and mill school with educational moving pictures at 8:15 o'clock every morning. He has no tardy pupils nor absentees, as they are all Johnny on the spot to see the show. The morning I was there in the thirty minutes devoted to the movies, we had three lessons, viz; one in agriculture, showing evolution in machinery for harvesting wheat, showing great crops in the golden west, enough to create a desire in many young hearts to go to the farm. The second was a lesson in geography showing a city in France, the manner and customs of the people, and a recreation lesson, as it showed a winter show scene, including every kind of winter sport for grown-ups as well as children.
The mill section of Manchester, owned by the Fuller E. Callaway interests of LaGrange, is known as Mill Town. Paved streets, waterworks, church, clubhouse and a $40,000 picture theater erected for the benefit of children and their parents indicate a very progressive spirit. Miss Laney Michael is principal of the mill school and has made such a success with it that she has been promised a new school building to cost $40,000. Editor's Note - I would like to thank Kaye L. Minchew, CFA Member and the Director of the Archives at the Troup County Historical Society in LaGrange, Georgia. She graciously searched for these photos for me and sent me copies. She also included the following link to an article about Manchester's history that she has written for the Georgia Encyclopedia web site. http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2234&hl=y

Mary descends from the Peter Callaway line through her great
grandmother, Donna Calloway as follows: Dear Donna,
I would like
to thank Linda Farmer Ames for sharing the following photo of
the gravesite of Willie Florens Callaway Harms. Willie descends
from the Peter Callaway line as follows: Hi, I recently was in the Gulf Shores, Alabama area and photographed the majority of the gravesites at the Wallace and Miller Family cemeteries (Gulf Shores & Fort Morgan). I added the interments and photos of the gravesites, which include a number of the Callaway and Harms family members at the www.findagrave.com website. You can see the entire list of those buried in the cemeteries, with the exception of a few whose stones or markers were no longer able to be read. Because I like to find the missing puzzle pieces, I looked up Hendrick Harms in RootsWeb and found your site. Cresie Grey Harms Snow is also listed. I have all of the photos available if you would like them - a gift to you as a fellow genealogist. I'd be glad to mail you a CD. Have a great day! Linda Farmer Ames linaka31904grace at knology.net

Ray is a writer and local historian and lives in Ocean Springs, MS where this home is located. The James Calloway family that lived in the house from 1948 until 1987 was African-American. The following census records seem to fit this family. Can anyone add to or correct this information? They are a "Mystery Calloway" family. Descendants of Wash Calloway Generation No. 1 1.

