The Editor's Corner

Following is a nice note from Carole Romano, meeting coordinator for the CFA meeting in Atlanta. We owe Carole a "Big Thank You" for her hard work putting the meeting together. Carole, you did a splendid job!

To all CFA Hot’lanta Attendees:

A million thank yous for your participation and those who helped in the mailout to the Membership, nametags, registration, memorabilia table, those assisting with bus loading, unloading & with the box lunch on the tour helped make the CFA 2007 Annual Meeting enormously successful! Callaways/Calloways came from “far and wide.” They hailed from Georgia, Texas, Alabama, West Virginia, Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, Michigan, North Carolina, Louisiana, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mississippi and Australia! Our guest speaker, Bernard Welshman arrived from England to expand our knowledge of record keeping in England and the complexity of pursuing the Callaway English lines in the middle ages. Judy Callaway Ostler, CFA President, presiding.

Our hotel, in the heart of Buckhead, was lovely with an incredible staff and a complimentary shuttle to nearby shopping; the meals delicious, the tour delightful and informative about the Georgian people, their history and culture. At the Saturday Evening Dinner, a grand trio from the Hot’lanta Jazzband had quite a few of ninety-six attendees dancing and clapping! But, the most important thing about the Annual CFA Meetings are the Members that attend! What a delightful group! Several members brought their families and there were a few minors! The Callaways and Allied lines are a stalwart group, with some attending despite an infirmity! Casts and crutches were commonplace! We could have used an “in house” doctor” but there were no complaints.

A complete report will be in the 2008 CFA Journal with a list of attendees and those who helped make this a grand CFA event! Again, thank you for making every effort to attend and help us celebrate being Callaways!

We missed those of you unable to attend, do plan to be at the 2008 CFA Meeting to be held in Nashville, Tennessee. Pat Schnurr has and continues to research the area for our meeting.

Again, many thanks to you for being part of a special meeting!
Carole S. Romano

Share your experiences with us and photos also. Everyone who was unable to attend would enjoy hearing about the meeting.

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.

CFA Genealogy

U. S. Joseph Callaway Line

I would like to thank Betty Silvey for sending us some new information from pension papers she just received for Abram Gordan, William and James Matlock. Abram Gordan married Sarah Ann Callaway from the following line of descent:
Joseph Callaway
Richard Callaway
John Callaway
John Callaway
Sarah Ann Callaway

Donna,

I read with interest the letter written by Parham Callaway, submitted by John S. Osborn, Jr.. John, the brother of Parham, being my line. How does this affect the facts already presented? Did Col. Richard Callaway marry Elizabeth Jones Hoy and have Keziah b 1768, and Richard, Jr. b 1770?? or were they children of Frances Walton?? Did he marry Margaret Wells?? and have John, b 1775?? Elizabeth's death is shown as 13 Dec 1813.

Also William Callaway in the newsletter was a brother of John and Parham.

I do have some information to add/correct. I recently received Pension papers for Abram Gordan (written as Gordon), William Matlock and James Matlock.

Abrams's papers show he was still alive 5 Jul 1915 as he signed a Department of the Interior Bureau of Pensions paper answering several questions.

He stated that he was born in New York City, no date given.

He had first married Sally Callaway, did not have an official record, but was married by Rev. ?? Reeves, Greenfield, Greene, IL. She had never been married before. She died 4 Apr 1893.

He then married Ann Winn, who was also deceased. In 1915 he was living with his children.

Question #7: If your present wife was married before her marriage to you, state the name of her former husband, the date of such marriage and the date and place of his death or divorce and state whether he ever rendered any military or naval service, and if so, give name of the organization in which he served. If she was married more than once before her marriage to you, let your answer include all former husbands. Answer: First wife never married before, last wife was a widow. We had no children by last wife but have four living children by first wife all grown and married.

question #9: State the names and dates of birth of all your children, living. Answer: Mary Jones, Sally Speirs ??, Charles Gordan (written Gordon) and Homer Gordan (written Gordon), all over 35 years of age now. Ballance (sic) died single except A L Gordon who left one child Mary Gordon now 15 years old.

