Callaway Family Association - October 2007 CFANet

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

This month I would like to offer my sincere appreciation to John S. Osborn, Jr. for his generous donation to the CFA archives. He has given us an original letter written by his great great grandfather, Parham Callaway. It is a five page letter in beautiful penmanship with extraordinary punctuation. Clearly, Parham Callaway was an educated man. The letter ends abruptly with no closing or signature, perhaps indicating there was more, which now is missing. The letter is in fragile condition, so I have not tried to scan or copy it. I have transcribed it below so that all of you can read the contents. It is very interesting. Parham Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
Joseph Callaway
Richard Callaway and 2nd wife Elizabeth Jones
John Callaway
Parham Callaway

Following is the very nice letter I received from Mr. Osborn when he sent me the Parham Callaway document.

Enclosed find a letter written by Parham Callaway in August 1894 when he was 76 years of age. Parham was born 21 August 1818. His father, Colonel John Callaway, was captured by the Indians about 10 August 1782 and exchanged about three years later. Parham was my great, great grandfather and this letter was passed down the family to me. He appears to be a little mixed up about several matters. I do not imagine he ever knew his grandmother, the mother of John, since she lived around Richmond or Winchester, Kentucky, 100 miles away. Parham lived until 1901, having married America Yount whose grandfather fought at Trenton, etc.

The letter has always been interesting to me and is one of two items passed down to me. The other is a powder horn in very good condition reported to have been carried by Colonel John Callaway at the battle of the Thames in the War in 1812 and by his father Colonel Richard Callaway at the Battle of Boonesboro.

Eventually, the powder horn will be given to either the Callaway Archives or to the Reconstructed Fort Boonesboro.

I am an 81 year old Kentucky lawyer still going to the office and enjoying work and life.

Dear Sir -
Your letter of the 15th is at hand. In regard to Flanders Callaway I have heard of the name being in the family, but the name does not appear in the record of the old bible which I go by. I intend to send you an exact copy of the old bible, which relates to the record of Richard and his son John. You will see by the record, that Richard married, Margaret Wells, the second time, and they had but one child, John, my father, who married Martha Booker (my mother.) This J. Thomas Callaway you speak of must be a son of Samuel Callaway, my brother, if not I do not know anything about him. This Keziah Callaway was a daughter of Richard's and married Judge Jas. French, a judge of the circuit court. One of my father's half sisters married a Mr. Hickman. I don't know her first name, as we all used to call her Aunt Hickman. You will see by the record that Lathaneath is one of Richard's children - I think the name is either Scotch or Welsh origin. I have never heard of my grandfather serving in any war, but my father (John) was a Col. in the Indian war. My grandfather (Richard) was continually at war with the Indians, and in many skirmishes; but if he was ever in a regular war I never heard of it, this is the way he came to be killed by them; the hostilities having ceased with the Indians, there was not supposed to be any in the community for a year or two, when a small band of them slipped in and killed him on his farm in the year 1778. This shows what bitter feelings there existed between him and the Indians. His youngest and only child, by the last wife, John, my father, having been stolen by the Indians just for revenge; when he was quite a small boy five or six years old, he was stolen by the Indian, while he was out in the watermelon patch, and kept by them three years; his return happened in this way; After his father sought him for a year or so, he must have concluded he was dead. Three years afterward a trader came across him, out in Ohio, near Chilicothe, and bought him with merchandise, he must have known the circumstances of the boys capture, and was anxious to return him to his father. During his absence he was put in charge of an Indian Squaw and became very much attached to her. It is said, as the trader brought him back to his father's home, he saw a little darkey running around the yard, wearing a little red jacket that had belonged to him; he forthwith declared he would kill the negro to get the jacket, and the negro had to take the jacket off immediately; he seemed to have imbibed some of the bloody thirsty spirit of his captors.

Mrs. Timberlake of Winchester, Ky. is a daughter of Keziah Callaway, who married Mr. French. Write to her. Also write to Thomas Callaway's heirs of Cleveland, Tenn.

This is an copy of the old bible in our family, formed in the year 1762, and is perfectly reliable. The records are a history in themselves, having the dates of the birth and death of numerous negroes belonging to the family.

