Thank you Le Bateman Hello, I am researching the Callaways of West Virginia. As far as I have gone back in Perry Lee Callaway, and then his mother Louizer ? Callaway. These people are hard to find and the remaining hill folks seem reluctant to talk. Do you have anything tying these people to yours? If so I would much appreciate you letting me know. I'm looking for a new lead. Thank You, Cynde Callaway Marshall Jackson, Ala. 36545 [email protected] -- MZ

CALLAWAY Seekers: Sherrill U. Williams is temporarily off line and asked me to post the correct Callaway Family Association address. It is listed below. http://www.metronet.com/~cfa/callaway/home.htm Joe P. Alley [email protected]

FOR: Sherrill U. Williams Sherrill: I am having trouble with the URL for the CALLAWAY Home Page. I have the one which you listed in your post of October 22, 1998 it is below. I put http://in front and still no go. www.metronet.com~cfa/callaway/home.htm I have an older one I suppose and it is a bad one too. IT IS: http://www.lgc.peachnet.edu/callaway/cfa1.htm Can you set me straight on this business. Thanks in advance. Joe P. Alley [email protected]

Greetings all, After many hours of work (or is it pleasure) I have created my own genealogy home page. I was never really happy with the facilities that Family Tree Maker gave me and thus struck out on my own. It is split up into different surnames. The surnames of interest to this area include: CALLOWAY, KILBY, ROTEN, HOLBROOK, and all the associated surnames that married into these families. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts. I am also looking for any other photos or documents that you might have out there that I can add. The address is: "http://www.zianet.com/schulthe/home.htm" As always, let me know any corrections, additions, deletions, or any other comments you may have. Thanks, Chris.....

To Brenda Wieland: Brenda, you asked about William Roger Callaway, except that he is mentioned as a brother of Samuel Roger on a CFA family chart, submitted by a member about 1976. This is the chart of Trowbridge Callaway. I believe there was an article on Samuel Roger Callaway in an old Callaway Journal. Sherrill Distribution: To: <Name Not Given> [email protected]

FOR: Sherrill U. Williams Sherrill: Thanks so much for the census information concerning my grandmother Minnie Lee CALLAWAY. This information most certainly is helpful. Thanks again. Joe P. Alley

For Joe P. Alley: Joe, Your grandmother was the daughter of Jesse & Georgia A. Callaway. Jesse was a son of Josiah D. Calaway, son of Jonathan Callaway (b. DE). Jonathan was a son of William Callaway, Jr. who was son of William Callaway, Sr, who was son of the immigrant to Somerset Co, MD, Peter Callaway, Sr. I find the following data in census records: Monroe Co, GA, 1850 census: Josiah Calaway 56 M GA Overseer Permelia 50 F GA William 22 M GA Mechanic John 20 M GA Farmer Henry 17 M GA Sarah 15 F GA Jesse 13 M GA Vanburen 11 M GA Martha 7 F GA Bibb Co, GA 1860 Census: p. 607 Josiah D.

Chris, Everyone is entitled to his own beliefs on any matter. It matters not to me that you wish to head your Callaway chart with Two Josephs. You may be correct. I just say, there is no proof. There is no proof, no doubt, because of loss of records in those two early counties, Essex and Caroline Co's, VA. The serious loss of Caroline County records is very damaging to our Callaway research. The truth may never be known. Everyone must make his own choice as to whether there were two Josephs at the top of this Callaway lineage. We made our decision, after a long period of research, and evaluation of it, that the evidence was lacking to support the "Two Josephs" idea. We certainly felt that Elijah Callaway's letter to Draper was not the credible "proof" we needed. Anything is possible. It could be that there were "Two Josephs," and Elijah had heard this story. But, perhaps the "first" Joseph never came to America. It is even possible that there were "Three Josephs." But this research is not complete, and we may never be able to find proof of our English heritage. We do continue to try. So, gang, each of you be your own judge of how many JOSEPHS to put at the top of your charts. It is a personal matter. I am currently more interested in where the name "Catherine" came from as a wife of one of the Josephs. That is of importance. Is there a record, or source, for that information? If so, we should follow up on it. Please share this with us. To all of you who have asked questions, I am working on your answers. Please be patient. Sometimes I do have another "small life" that intrudes upon my "Callaway play." You "ladies" will understand; some things we can just never retire from. Also, there was a time when I carried all this information in my head. However, due to "information overload," or maybe even "dying brain cells," some of it has slipped away. But, if we have the information in the files, I will find it and eventually pass it on to you. "Nuff said" on Two Josephs......OK? Sherrill Distribution: To: <Name Not Given> [email protected]