Another Pension paper dated 5 Jul 1898:

First. wife's full name and maiden name: Answer: Ann Gordon Ann Winn

Second. When, where and by whom were you married? Answer: Sept 18 th 1893 John Coons Justice , Franklin

Third. What record of marriage exists? Answer: A certificate signed by 2 witnesses

Fourth. Were you previously married? If so, please state the name of your former wife and the date and place of her death or divorce. Answer: Yes, Sarah Ann Callaway Died 4th April 1893

Fifth: Have you any children living? If so, please state their names and the dates of their birth. Answer: Abraham Lincoln Born Oct 13th 1862; Mary born March 1st 1866; Sarah Ann born Nov 27th 1867; Charles born Nov. 9 1869; Homer born Jan 29th 1870; Minnie born March 1st 187? looks like a 2 or 8.

Ann Winn first married Robert Allenbaugh 21 Nov 1852 Greenfield, Green, IL; m #2 Andrew Rynders 22 Jun 1875 Morgan County, IL; m # 3 Abram Gordan 28 Sep 1893 Franklin Co., IL.

Please welcome new newsletter subscriber, Coy Hale of Irvine, California. He has early Hale ancestors in Franklin Co., VA as well as connections to the Earlys and by marriage to the Callaways. He ordered two CFA Journals and so I wrote to him to ask about his connection to the Callaway family. Here is his very nice reply.

Donna,

Thanks for adding me to your newsletter. My Franklin County Virginia Callaway relatives are all very distant and by marriage.

I grew up about three miles from Callaway Virginia, named for an early settler (James Callaway, I believe), located in Franklin County Virginia. All my ancestors either came over with the first Jamestown settlers or shortly thereafter (some were already here). Most settled in the Franklin County area in the early 1700s and many of their descendants stayed in the local area. If you go back far enough, most all of the old Franklin County and Virginia families are inter-related by marriage.

My interest in one of your Journals has to do with Ned Bridges' Civil War Diary. Edward "Ned" Trent Bridges was related to the Callaways and organized a Confederate infantry company at the beginning of the war that included some of my relatives (several great uncles). My Great Aunt Mina Hale married a "Trent" Bridges, who was old Ned's son. Mina's father, Robert Hale (my great-grandfather), was an officer in the Confederate Army, wounded in Pickett's Charge and captured twice, the last time at Saylor's Creek a couple of days before Appomattox. His Brother, David Hale, was in Ned Bridges' Company (and also in a cavalry company) and his daughter married one of the Bridges.

It gets rather complicated, but a Lieutenant Callaway was Confederate General Jubal Early's aide by way of marriage to a Hale. Jubal Early was a Franklin County lawyer who married Mary Hale who was related to the Callaways and the Saunders (the family who built the Washington Iron Works in Franklin County with James Callaway) so of course that is how young Callaway was selected as Jubal's aide. Mary's cousin, Maj. Samuel Saunders Hale, was Jubal's Adjutant General (Sam was killed leading a charge at Spottsylvania Courthouse). Another cousin, GWB Hale was General JEB Stuarts' Adjutant General - Stuart lived over in the next county. So everyone who was anyone were related or knew each other in Franklin County up through the Civil War.

So in researching my family history, and doing a Google search on "Capt Bridges Confederate", I ran across your Callaway Family Journal. I thought the journal might shed some light on the life and times of Ned Bridges and his Confederates.

Thanks Again,
Coy

U. S. Peter Callaway Line

I would like to thank Sue Thomson for sending us some information on her Callaway ancestors. She has included some new information and also corrected some errors we had in our file. These additions and corrections will be added to the CFA master Peter Callaway file at RootsWeb. The line of descent is as follows:
Peter Callaway
William Callaway & Given Caldwell
William Callaway, Jr.
Zachariah Callaway
James Callaway & Lucy Williams
Vincent Callaway
James Preston Callaway
Charles Clifford Callaway

Hi,
I was just looking over your CALLAWAY database, and I think I can share additional info with you. My great-aunt was Lucy Elizabeth Callaway who married Luther Moles of Beckley, Raleigh County, WV. She was the d/o Charles Clifford Callaway and Ida Lou Witt. Lucy Callaway Moles died in Dec 1999.

