This is what I know. William G. was born Nov. 11, 1822. I believe he was born in NY state.
He married an Anna Maria Ackerson December 2, 1848 in the Ramapo Reformed Dutch Church
which is in Mahwah, Bergen county New Jersey. Anna Maria went by the name (Maria). On the
record of marriages with the Reformed Dutch Church they have William G's last name
being Cole. William and Anna Maria had a son also nammed William, He was born Oct. 11,
1852 I believe in Ramapo Rockland County NY. I think William G. died before 1860. Anna
Maria married again to a William Warner or Wiemer not sure of the last name. She had 5
children with him nammed John, Eugene, Jane, Hannah E. and Ella. Anna Maria died April 28,
1870 in Mahwah NJ. On Anna Maria Ackerson's grave stone it states Anna Maria Ackerson
Wife of William G. Call. There son William is in the 1865 census for Bergen county NJ
living with Anna Maria's Father and Mother. William in the 1865 census has his last
name being Call. William then !
Marries an Eliza Jane Van Riper on Sept. 06, 1869 in Allendale, Bergen County, NJ. They

1880, William J. born 1882, John born 1884, and Abram born 1888. All have the last name
Call. I descend form Abram Call. Abram 1st marries an Estelle Vorhees. They have 4
children nammed Abram Jr., Hannah, Harold, and John. Then it is said that Abram Call left
his wife and joined Barnum Bailey circus and was a clown. Abram then in 1926 marries
