Dear Donna,
STANLEY H CALLAWAY  Visitation: Sunday, August 9, 2009,

Services in celebration of his life will be held at 11 AM Monday, August 10 at Calvary Church of the Quad Cities, 4700 53rd St. Moline, Illinois. Visitation will be 1-4 PM Sunday, August 9, at Weerts Funeral Home, Kimberly at Jersey Ridge Road, Davenport. Stanley was born in 1919 in Sheffield, Illinois to Charles and Laura Callaway. He married Marjorie Hintermeister on July 2, 1955 in Davenport. She preceded him in death in 1987. Stanley was a clerk at the Davenport Post Office, retiring in 1984 after 27½ years of service. He was an active member Calvary Church of the Quad Cities and enjoyed walking, reading, and the Chicago Cubs. He served his country in the US Army during World War II. Survivors include his son, Paul (Kristin) Callaway, of Davenport; daughters, Dawn (Tim) Beavers of Davenport, Ruth Holst, of Davenport, and Beth Campos of Eldridge; eleven grandchildren; and a sister, Helen Robertson of East Moline. He was preceded in death by his wife, his sister, Barbara Spees and his brother, Gerald Callaway. In Memory We were very sorry to hear about the death of CFA Member, Betty Silvey's Mother, Martha Williams Draime. Our condolences go to Betty and all her family. Donna,
My Mother,
Martha Williams Draime, died Monday, 27th July
2009 at the age of 93 yrs, 5 mo, 21 days. Am
sending pictures and her obit. First picture
was about 1938/9 and second one a few years ago.
She lived a
good life and her mind was sharp right up to the
end. She had had an aneurysm for a number of
years. It did not rupture, but dissected so
death was not immediate, but within a couple of
hours. She died peacefully.
Through her
and her father's cousins, Helen and Mable
Matlock, and Florine McChesney, daughter of
Minnie Callaway McChesney, I came into many old
letters written during the Mexican War, Civil
War, and WWI and II as well as pictures of the
Matlocks, Callaways, McChesneys and related
families which she had looked for when she knew
I was starting my genealogy search. Only one of
the early pictures, a Civil War picture of
Clinton DeWitt Callaway, had a name, the others
I believe I have put names to just by research
and which family they came from. She had taken
care of Florine McChesney Dawson as well as
Helen and Mable Matlock and had inherited
the contents
of their respective homes. The latest pictures
she had come across, and I received from her in
May, I believe were of her ggrandparents Edwin
H. and
Matilda
Matlock Callaway taken early 1850's as well as
one of her ggGrandfather George Matlock,
Matilda' s father. It happened to be a broach
pin that looked to be the same one that his
wife, Margaret McKirgan Matlock, was wearing in
a picture that my cousin has of her. She was
fascinated that I had come up with so much of
our history as her father had died of Typhoid
fever when she was less than two years old and
her Grandparents had died while she was a
child. Her Mother would not tell her or did not
know of the Callaway history. I am fortunate
that she had kept them even tho she had no idea
of who they were except for the ones she had
personally met before they died.

