Hi Cales Cousins,
Oliver Perry Cales is my first 100% identifible ancestor. His death
certificate lists Isaac Cales and Rachel Taylor as parents. I have bits
and pieces of information about Isaac's life but nothing concrete to
identify him with parents.
Isaac was born c 1805 in Virginia (probably now West Virginia). In the
1840's, Isaac bought a 40 acre farm in Symmes Township,Lawrence County.
Isaac died 4 August 1874 in Lawrence County. Wife Rachel is listed on
the 1880 Lawrence County Census and then I lose all track of her.
The following are children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of
Isaac and Rachel Taylor Cales. If any of my Cales cousins recognize any
of these people, please email me. Sorry this is so long. Cathy