Charles Clifford Callaway (216), b. 6 Jul 1868 at Monroe County, VA, d. 6 Jan 1939 at Raleigh County, WV
+Ida Lou Witt (217), b. 3 Jul 1876 at Giles County, WV, m. circa 1898, d. Aug 1957 at Raleigh County, WV
|-- Otis L. Callaway (1609), b. 13 Dec 1899 at Raleigh County, WV, d. Jun 1970 at Raleigh County, WV
|-- Howard H. Callaway (1610), b. 5 Nov 1901 at Raleigh County, WV, d. Jun 1977 at Raleigh County, WV
|-- Basil C. "Cotton" Callaway (1613), b. circa 1904 at Raleigh County, WV
|   +Birtie (Unk) Callaway (1625), b. circa 1902 at WV, m. circa 1925
|   \-- Betty Joe Callaway (1626), b. circa 1926 at Raleigh, WV
|-- Beulah Callaway (1614), b. circa 1905 at Raleigh County, WV
|-- Thelma Callaway (1603), b. 3 Mar 1907 at Raleigh, WV, d. 1935 at Raleigh, WV
|   +Howard Elam (1604), b. 23 Sep 1908 at TN, m. 1929 at Raleigh County, WV, d. May 1961 at PA
|   |-- Joseph "Joe" Elam (2083), b. after 1930 at Fayette County, WV
|   \-- William G. 'Bill' Elam (2079), b. 26 May 1934 at Fayette County, WV, d. 8 Jun 2004 at Raleigh County, WV

|-- Gladys Marie Callaway (1612), b. 31 Jan 1912 at Raleigh County, WV, d. 5 Oct 1990 at Raleigh County, WV
\-- Charles Clifford Callaway Jr. (1611), b. 5 Apr 1914 at Raleigh County, WV, d. May 1977 at Raleigh County, WV

Also, I believe that the father of Charles Clifford Callaway was James Preston Callaway who married Elizabeth Harless on 16 Nov 1862 in Monroe County, VA [later WV]. Elizabeth Harless was the d/o Anthony Harless and Judy Scott.

I hope this is helpful to you.

We have a small mystery in the Peter Callaway line. I would like to thank Peggy Carey for sharing this information with us. There are two conflicting marriage records as follows:

Washington Callaway married Rebecca J. Hootman April 2, 1868 in Peoria Co., IL
Washington Callaway married Rebecca Jane Whitman April 1, 1868 in Tazewell Co., IL

Can anyone sort out this mystery? Washington Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
Peter Callaway
William Callaway and Given Caldwell
William Callaway, Jr.
Isaiah Callaway
Elijah Washington Callaway
Josiah Isaiah Callaway
Washington Elijah Callaway

Other C/K Lines

I would like to thank Lori Callaway for sharing some links to English records with us. They cover very early years and many spellings of the Callaway name.

Donna,
Again, while working on my British Shaw line, I came across some really old Callaway records from Somerset & Dorset counties in England. There were various spellings - Calowe, Kelloway, Callaway, etc, some of the families seemed to have been registered in the parish records with more than one spelling for their surname. Some of them are from the 1500's through the late 1700's.

Scott & I have subscribed to the CFA newsletter for so many years now & gotten a great deal of information from the CFA - I rather consider it a way to give something back.

Besides, someone else may as well benefit from my hours of research since I did not! Otherwise, it will have been 4 hours of lost time with nothing gained, this way, there is a potential for someone to gain.

Sincerely,
Lori Callaway
(wife of Scott)

I would like to thank Lesley Haigh for sending us information on the Callaway family line that immigrated from Cornwall to Pennsylvania. It appeared in the October 2007 newsletter. She has added four more early generations taking this line back to John Callaway, born Aug 2, 1683 in Perranzabuloe Parish, Cornwall. The October newsletter has been updated with this new information.

Dear Donna,

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.

James' Parents

Joseph Callaway (died 24 Nov 1828, 53) and Martha Gill who were married 01 Feb 1801 St Agnes

Children:

James 23 Jun 1805 m. Jane Martin

Joseph 04 Jun 1807 m. Susanna Goyne 27 Sep 1834 (3 children: John 1835, Susan Ann 1837, Johanna 1840)

Timothy 13 Mar 1821 d. 23 Jun 1821 buried Perranzabuloe (next parish, burials there)

Anne 10 Nov 1823 m. William Commons?

