Don't know if you still need info but your Thomas may be my Thomas, my ggggrandfather,
thru his daughter Amy Elizabeth Jane Callaway. It looks like ages match up.
Here's what I've got from Amy's Bible:
Thomas Callaway Born: Jan 5, 1818 or 1821, son of Matthew Callaway and Polly Callaway.
Thomas first married Margaret Priscilla Elizabeth Wilson (often referred to as Priscilla)
Born: Feb 7, 1823, daughter of Amy Wilson..no father mentioned.
Their children:
S_ _ _ let _ _ _ Callaway B: Aug 31, 1842
Amy Elizabeth Jane Callaway B: Jan 5, 1845
Mary Priscilla (Canon?) Callaway B: Apr 25, 1847
Martha _ ann Thomas Callaway B: May 4, 1850
George William Claten Callaway B: Jan 3, 1853
Mary Elen Callaway B: Oct 10, 1855
Henry Washington Callaway B: Apr 28, 1858
Second Wife Jane Wilson (maybe sister to Polly? and father George Wilson?)
Their children:
Sheera (?) Catherine Callaway B: Oct 28, 1861
Margaret Priscilla Callaway B: Oct 28, 1862
These names basically match up with your except I can't find or perfectly match the
last 3 in the 1870 Census. Margaret could be my Margaret Priscilla Callaway but her age
matches Sheera Catherine Callaway better. I don't see a Thomas or a Fanny but that
may be because my GGGrandmother moved away, marrying my GGGrandfather, William Staton
Hastings, and had her own family while her father increased his second family.
Maybe thihs helps some!