Construction on Wilson Louis Carter's new house began in 1906, but was destroyed by a hurricane that same year. Construction began again and was finally completed in 1912. This event was reported by The Pascagoula Democrat-Star on October 5, 1906, which related, "the new houses of Mr. Joe Weider (sic) and Wilson Carter, colored, in process of erection were entirely demolished". Wilson Carter lived in the house until his death in 1942, and then his wife Lettie sold the home to Delia Stewart (Stuart) Calloway (1912-1985) on February 26, 1948. Delia was married to James Calloway (1907-1987) probably in the Baptist Church. Calloway was born in Birmingham, Alabama. His father was Richard Calloway and mother, Eliza Massey. James Calloway had a brother, Robert Calloway, and sister, Mary Brewster, of Birmingham. Mr. Calloway made his living as the gardener for Walter Lindsay. Lindsay, an entrepreneur, lived in Milwaukee, but his winter home was in Ocean Springs and was called Shore Acres. Later, James Calloway was a supervisor for the Public Works Department of the City of Ocean Springs. He died on August 5, 1987. When James Calloway died on August 5, 1987, he legated the house to a niece of his deceased wife, Marie Stewart Oliver, of Chicopee, Massachusetts. She is the present owner. James and Delia Calloway are interred at the Evergreen Cemetery at Ocean Springs. The house has been empty since the death of James and is slowly demolishing by neglect, and if appropriate measures aren't taken soon, it is in danger of being lost. The Carter-Calloway House is located in the L&N (Louisville & Nashville) Railroad Historical District. The Queen Anne style structure was described in a historical sites survey by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History as follows:
"The Carter-Callaway House
is a two-story, side gabled, wood frame building, which rests
upon continuous brick foundation walls. A rear wing with a low
hip roof extends to the east. The facade is four bays wide with
transomed single-leaf doors in the outer first floor bays. The
inner bays have floor length double-hung sash windows which
maintain the dimensions of the entrances. Four less vertically
proportioned openings are arrayed across the second floor. A
four-bay, two-tier gallery which features a relatively elaborate
display of stock sawn and spindle mill work extends across the
facade. Two-story bays, which project from the side elevations
give the house a nautical flavor. That on the north is two-sided
and projects to an acute angle suggest a ship's bow. The
stern is formed by a southern semicircular bay sheathed in
imbricated shingles." Thus the house's nickname became - The Steamboat House. The house received substantial damage inside and outside from Hurricane Katrina. Through the Mississippi Department of Archives and History a grant was allocated to replace the roof. But further damage still remains. ~ the above information about the house's history and the picture of the house are provided by Ray L. Bellande. For much more historical information about Ocean Springs, visit his web site at: http://www.oceanspringsarchives.com. I would like to thank CFA Member, Bill Piper, who lives in Kent, for sending me this story of a Calloway WWII Hero. Can anyone recognize him and tell us more about his family? He is a "Mystery Calloway". It is sad to note that Ernie Pyle (WWII War Correspondent) was killed in action on Apr 18, 1945, only 25 days after he wrote this column.
Saturday, Mar 24, 1945 Exclusive in Victoria to THE ARGUS IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC: Destroyers love to pick aeroplane pilots out of the ocean. When they rescued our Lieutenant Jimmy Van Fleet, of Findlay, Ohio, after his plane had plunged over the side, it was their 15th rescue. They keep a score just as carriers keep a score of the planes they shoot down. They even keep records of their speed and try to set new records. They fished Jimmy out seven minutes after he went over. Their record rescue is three minutes. They put Jimmy to bed, got the water out of him and some morphine into him, and sewed up a gash on his head. The doctor joked as he sewed, telling Jimmy he was sorry he could not find a bigger needle, so that it would hurt more. Jimmy didn't get a sick stomach until next morning, when he tried to eat some breakfast. He had a headache the next day, but after that was all right. TREATED LIKE KINGS Destroyers treat rescued pilots like kings. They put Jimmy in the skipper's private cabin, since the skipper was on the bridge day and night, anyhow. Jimmy wore the skipper's bathrobe, house slippers, and underwear. The skipper came in a couple of times to take a bath, and actually apologised for intruding. Fishing out pilots is such a frequent occurrence that the skipper even keeps a bundle of brand-new toothbrushes in his medicine cabinet for such sudden guests. By the time Jimmy came to, the laundry had washed and pressed his clothes. He didn't have a wallet with him, so his pictures and private papers were spared a ducking. This certain destroyer has fished out so many pilots that it has a scroll already printed for such cases, and all it has to do is fill in the name. It is a picturesque certificate, like you get when you cross the Equator. Across the top of Jimmy's scroll were engraved the words: "The ____'s Home for Dripping Aviators." Beneath it was this: "Know ye that Lieut James Van Fleet on such and such a date abruptly appeared into our happy home, and, due to the peculiarities of his arrival, has been found worthy of being honoured as ____'s dripping aviator." Engraved over the scroll was a huge arm reaching out from the destroyer, hauling a wet flier out of the ocean by the seat of the pants. CARRIER'S GESTURE They returned Jimmy to us three days later, when they were delivering messages and mail from the flagship. They sent him over in a bo'sn's chair pulled across on a line strung between the two ships. We got Jimmy on board, and then we sent something back across in the chair to the destroyer. You'd never guess what it was-it was 20 gallons of ice-cream. Our carrier always does that when a destroyer rescues one of our pilots. Apparently all carriers don't, for the destroyer sent back a scribbled note, saying: "Thanks a lot; that's the nicest thing that has ever happened to us." After they told me the whole story we sent a signal back to the destroyer asking for the names of the two men who rescued him. The destroyer came right back: "The swimmer was Seaman 1st Class Franklin Calloway, of Philadelphia, and the one who helped was Radioman 3rd Class Melvin Collins, of Otumwa, Iowa." RESCUERS HONOURED They are smart on that destroyer, because a few hours later there came another message saying: "If that information is for the Press, they might add that both men received Bronze Stars for similar rescue work during operations off Leyte last fall." Jimmy Van Fleet is 25, and was a school teacher before he became a fighter pilot in the Navy. He has a seven months' old son whom he has never seen. Jimmy asked me, if I had ever been in Vienna. He said it was his dad's "dream city." His father was a private first class in the last war, and spent three years in a hospital in Vienna, and has always wanted to go back. These columns are probably the first news Jimmy's folks have had of his little mid-ocean escapade. It is glorious news alongside the last grave message they had. For Jimmy's only brother, Ensign Donald Van Fleet, also a carrier pilot, was killed off Formosa just a few months ago. He got two Japanese planes in two weeks before he himself was shot down. We are grateful that the sea gave Jimmy back.