Joseph Callaway b.~1775 appears to be the illegitimate son of Joanna Callaway and Christopher Mitchel b.08 Dec 1776 in nearby St Allen

Joanna's Parents were:

James Calaway (died 26 Jun 1800 PZ) and Hester Dunn (d. 24 Jun 1772 PZ) Married 28 Oct 1740 St Allen

Children:

John 30 Aug 1741 St Allen

Timothy 21 Sep 1746 Perranzabuloe d.27 Nov 1777 PZ

William 16 Feb 1748/9 PZ m. Catherine Martin 30 Dec 1779 Gwennap moved to St Stithians (3 children)

Anne 14 Feb 1753 PZ m. Edward Martin 04 Aug 1772 PZ

Joseph 19 May 1755 PZ

Joannah 07 Nov 1757 PZ

James' parents were:

John Calaway and Elizabeth Hosken m. 01 Oct 1710 Perranzabuloe

Children:

Elizabeth 25 Nov 1711 d. 06 Dec 1726

James 13 Jun 1719 m. Hester Dunn

Cheson 08 Nov 1721 m. John Penprase 26 Feb 1744/5

John 16 Dec 1723

Edward 07 Feb 1726

Ann 15 Aug 1730

And finally John born 02 Aug 1683 Perranzabuloe parents illegible.

So 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

I would also like to thank Sally Werst McKeen for sending us additional information on this John Callaway line from Perranzabuloe Parish, Cornwall, England who immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1857.

Hi Donna,
Under descendents of James Callaway (#6), here's what my Mom, Doris Callaway Werst, wrote: "John Martin Callaway,( b. March 1, 1867 in Mahony City, PA; d. May 17, 1942 in Hazleton, PA; son of Joseph Callaway and Emma Jane Harry, married Lizzie Dell Beishline, daughter of Reuben Sterling Beishline and Fietta S. Fagen on July 19, 1893 in Hazleton, Luzerne County, PA. This marriage brought five children: Marion Elizabeth (b. Aug. 30, 1894; m. Herbert Clarence "Bo" Koehler Sept. 1, 1920; d. Sept. 27, 1986) in La Jolla, CA; Paul Franklin (b. Dec. 23, 1895; m. Ruth Weyhenmeyer in Nov. 1923; d. April 27, 1965 in Franklin, PA); Fietta Adrine (b. Nov. 18, 1896; d.

July 2, 2003 in Fort Worth, TX."

Many thanks for all your good work.

Johnson's Island Civil War Union Prison

On April 10, 1862 the first prisoners arrived, 200 Confederates transferred by special train from Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. Over the next three years more than 15,000 men were to be incarcerated on Johnson's Island, the maximum number at any one time reaching 2,800 in early 1865. The vast majority of the prisoners were Confederate officers, but a number of Confederate enlisted men, political prisoners, spies, and northern deserters were also sent to Johnson's Island. More than 200 would never leave.
~ from The US National Park Service web site.

In researching the Civil War Union Prison at Johnson's Island, Sandusky Bay on Lake Eric, I discovered that James Elijah Callaway fought for the Confederacy at the Island No. 10 battle. The Union was victorious. He was captured and held prisoner at Johnson's Island for about 4 months in 1862.

~ picture left "Union Bombardment & Capture of Island No. 10, April 7, 1862", from Wikipedia web site.

It is believed, but so far unproven, that his line descends from Caleb Calloway and Elizabeth Laurence, who both came from Virginia and were married in 1670 in Berkley Pct, Perquimans Co., NC. Can anyone add any information to this "Mystery Callaway" family line?

Some of them were rounded up and returned to the regiment after it was released on parole. The enlisted men from the 46th were sent to prison at Camp Douglas, Illinois, the officers to Johnson's Island. The regiment was released on parole at Vicksburg, Mississippi on September 23, 1862. It moved to Jackson, Mississippi, where it was reorganized.

This is a snippet of my dad's (Merle Wesley Callaway 1916-1998; son of David William Callaway 1890-1974) writing. Just thought it might be of interest to you.

Carolyn Callaway Noland

cnoland at rvdiscovery.com

My grandfather (James Robert) Callaway came from Paris, Henry County, TN. His father (James Elijah) was a Confederate soldier. He was a small man in size. He went through three wars (I can’t verify this unless it was the Indian Wars) and never got a scratch. My grandfather told me that during the Civil war his father had no shoes and had to cut the army worms from his feet. After Sherman’s march to the sea, there was nothing left so they moved to Alma, NE, and then to Butler, MO. My father (David William Callaway) also went to Butler, MO. My great-grandmother’s (Sarah Littleton Callaway) wedding present was a slave. They were Southern Baptists so I’m sure their baptisms are on record. My great-grandfather (James Elijah Callaway) is buried in Butler, MO. I remember my great-grandmother (Sarah Littleton Callaway) very well. Everyone called her ‘Granny’. From Butler, MO, they moved to Alva, OK. All the Callaway’s (men, women, children, in-laws) were like gypsies, traveling in covered wagons and trading horses and mules. Luther Richards went with them. This was Bill Richards’ father. Of a night they would pull their wagons in a circle, build a campfire and cook their meals. My father (David William Callaway) said that when they would go through a town, the kids would really scatter. Ha! They must have been a tough-looking bunch! The Callaway’s were horse people and that is how they made their living. They had their own stallions, mares, jacks and jennys. As I remember, all the Callaway’s and some of the in-laws had heavy mustaches.

