Hello all,
I've been researching the line of my great-great grandfather Samuel Call.
I have received his death certificate and obituary from Urbana, Champaign
County, Illinois. It does not list the names of his parents, so I have hit
a brick wall. The only clue I have on his parents is the 1880 Census lists
them as being born in North Carolina.
Samuel CALL was born on January 9, 1811 in Green County, Kentucky (but I
didn't find any CALL families on the 1810 Census for Green Co., KY). He
married Rebecca HINES on 14th of June 1832 (marriage location unknown).
Samuel died on May 8, 1891 in Urbana, Illinois. Rebecca HINES was born in
Ohio on March 28, 1816. She died on Aug. 29, 1910 in Urbana, Illinois.
The couple had the following children:
1. James S.: Born Apr. 25, 1833 in Indiana. Married Minerva J. LINNING
on Dec. 5, 1855 in Terre Haute, IN. He died October 27, 1925.
2. George W.: Born on April 8, 1836 near Rockville, Parke Co., IN.
Married Celina Catherine COPENHAVEN on 16 November 1861 in Urbana, IL. He
died on Oct. 14, 1917 in Urbana, IL.
3. Mary: Born abt. 1840 in Indiana.
4. Joseph: Born abt. 1843 in Indiana.
5. Melinda: Born abt. 1845 in Indiana. Married a BENSON.
6. Thomas A.: Born March 24, 1849 in Indiana. Died on Jan. 17, 1872 in
Urbana, IL.
7. John: Born abt. 1854.
*8. Charles W.: Born August 18, 1857 in Terre Haute, Vigo Co., Indiana.
Married Sarah Ellen GATES in 1879 in Terre Haute, IN. He died on Oct. 22,
1948 in Terre Haute, IN. (my great-grandfather).
I have much more information on this CALL line that I'll gladly share. If
I've made any connections or if anyone can fill in any information I'm
missing, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Robbie (Call) Bronder