Richard Callaway was born June 1722
Richard Callaway was married to Frances Walton 1745
Sarah Callaway was born 1746
George Callaway was born 1748
Lathaneath Callaway was born 1750
Molly Callaway was born 1752
Anna Callaway was born 1754
Isham Callaway was born 1758
Milly Callaway was born 1756
Elizabeth Callaway was born 1760
Cabel Callaway was born 1762
Frances Callaway was born 1764
Lidia Callaway was born 1766
Docia Callaway was born 1768
Keziah Callaway was born 1769
Richard Callaway (Jr.) was born 1771

Richard Callaway married Margaret Wells (the second time) about 1774, and John Callaway was born Aug, 24, 1775.

Editor's Note - The above appears to be an error. CFA records indicate that Richard Callaway, Jr. married Margaret Wells in 1790. John is the son of Richard Callaway and Elizabeth Jones.

John Callaway was married to Martha R. Booker, 1796.
Richard Callaway was born 1798
John Callaway was born 1801
James Callaway was born 1803
William Callaway was born 1804
Samuel Callaway was born 1807
Elizabeth Callaway was born 1809
Edwin Callaway was born 1813
Keziah Callaway was born 1816
Parham Callaway was born 1818
Patsy Callaway was born 1821

These are all of my father's children, and they are all dead but me. All of us were born and raised in Kentucky, and all died here but myself. This information answers for the Callaways of Louisville, except John J. Callaway, and Jas. H. Callaway.

I cannot make out a complete list of my brother's and sister's families with dates; but will send a list of my children, with dates of births, and if necessary can send names of wives & children. Will also send photograph of myself and wife.

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.
Donna

It is with great sadness that we learn of the death of Sherman Williams on Sept. 24, 2007. He was a good friend to many in the Callaway Family Association, and will be missed by all. Our heartfelt prayers and sympathy go to Sherrill and all her family.

Donna,
I wanted to correct the information on Fred Callaway. This is my great-great grandfather. His granddaughter is still living. His middle name was Hughes not Harper. I am also attaching a few pictures. Thanks,
Trisha Crabtree

This Bible with these family entries was started by WILLIAM THEODORE CALLAWAY and his wife, MARY ELIZABETH MILLER. when they married in February, 1871, in DeWitt County, Texas, Some of these entries were obviously copied from some prior Bible. This Bible was printed in Philadelphia in 1870 but the page with the name and address of the printer or publisher has been lost. This Bible was kept by each surviving member of the CALLAWAY Family after the death of the father [1929] and mother [1938]: the last surviving member, MRS. RUTH LEAH WIEDEMEIER of Walnut Creek, California, has the Bible at this time.

The CALLAWAY-MILLER FAMILY BIBLE RECORD was copied and submitted to the genealogy society by Samuel W. Newman.

I would like to thank Molly Conn of Aberdeenshire, Scotland for contacting us and sharing some family information. Her great grandmother, Margaret (Maggie) Brownie, came to America from Scotland and married Samuel Walter Callaway, from the Peter Callaway line.

I would like to thank Susan Doyle for contacting me and sharing this research and pictures of the Callaway family of Schuylkill and Columbia Co.s PA. They descend from John Callaway, born Aug 2, 1683 in Perranzabuloe Parish, Cornwall, England. They were miners in tin and coal. The ggg grandson of John, James Callaway and his family immigrated to the US in 1857. I would also like to thank Lesley Haigh for submitting the information on the early generations of this family.

Hi Donna,
Enclosed is the Callaway information that matches the "Mystery Callaway" rescue article from the Pottsville, PA newspaper which appears in the Oct 2005 CFANet newsletter. Thanks to Mary A. (Clay) Curvey, Charles & Violet (Graff) Curvey, and Louise Lois Graff, all of the Tamaqua, PA area for all of this information. Mary A. (Clay) Curvey did a wonderful job in 1975. I think she is the wife of Joseph Franklin Clifford Curvey.

These copies are for your Callaway Family Association to do whatever you want. Sorry I'm not related, but I do have natural red hair. I've been reading your newsletters.

Dear Donna and Susan,

I thought you might be interested to have some further information on the James Callaway = Jane unknown from St Agnes line in this month's newsletter.

