My wife's ancestor is Rosa Callan who married William Johnston in Rochester, New York
1850. Rosa was six months pregnant at the time; we guess they crossed from Canada to New
York to marry. William and Rosa later moved to Illinois.
Her parents are Lawrence Callan and Julia O'Brien Callan who died after 1870 where
they are last found on census in Tuscola Co. Michigan living with family of Christopher
Callan, who is probably Rosa's brother; a Christopher Callan was witness to Rosa's
marriage.
Some of Christopher Callan's descendants went to Missouri; found in early 20th century
census records in St. Louis & Webster Grove.
Looking for earlier and additional information on this family. I believe they originally
came to Canada, then US. Would love to find immigration records; no luck so far.
