Message Board Post:
Mark,
I would very much like to correspond about the family of William Callaway, Jr. and his
wife Margaret Moore (More?). I descend from their son Jonathan Callaway (c1760 -
1834/1840) who left Maryland in the latter 1780s for Henry County Virginia, then to
Guilford County North Carolina by 1790, and finally moved to Georgia about 1798. He
settled first in Hancock County, then moved about 1805 to Baldwin, then to Jones County
about 1807. He remained in Jones until 1827, when he followed his sons to Monroe County
GA, where he died between 1834 and 1840. His wife Sarah Dennis Callaway survived him until
1853/1854.
I have very little information on Jonathan's parents or siblings. All I really know is
that his brother Obediah married the sister of Jonathan's wife Sarah, another daughter
of William Dennis who died in Guilford County NC in the 1790s. Obediah died there in
Guilford County, it appears.
Do you know much about William Callaway, Jr., his wife, children, or parents? I have his
father as William Callaway, Sr., and grandfather as immigrant Peter Callaway, Sr.
Thanks,
Tim