Published in Orlando Sentinel on August 14, 2009 Editor's Note - On Aug 15, 2009 this very nice article appeared in the paper about Herschel.
Orlando Sentinel Herschel H. Parrish Jr.'s life was rooted in Florida farmland
Herschel Hooper Parrish Jr. was always
interested in the issues that affected
his community, said his wife of 44
years, Sandra Beck Parrish. And for
several decades, that community was
rooted in Florida agriculture. In Memory
Editor's Note - Peter W. Kellaway descends from John Kellaway of Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England. John Kellaway's descendants are published in the Feb 2008 Newsletter. The Calloway Canal I would like to thank Marcella Cagle for sending us this picture of the Calloway Canal. It was featured in an article in the June 2009 Newsletter.
Hi Donna, I
thought this picture might also be of
interest to you. It was published in
the local newspaper (Bakersfield
Californian) addition titled
"Bakersfield Life", historical section,
in June 2008. As you will note, it
made no mention of O.P. Calloway, and I
wondered why it was called the Calloway
Canal, so when I saw the article in the
CFA June 2009 newsletter, it answered
my question.
I would like to thank Pat
Schnurr for identifying Martha Callaway, one of the
"Mystery Callaways"
from last month's newsletter. I would like to thank CFA
Member Gene Lierheimer for sharing his new Callaway family
connection. Gene made a connection on Ancestry.com to
someone who also descended from Edmund Callaway. Now we have
additional information about descendants for this following
line of descent. Dear Mr. Lierheimer, The
following is an article written in 1987 and published in the
CFA Journal that year. There are still questions regarding
the actual children of this couple. They are from the
following line of descent: Who Are the
Children of William & Milly Callaway?
William Callaway (son of
James and Sarah Bramblett Callaway married in Clark Co., KY
on 5 January 1802. Milly was the daughter of Achilles &
Mary/Polly Bush Eubank. William died ca. June 1813 in Clark
Co., KY and his widow married secondly John Callaway.
(Editor's Note - John Callaway was the
nephew of her first husband, William Callaway.)
William Callaway is
shown in the 1980 Callaway Journal, pages 68 and 80 as the
son of James Callaway, Jr. However, further research brings
doubt that he belongs in this family. In the
letter John Callaway wrote in 1840, He writes, "Uncle
William's children all live here." Was he referring to the
children of William and Milly? The 1980 Callaway Journal
does not show a William, son of James Callaway, Sr. in the
family chart. John also wrote, "All my brothers and sisters
are in this State but one, she lives in Bourbon Co., KY." A
DAR record of Mrs. Mattie Harrison Cochran, who was born
after 1866, says her mother was Mary E. Callaway Harrison
and her grandparents were William and Milly Eubanks
Callaway. This record
says William was b. 1786, son of James Callaway, Jr. The DAR
was not formed until 1890 (35 years after the death of Mary
Callaway Harrison). The only other indication this
researcher has found to claim William as the son of James
Callaway, Jr. was in the book, Revolutionary War Soldiers
Buried in Missouri, page 43. This book had an error on
the birth year of two other children of James Callaway, Jr.
Official papers obtained from the archives pertaining to the
Revolutionary War record of James Callaway, Jr., names his
children, including his daughter, Sally, who was no longer
living as was noted on the paper. Surely if William had been
a son of James Callaway, Jr., he too, would have been
mentioned. The
names of the children of William and Milly Callaway have not
been proved, but they probably had five or six children in
the 11 1/2 years they were married.
It seems fairly certain
that one of their children was Sarah Mariah Callaway (b.
1811, Clark Co., KY; married 20 Oct 1843, Cooper Co., MO,
John Thomas Ware, who was probably the son of Presley and
America Corbin Ware.) Sarah Mariah and John Thomas Ware set
out for Oregon with Charles Callaway in 1852 and Thomas Ware
died 26 May 1852, 20 miles west of Fort Kearney, Nebraska
along the Oregon Trail. Sarah Mariah and her children went
on to Oregon and settled in Lane Co., OR, near Charles
Callaway and his family. Her Children were: Sidney Coanza
Ware b. 1845 MO; m. 17 Mar. 1861 Caleb Woodward & had 7
children, Robert B. Ware b. 1849 MO, Stephen B. Ware b.
1849, Mary Ann Ware b. Aug. 1850 MO; d. 5 Oct 1930 Lane Co.,
OR; m. 4 Jan. 1865 Andrew J. Carson & had 6 children. (Death
certificate of Mary Ann Ware Carson says her mother was
Maria Callaway.) In the 1860 Lane Co., OR census, a male
shown as A. Ware, age 20, born MO is with Sarah Mariah Ware
and her family. Relation of A. Ware to the rest of the
family is unknown by this researcher.
Another child was
probably Mary E. Callaway (1809-1855) who married 1827 Cosby
Berryman Cochran. According to DAR records Mary E. died when
her son, William Henry Harrison was about 13 years old and
another record shows Milly Eubanks Callaway died 1843.
Another child might be
Stephen E. (Eubanks?) Callaway, who died at age 46 on 28
July 1853 in Howard Co., MO. He married 2 May 1836 Mary Ann
Reynolds in Howard Co. He was not a son of James Callaway,
Jr., as James, Jr. had a son Stephen White Callaway b. 1838
in MO.
If Sidney C. Callaway
(married 10 Nov 1842 Cooper Co., MO, Robert Douglas Paxton)
was a dau. of William and Milly Callaway, she would have
been at least 29 years old when she married. She may have
been a dau. of John and Milly. However, one is reminded that
Sarah Mariah Callaway Ware named a daughter Sidney Coanza.
Maybe there are some
descendants of these people who can help solve this puzzle.
If so, please contact us.

These early Callaways who married in Delaware are probably
members of the Peter Callaway line. Does anyone recognize
any of these Callaways?
Delaware
Marriage Records, 1744-1912 I
would like to thank Anne Leyden for sending us this death
announcement about a "Mystery
Callaway". Could he be Langhorne
Chiswell
Callaway from the following line of descent?
Who Am I?
I don't see him on the CFA
web site.
I would like
to thank CFA Member, Lesley Haigh who lives in the UK for
sharing this discovery. The Kellaway family of Black Torrington
scattered far and wide, with some members going to Australia and
others to the US.
Hello
everyone,
Susannah Hooper is my gt gt grandmother and my link to the
Kellaways is her mother Susannah Kellaway, (d.1832). Hope you
find it interesting.
Query # 540 My idea in joining the
newsletter is that I might see some chatter among the
descendants of Joseph Adolphus--since there were so many of
them and living in one area (Montgomery). I know almost
nothing about the Callaways. In fact, I never been to
either Birmingham or Montgomery. Query # 541
Callaway Family Association:
My father was Earl Callaway (no middle name), born in 1905
and raised in the small community of Schaal, Arkansas, in
Howard County. His parents were Jasper Callaway and Rosa
Lee Young Callaway. I have been trying to get more
information on Jasper. I know he was born in March, of 1850,
in Arkansas. On the federal census of 1900 he listed his
father and mother as being born in Georgia and Ireland,
respectively. He was 34 years older than my grandmother,
and was widowed from two previous marriages which each
produced 3 or 4 children. My grandmother and he also had 3
children. Jasper died when my dad was very young, so Dad
did not pass on much information about his father or his
grandparents to me or other family members. My grandmother
eventually remarried and moved to Texas and had additional
children with her second husband. From other census
records, Jasper appears to have lived in Caddo, Louisiana,
and Howard County, Arkansas, where Schaal was located.
Records also indicate some of his earlier children were
born in Texas. I have been unable thus far to find a grave
site for him, or even an accurate death date. My dad did
tell me that upon his father’s death, he recalled Jasper’s
brothers coming from Tennessee for his funeral. He also
told me that at one point in his early years his name was
spelled Calaway with one L, but that his dad changed the
spelling by adding another L, to differ from another
non-related family. Indeed on earlier census records
Jasper’s last name is spelled with one L.
My immediate family has been in Ellis & Navarro Counties of
central Texas for all my life and since my bad came to Texas
from Schaal, Arkansas as a young man. My dad died in 1978
and is buried in Rice Cemetery, Navarro County, Texas. For additional information, please contact me.
Editor's Note - Please welcome Earline, who is a brand new
member of CFA. In checking census records it may be possible
that her family line descends from the Joseph Callaway line
as follows below. Can anyone confirm or refute this ancestry?
