My grandfather, Lewis Call, told my father that we are of the Cherokee Nation. But I still
don't know about the last name, whether or not it was shortend or changed. I also
don't know if we are related to any Calls in Wellsville. I knew there were some
there. My cousin, on my grandmas side, lived in wellsville and there were some Calls that
lived right beside him, but i didn't know them personally.
All I really know is this:
My great grandfather: Moses Sherman Call married Elizabeth Fletcher parents of my
grandfather, Lewis Call and he had brothers but they did not have the same father.
My grandfather Lewis Call married Naomi Mae Whitney and had my dad, Lewis George Call and
2 daughters that passed away at birth. I know my greatgrandfather had brothers but i have
no idea of their names...I am pretty sure that one of his brothers had a son and named him
Moses Call and he had several children and they live all over the place...I know of one
that lives in texas, and one in west virgina and 2 that live in ohio..I also know that
same brother of my greatgrandfather had another son and named him Frank Call, and his
children live in East Liverpool. If I am not mistaken, I am pretty sure there are few
more nephews of my greatgrandfather but I don't who they are. I am trying to find all
of this out but I am having trouble locating my cousin. He is the only person I can think
of who would know anything at all about this. I will post any information I get.