My grandmother, Minnie Lee CALLAWAY, was born September 1870 and died 8 August 1931. Her fathers name was Jessie CALLAWAY. She married Jefferson Davis Alley around 1889. Together they had 8 children. She lived and died in Macon, GA. Anyone with any information on this lady please contact me. Joe P. ALLEY

Are there any descendants of Samuel Calloway lurking out there? Here is what I know. Samuel is the son of Francis Calloway and Frances Unknown (thats right a two Frankey's). He was born abt 1755 in Caroline Co, VA and died 30 Jan 1836 in Surry Co, NC. He married a Mary Unknown. They had 6 known children: ***Feree (1782-1865) md Hannah Walker (md 1803 in Surry Co, NC) James (1784-1866) md Susan Cockerham Nancy (1786-1845) md Joel Lackey Samuel (1791-????) md Elizabeth Rachel Unknown Isaac (1798-????) md Catherine Foote John (1800-????) I don't know if he married or what *** Note: This is my line. Anybody who has anything on the above people, I would love to hear from you. Chris.....

Hi Sherrill, Without wanting to start a melee or major disagreement, I would like to just say that I stand by what I said in my earlier post about two Josephs. That was that until I have proof against I have no reason not to believe. Thats not to say that you are right/wrong, but by the same token thats not to say that I am right/wrong. As a matter of fact, the information you provide below tends to support the theory of two Josephs. So, I see nothing wrong with going with that supposition (you notice I did not say fact), until it can be proven different. My experience with fellow genealogist is that we all seem to fall into two seperate catagories when it comes to sourcing, documentation, and the ever search for "proof". The first category is what you fall into. That is those that must have documented, beyond a shadow of a doubt proof. I fall into the second category. That is those that believe what they are told until they can prove or disprove. There is nothing wrong with either group. IN FACT, we probably need one another. Chris Schultheis.....

To Susan Whipple: Susan, The 1800 census, Stokes Co, NC, shows the following: John Callaway 1 male under 10 1 male 26-45 3 females under 10 1 female 26-45 John Callaway 1 male under 10 1 male 26-45 1 female under 10 2 females 10-16 1 female 26-45 I have wondered if that is a duplicate entry. No Callaways were enumerated in Stokes County in 1790 or 1810. Kent Co, Delaware Deed Book I (eye)-2nd, p. 38. 15 Dec 1804. John Callaway, Stoaks Co, NC to William Callaway; land surveyed to Abraham Underwood 4 March 1776, by virtue of a warrant dated 20 July 1737. Abraham sold the land to William Pickeral. On 28 May 1785 William Pickeral sold it to James Anderson (now deceased). Anderson left the land to be sold by his executrix, Anna Anderson...... beginning at a stake in the peach orchard adj. Abraham Underwood, Joshua Underwood and the tenure of Waitman Booth...John Mastin. On above date John Callaway appeared before Richard Cooper, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court, etc....... Deed Book D the 2nd, p. 43. 29 Nov 1792. John Callaway from Anne Anderson, James Anderson and Daniel Anderson, Exec'rs of James Anderson; all that tract of land which James Anderson the testator purchased of a certain William Pickeral; mentions a corner division between Abraham and Joshua Underwood.... Waitman Booth...lands of John Mastin. 167 acres. Hold on! I am looking for the Stokes Co, NC land records of John Callaway. I recall that he had land on Town Creek, Stokes County. I have so many files to look in. The 1850 census, Wayne Co, IN provides the following information: Milton Washington Township: # 290 James Swafford 57 M Tailor NC Harriet " 42 F OH Margaret Calliaway 25 F DE #291 John Callaway 24 M School teacher IN Hanah " 22 F IN infant " 1/12 F IN #296 James Callaway 51 M Huxter NC Matilda " 46 F TN George W.