From Oklahoma they went up to Callaway, NE, and Chase County, NE, then came back to Alma, NE, where my grandfather bought a farm. My father (David William Callaway) was born in a sod house about 2 miles North and East of the Alma Cemetery. There is a picture in the album of my father (David William Callaway) with his horse and buggy. The horse was a Tennessee Walker. The buggy is the same as I grew up in. My mother had a fur muff that she would use to keep her hands warm and a lap robe to keep warm with. There was a small trunk at the back of the buggy seat where they carried cream and eggs to town and in return a few groceries. Crackers came in a barrel. Some of the cookies that we used to have are no longer available. Marshmallow, wafers, some chocolate, horehound candy, clove and black jack. This (the picture in the album) is where he lived when he was courting my mother (Pearl Stevenson Callaway). One time he had the horse tied up in Alma at the hitching rack. It got loose and the horse went home and the buggy never got a scratch. Later my grandfather (James Robert Callaway) bought the farm just North of the Whitehead farm on the East side of the highway (between Orleans and Alma). Your mother and I lived there when we were first married.

My grandmother Callaway (Ida May Day Callaway) had the most beautiful white complexion. She got the flu during World War I. It settled in her leg and the doctor amputated the entire limb. My grandfather buried it in the orchard. He had a beautiful cherry orchard. I liked to go and help pick cherries. He died from heart trouble. He was a true Southerner but thought it was correct that the Union was not divided. He said that when slavery ended, most of the Negroes wanted to stay on, as they had no place to go and that most were well treated. He used to have green tobacco leaves sent up from Tennessee. Then he would make a twist out of it and hang it on a nail to cure. It looked like this (picture of a ring with a tail). Then he would cut off a piece with his knife and chew it. It was strong stuff. My great-grandmother (Sarah Littleton Callaway) used snuff, which she carried in a box on a chain around her neck, and one of my grandfather’s sisters smoked a pipe and one chewed tobacco. The other sister I don’t know if she used tobacco. The Callaway’s were Baptists.

Grandpa Callaway (James Robert) bought me my first knife and also my first train ride to Lincoln, NE, where my Aunt Gladys lived. She was secretary to the Governor of Nebraska. Later, she moved to Washington, DC, and then to Los Angeles. She was very beautiful and was Rose Bowl Queen one year. (Carolyn's note: This cannot be verified). She was with the Treasury Dept.

My father (David William Callaway) and I would make two trips in one day with two wagons, hauling wheat and corn to the elevator. A 26” deep wagon box held 60 bushels of wheat. We always had good wagons, horses and harness. Always matched teams. My father had mules, too, but eventually sold them. My father had a special barn and pen for the jacks. People would bring their mares for service. The jack was kept primarily to tease the mares; then he would be put away and the stallion was brought out. The reason for this is the mare’s might kick the stallion in the testicles and ruin him. I was never allowed in the pen with the jack as my father and grandfather always considered them dangerous for children. The U.S. Government had what they called a re-mount service where they would place good stallions on farms to upgrade the quality of horses for the cavalry and dray horses. They used horses for cavalry and for draft purposes up until World War II.

