Perhaps now I'll be able to find out who his parents were. It's interesting to see that one census states Myra's father was born in IL. and another saying both parents born in IN. And, Wm. A's states in one that his mother was born in KY and another says in IN. Guess I'll check both. Lottie Agnes Roney Hattabaugh is my maternal grandmother and I've just begun the search for McCallens and Roney ancestry. From your tips I found a Hays R. age 13 son of Amos and Margaret McCallen in the 1850 census. I had already found a marriage between Amos McCallen and Margaret Haymore on 30 Oct. 1834 and a Bible record on file at the John Hay Historical Center in Salem, IN. showing the children of Amos and Margaret McCallen including Hayes Robert MCallen born 7 April, 1837. Unfortunately, Harrison Co., IN marriages shows Hays R. married to Mary Sears 18 Oct. 1860; Hays R. married Susan E! . Avery 13 Feb. 1876; Hays B. married Almira Horner 19 Sept 1850 and my Hays married to Josephine Smith 11 April 1874. Don't know yet if any of those earlier marriages may have been a first marriage and Josephine being a second, or are unrelated. I'm going on a hunt to find Hayes Robert McCallen's birth and death certificates. Thanks again for your help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
