Caldwell, pub. 1880 THOMAS McCALL was born in Chartiers Twp., Washington Co., PA in 1807 and was a son of Alexander & Margaret (FERGUE) McCALL. Alexander's father, John McCALL and his wife Jane McCALL were born in Scotland. John served in the Rev. War. He died in 1810, nearly 100 years old and his wife died subsequently, at about the same age. Alexander was born in York Co., PA.He came with his wife and three children, Jane, Thomas and John to Wheeling creek in 1811 on the north side of Union Twp., Belmont Co. He had served as a captain and major in the PA Militia when engaged in actual service under the general government, and for this reason, "escaped" service in the War of 1812. He died in 1833, in his 65th year and his wife in 1839 about 70 years old. Their children were Jane, married to Thomas WILSON, deceased; Thomas, married to Mariam HARRAH; John, married first to Margaret TAGGART, deceased; second to Mary FULTON; Sarah, deceased, married to John TRIMBLE; and Mary, married to John VINCENT. Thomas McCALL's children are: Tabitha J., married to Wm. BELL; John T., married to Anna CHANDLER; Alexander, deceased; Chrales H., married to Louisa VANCE; Hugh F., deceased; George S., deceased; J. H.; Msargaret T.; Thomas E.; and Mariam A., deceased. I was wrong, it was Thomas' father, Alexander, who died in 1833. I guess I did not read it carefully enough. -- Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com>