Subject – Col. James Callaway

Hi, I saw your inquiry about my ancestor, Col. James Callaway, and have wondered the same thing. I've thought about being ambitious enough to undertake a comprehensive article on him, especially since I often find different accounts of him in books on Bedford, Campbell, and Franklin Counties. I used him at my Patriot Ancestor in joining the SAR in 1996. I don't think there has ever been a single article devoted to his life in the "Callaway Journals," whereas some of the earlier journals had very detailed biographies of his uncle, Col. Richard Callaway. The best article I have found on Col. James Callaway I also quoted in my website, and is from "Dictionary of Virginia Biography." Here is a link to the page in my website's ancestor report where Col. Callaway is listed,

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/o/d/Bryan-S-Godfrey/GENE26-0111.html

He is ancestor #1018, found by scrolling down the page. I'm glad to see or help anyone collaborate on an article about James. Needless to say, we missed the deadline to do so before last year's CFA reunion was held in Roanoke, VA and hosted by a descendant who has restored an early Callaway home nearby in Franklin County.
Sincerely,
Bryan

Sallie -

I read your entry this morning in the Callaway Family Association newsletter. I am the great grandson of Jacob A. Miller ( b. 1807) through my grandfather Norris Miller (b. 1858). I have been researching my family for the last year and this is new information for me.

I have been in contact with other long lost cousins who have been able to provide quite a bit of information. As an example, I was able to get a copy of a photo of Amanda Jane Davis Miller.

To Whom It May Concern,
I found your WorldConnect tree and was hoping that you may be able to send me what details you have on the descendants of Charles John Callaway and Grace Agnes Welford please.

Grace was the daughter of George Welford and my relation Fanny Emmeline Mary Jane Fletcher (a mouthful I know), born in Paddington, Middlesex, England in 1895.

I am currently compiling a Fletcher family tree and would like to make contact with the Welford family that went to the Isle of Wight which includes the Callaway family.

Any assistance you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely,

Subject - Samuel Davis Callaway
Submitter - Roger Robison

Donna,
Although I am not directly connected to the Callaway line, I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed receiving the Callaway newsletter. It is perhaps the most professional and informative genealogical newsletter that I have ever seen. I wish that other surnames which I have researched were so well represented on the internet.

I am still hoping to learn more about the one Callaway name that does figure in my research of the CAVE surname. A number of years ago, the great-grandson of Samuel Davis Callaway and Anna Cave -- Randall C. Hoover -- sent me a copy of a small newspaper notice regarding S. D. Callaway's imprisonment at Johnson's Island Civil War prison. I also corresponded with a Wills LaCrosse who made a tantalizing offer about letters exchanged between Callaway and his friend Benjamin Stiles Duncan. Unfortunately, he never followed through, so I wrote to his son. I am enclosing a copy of an e-mail from the son, but he never contacted me again either. I thought that you might be able to use the information in some way.

To: "Roger L. Robison" <robison at texas.net>

Dear Roger,
Sorry, I am so late in responding. I was busy with school work. Wills La Crosse is my father and yes there are a few letters. They are quite easy to read and require little translation. The only confusing part we found was the reference to B.S. Duncan as uncle to S.D. Callaway, we have since found out that this reference was made so that the letters would get out of the prison.

My great aunt has them and I will contact her, she may have scanned them already so I will try to get you a copy of them. All that I have with me now is a "ambrotype" of B.S. Duncan with his wife Priscilla Miller and my great great grandmother. The image was taken around 1862 so it may be of some interest. I will take a photograph of it and send you a copy when I get a chance.

As for a web page, we have never thought about it but if we did we might have to compile the information and clean up the loose ends. We have many letters, ledgers, deeds, etc. and have only recently started organizing them.

A good number of his mother's papers and correspondence were mixed in with his. She ran the inn that they owned on Duncan's Island which later B.S. Duncan assumed ownership of. Our knowledge of B.S. Duncan for the most part is limited to these resources and it would be interesting to learn about his business dealings and friendships. What happened to S.D. Callaway after he got out? Did he go back to Arkadelphia, and by chance do you have any information on "Duncan's Addition" (we have been told that any area, as of 1930, was still being referred to by this name) in Arkadelphia and what was actually developed there and if anything is left? Just a few questions to throw out on the table.

Talk to you soon,
Thanks,
Jonathan LaCrosse

email - happiejack at yahoo.com

Hello, My name is Jack Thomas Callaway born in Greensboro, Ga. Following is a brief of my lineage:

Lemuel Callaway, born in Troup County, Ga. in 1801.

Lemuel L. or Lawrence Lemuel Callaway, born in Sumter County, Ala. on Jan. 17, 1840.

Jack Mullins Callaway, born in Greene County, Ga. on June 27, 1871.

Reuben Pierce Callaway, born in Greene County, Ga. on Feb. 9, 1917.

Jack Thomas Callaway, born in Greensboro, Ga.

