Dear Subscribers, It seems that some subscriber was inquiring about the surname Callis. This from Rosalie Edith Davis, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA TITHABLES AND CENSUS, 1743-1785 [Manchester, MO: Published by author, 1988], p. 90 [Louisa Co.] OB 1782-83 [order book] (p. 111) Sheriff to credit Wm. Callis with his personal tax it appearing to the court that he is an officer with Continental Line. Comment: If the subscriber can got a copy of the original court order (from film, of course), a lineage society would probably accept this court order as proof of service of Wm. Callis during the Revolutionay War. Did this person apply for a pension ca. 1832 or earlier? E.W.Wallace