So now we can add another 4 generations to make this a fairly early English family. Perhaps you would be kind enough to forward to any living relation who may be interested. I may have some extra information if they wish to make contact.

Best Wishes,

Lesley Haigh

~ from a newspaper article written in 1958:

When It Comes To Good Gardens Local Man Says Almanac Does It

How does your garden grow? If it is as contrary as the fabled Mary maybe you'd better take a leaf - or several - from Joe Callaway's book. That book is the almanac which Mr. Callaway, who has racked up a record of near-perfect vegetable gardens every year since 1893, follows to a T. Not just any old almanac either. Joe swears by the accuracy of the Lancaster Almanac published by Baer Brothers and has no truck with any other.

His vegetables are bigger and tastier and he has less trouble growing them because he knows when to plant them. He knows when to plant them because he has been a student of the almanac since he first took a job as a professional gardener in 1893 at Middleport, Schuylkill County.

But - and there's always a but in such near-perfection - the almanac alone doesn't reveal the gardening secrets with a cursory perusal. It takes years of study and interpretation in the light of lengthy experience to really make the signs of the moon pay off.

If your pole beans won't climb and your tomatoes are pallid and puny and your onion sets come out of the earth only a little larger than they went it - it's because you planted at the wrong time of the month, or the wrong time of day and not according to the signs of the moon and the zodiac.

Mr. Callaway says anyone can follow in his footsteps garden-wise but he isn't giving out with any of the knowledge his experience and study has provided. He says there is no substitute for experience and each gardener must come by that through trial and error.

Joe, who lives with his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Callaway, at 123 East Eighth Street, plants a 45 X 181 foot garden each year - and that's a lot of spade and hoe work. He will be 87 years old in August but still does a big percentage of the work himself.

He was born in New Philadelphia and raised at Middleport, Schuylkill County. He remembers the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876 and recalls when the notorious Molly Maguires shot at his father - fortunately they missed.

(Editor's Note - read about the Molly Maguires at Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Maguires. Joseph's father, James Henry Callaway was a miner)

He came to Berwick in 1898 and went to work for the Jackson and Woodin Company. He remained with the firm after it became the American Car and Foundry Company and retired in 1939. Since then he has concentrated on gardening.

He collects almanacs and has every issue of the Lancaster Almanac - with the exception of four years - since 1893. He turns to this book for advice on when to do what in every aspect of his life. His fame as a prognosticator is so widespread that many area people call on him to ask when to have their children vaccinated, when to go to the hospitals for operations and even when to wean their babies.

In regard to weaning - babies or animals - Mr. Callaway says you'll hear plenty of noise for a while if you wean them at a time other than that prescribed by the almanac.

The local gardener realizes many people scoff at his program of following the moon signs but he just points to results as the answer. He doesn't bother with chemical fertilizers or maintain a humus pile for his outstanding garden. A bit of chicken manure and knowing exactly when to plant are the secret of his success. One look at his garden will make the most skeptical scoffer think twice, too.

Joe also follows the almanac in forecasting weather conditions. He says watch out for the 25th and 27th of this month. The ice-box signs in the almanac call for cold weather.

In this photo Joseph Callaway, of East Eighth street, is shown pointing to his pole beans - he grows some of the finest in the area. In the above photo he is shown studying the almanac which gives him information on when to plant. Mr. Callaway says the signs of the moon and the signs of the zodiac - properly understood can make the big difference between an outstanding vegetable garden such as he has each year and the less spectacular ones of persons who fail to follow the signs.

Query # 443
Subject – James Jesse Callaway, Wilkes Co., GA
Submitter - Frederick Hambrecht
email - thambrecht at comcast.net

For the last 25 years I have been compiling a biographical register of physicians who served the Confederacy in a medical capacity. At the present time I have over 10,900 files in my database, but because of duplications through multiple spellings of surnames, etc., I estimate there were about 8000-9000 different individuals who served as physicians. Dr. James Jesse Callaway from Wilkes Co, GA, is in my register. I would be happy to share his Confederate service file with members of the CFA. I would appreciate any information you might have about his DOB, POB, DOD, POD, place of burial, marriage(s) and children.
Thanking you in advance,