For many years I have recorded my great grandfather as Lemuel L. Callaway. All of the census records have him listed as Lemuel L. Callaway. I now find in the CFA file on Rootsweb that he is listed as Lawrence Lemuel Callaway. I wonder where they got that from? PLEASE, does anyone have proof of my great grandfather's name given him at his birth?

Query # 452
Subject - Rodde' Christi Viriat Labbe'
Submitter - Frances Baggett
email - fbjunction-history at yahoo.com

Hello,

I am researching the history of Rodde' Christi Viriat Labbe'--a mulatto slave. She was born approx 1775 in VA her father being one Israel Christi or Christian. Rodde also went by the name of Rhoda.

I know that John Callaway had some dealings with both her and her husband, Pierre Viriat of New Bourbon and also of Fredricktown. Pierre was one of the original founders of St Michaels and part owner of Mine La Motte.

John Callaway may have also been acquainted with Rodde's second husband, Joseph Labbe, also a Frenchman.

I do have copies of documents showing that Rodde's first husband, Pierre Viriat, on his deathbed signed over some of his belongings and affairs to be handled by John Callaway--among them the children born in slave hood of Rodde.

I would be interested in any information that you might have concerning the following:

Rodde Christi Viriat Labbe: -born 1775 VA

Joseph Labbe: born around 1773 Louisiana Territory

Pierre Viriat: died 1805 birth date not known-born in France

Orange slave son of Rodde: born approx 1795 Tenn

Marie slave daughter of Rodde also known as Polly Lewis: born 1797 Tenn

Aggie slave daughter of Rodde: Birth date place not known died 1817 Ste Genevieve MO

George and Joseph Bowers/Bowen(s) sons of Aggie: born approx 1813 and 1816 MO

Below I have pasted a copy of John Callaway bio that I found on your site so that you may know which John Callaway that I am researching. (Bio follows my letter.)

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I have been researching Rodde' and her family for a book that I am working on.

Thank you for your time and help,

Respectively,

Frances Baggett

Genevieve District of Spanish Louisiana, on 28 October 1799, John Callaway applied for a land grant of 700 arpens near the mouth of the Little St. Francois River. This grant was adjacent to one applied for by a close relative, Jonathan Owsley, in the same year. The land grants were located near present Fredericktown, now in Madison County, MO.

On 19 August 1800, John Callaway, a native of Maryland, was married to Amy Stamps, a native of Kentucky, at the home of Jonathan Owsley, the uncle of the groom, in New Bourbon. Their marriage certificate identifies the parents of the groom as Thomas Callaway and Charity Cherry, and the parents of the bride as John Stamps and Anne Weeden (or Wuden).

John Callaway became a large landowner in Ste. Genevieve County through inheritance and purchase. He was one of the first settlers to use his land for farming purposes: prior to 1800, the main activity in the area had been mining.

During the War of 1812, John Callaway commanded the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, County of Ste. Genevieve, where he held the rank of Major. He served as Sheriff of Madison County in 1820. Land records show, however, that John and Amy were selling various parcels of land at about this time. These sales were preparatory to an anticipated move that occurred between August, 1821, and November, 1822. Their move to the area which is now Clark County, was evidently completed before late 1822.

Callaway built a mill on Caney Creek and represented Clark County in the Arkansas Territorial Legislature in 1825. The Callaway Hotel, the first hotel in Blakelytown (later Arkadelphia), was built in 1825 and evidently remained in the possession of the family for a number of years. The property was purchased by Solomon Spence in 1845, and his hotel burned in 1878.

John Callaway died intestate, probably in December of 1834. Amy Callaway died in Clark County after the 1840 census but before 1850. John and Amy Callaway were the parents of twelve children: Mary, who married William Arnett; Jonathan O.; Elizabeth, who married John Forbes; Peter S.; John S. T.; Nancy, who married a Hemphill (Nancy had at least four children born between 1835 and 1843 - John, James, Thomas and Samuel E. Hemphill); Amy, who married A. G. Johnson; Thomas M.; Nathaniel C.; Charity, who married Phillip R. Johnston, and married second a Phillips (Charity had at least three children, Mary E. Johnston, Margaret J. Johnston, John Phillips); William A.; and James Mattison.

Dear Donna,

I am searching for information on Felix Sadler who was the Manager for Alfred Callaway's farm on the 1850 Sumter Co., AL Census. He is my Great Uncle. Felix died in Sumter County around 1852.