Query # 502
Hi,
On googling my
maiden name on the web, I just found an Oscar Hamments
who is somehow connected to your Callaway family?
My father was
Charles John Hamments.
It's very exciting. We
thought the Hamments were dying out and in fact my
father sadly passed on in May at age 97. He is the
last of that name in our family. Imagine our
surprise to find the name is alive and kicking in the UK
and the USA! I
am wondering if there is a connection?
My father came from
Middlesex in England. His family originally came
from Bristol and I discovered a family tree on the web
last year that traced our family back to a James
Hamments of Wales who was born I think in 1765!
Regards,
Kim New (nee
Hamments)

Query # 503 Dear Donna
Morgan,
Response to Query # 498 (August
2008 Newsletter)
Since I just
recently returned from a Missouri trip to visit
relatives in Audrain, Callaway and Boone counties, I was
intrigued by your query. I drove within a few
miles of Old Monroe, Lincoln County, and would have made
some personal inquiries had I seen your query before the
trip.
Query # 504 I was born in Augusta, Ga in 1983. My father is Teddy Lyna Callaway and my Grandfather is George Callaway of Baxley, Ga. I would like some help on researching my ancestry. Thank You
Query # 505 Does this association also have information on African American Callaways? My grandfather was a Callaway from the Athens, GA area, but he was an orphan and there's not much information about his family. Thanks.
Query # 506
Hello, Ms. Morgan.

Query # 507
Greetings to the
family of Samuel Callaway sent to you from the
community of Callaway, Nebraska.
I have been
reading your website and find it very interesting.
I am glad you
have placed the history of our community on your
website--of course, named after Samuel Callaway, one
of your ancestors.
We are making
contact with you because we are searching for direct
descendants of Samuel Callaway as our community will
be celebrating our 125th anniversary in June of 2010
and we would love to have some of Samuel Callaway's
descendants visit. We are hoping some great
grandchildren could make the visit to our community
sometime during 2010. We are also trying to
contact other families of the early railroaders for
which some of our streets are named.
But our first
contact is with you, family of which our community
was named.
For more info on
Callaway, Nebraska, check out our website (we are in
the process of updating)

I hope to hear
from you. Thanks very much.
Query # 508 In the 1854 estate filing for John W. Hodges who died without issue, one of the listings is "heirs of Sallie Calloway." She is listed under "heirs of Clarinda McKinney" who was a sister of John W. Hodges. I am hoping that someone in your group can confirm or squash my guess that Sallie was a wife of William Calaway who appears on the same page of the 1850 census as Jos. McKinney who was Sallie's father. Any assistance your group can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
