Hi all,
Does anyone have a Callan or Callen from Co. Donegal, Ireland? Am tracing
two lines:
John Callan, tenant farmer from Burnside/Cottown area (near Raphoe) married
Isabella Lyttle. Known issue: John bc1818, married Mary Anne Callen in
1847; and David bc1826, married Rebecca Knox in 1853. Both these lines came
to Aust in 1853. When John died in Aus in 1902 his obit stated that he had
a brother in USA who was a Presbyterian minister. Who was that brother? My
guess is he was a James Callan.
William Callen, farmer of Clashygowan (near St. Johnstone) married Jane
Barr. Known issue: John bc1812; Jane m. Matthew McFawn; Sarah bc1827, m.
Andrew Porter; Mary Anne bc1828 m. John Callan (above); & William, m. Sarah
Anne Snodgrass. All except William came to Aust at various times pre 1900.
Some of Williams family went to Scotland & Canada and some stayed in
Ireland.
Is anyone connected to these lines, or have any info on them?
Any help appreciated.
Regards, Margaret in Australia.