Do you have any information regarding when he started living with the family and whether or not the Sadlers could be related to the Callaways?

My Great Grandfather, Felix's brother, was John Armstrong Sadler. We have been searching over 25 years for information on them. I am hoping there may be something in the Callaway history that would help us find them, prior to 1850.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Glenda Sadler Davis

Query # 454
Subject - Who is this Peter Callaway?
Submitter - Maryellen Horrigan
email - mellenpatch5 at cinci.rr.com

In 1799 Greene Co GA, a Peter Callaway is witness to a land purchase by a Littleton Ragans/Riggins. Who is this Peter? I know Clement Callaway's son, Joshua ( who m. Laura Grace) was in the area. There is a connection here that I am missing. It haunts me. In c. 1822, Joshua Callaway (Clement, Ebeneezer, Benjamin,Peter, Peter )married Laura Grace. William Riggins married Martha Grace, Laura’s Aunt. William Riggins’s father was Littleton Riggins who’s land transaction was witnessed by a Peter Callaway in 1799 Greene Co GA. Everybody, including the Joshua mentioned married a Betts. Everybody seems to come from MD/DE. Then we have the three children of Jonathan Ragan…Nancy, Rebecca, Winifred, who marry Isaac, Job, and Joseph Callaway ( not in order) and I want to use the Callaway men as a reason to steal Jonathan for my own. ( every Ragan, Regen, Riggin, etc name in genealogy wants to steal this guy.) The best I can do is say these Callaway men are distant cousins. Were they near each other geographically in DELMARVA? Any proof they came to GA together? Maryellen

Editor's Note - Joshua Callaway had a middle initial of P. Perhaps it stood for Peter. Also, Isaac, Job and Joseph Callaway were brothers, sons of Job Callaway, Sr.

email - gmabonnie28 at yahoo.com

I am researching Sarah Calloway's son John Barnes, b. est 1806 in St. Charles, MO. Her spouse and John Barnes father, was James Barnes, Jr. I hope they are referenced.

Thank you for the reference for Sarah Callaway and James Barnes Jr, in "Missouri Pioneer Families History 1876" by William S. Bryan and Robert Rose. I will add the info to my sources. Sarah Callaway's father was Flanders Callaway. My query concerns one of ,Sarah Callaway and James Barnes Jr's., 16 children who lived to be an adult..

John Barnes their second son was born est 1806-1811 in St. Charles, or Charlette, Missouri. Does anyone know if their son John Barnes was the John Barnes with spouse Martha B. Rogers? Where were they married? Did they live in Platte County, Missouri until John Barnes died in 1845- or near January1846? Does anyone know how he died? Any help would be greatly appreciated. John Barnes was my gggrandfather.

Thanks Bonnie

Query # 456
Subject - Thomas Callaway, prisoner of war in Chicago during Civil War
Submitter - Kendra Short
email - travelingirl56 at hotmail.com

How would I find information re: Thomas Callaway, b. 1846 either in NC or SC, served in Civil War either with the 22nd or 29th regiment NC. Supposedly he was a prisoner in the Chicago prison for the final two years of the war. Family history tells that my G-G-Grandfather Thomas Callaway was there for the final two years of the civil war. Family History states his father as being Erastus and mother Nancy Anderson. May have a brother named James and a sister named Charlotte. Thomas also participated in the Black Hawk War in Fountain Green, UT and received a pension.

I was amazed that he survived his imprisonment, His birth date of 1845-46 would make him 15 in 1861. The family history - told through a journal - is that he was injured in the foot and then imprisoned, then offered no prosecution in exchange for assisting wagon trains west. And yet we really don't know when he arrived in the west. It is said that he didn't discuss his past - few did, understandably. It would also be understandable for such a young man to want to escape the horror of that time. His reputation (through his granddaughter's journal) was one of kindness and generosity. He was known to always be of help to his neighbors and shared with all, so no one went without. The granddaughter (who lived to be 98, just recently passed in May) stated that her grandfather felt the disagreement of the south could have been handled in a different way and regretted the destruction and loss of lives as a result. So I could picture him leaving if he had the opportunity.

Thank you for any info you may have.

Editor's Note - Here is what we have gathered about this family so far. It seems very likely that James Callaway is the son of William Callaway from the following line of descent:
Joseph Callaway
Thomas Callaway
William Callaway
James Callaway
Erastus Callaway

Can anyone confirm or add to this family line?
