Laverne:
I don't think the connection is direct.
Thomas "Tom" Callan was born abt. 1877 and he had only one sister, Margaret
"Maggie." Maggie was "insane" and never married.
Tom married Ida Johnson in Cullman and she was born 7/20/1875 and died in 1912. Family
story is that Tom "ran away" after Ida died, leaving his children who were
"divided up" among family members to raise.
Tom apparently married someone else, whom we do not know except that she existed, and that
there were maybe 4 children. One child is supposedly named Lora Callan and she was born
1914.
There is a James Callan in the family, but much younger than the one you are looking for
... he is buried in Corner, Alabama.
If you think there is any connection, I'm happy to share what little bit I know about
Tom and his father ....
