Dear CALLAWAY/CALLOWAY Cousins,
I am happy to announce the birth of my new CALLOWAY/WILLCOCKSON website,
the "Descendants of Elijah WILLCOCKSON and Charlotte CALLOWAY." Elijah
was the grandson of John WILLCOCKSON and Sarah BOONE; Charlotte CALLOWAY
(also seen as CALLAWAY), Elijah's cousin, was their great-granddaughter
(a special website for John and Sarah will be launched and linked to
this one in the near future).
Charlotte's father Elijah CALLOWAY (also seen as CALLAWAY) served as a
member of the North Carolina Legislature for thirteen years. The book
King's Mountain and Its Heroes documents the heroic resistance of
Charlotte's mother Mary Cutbirth, then a young girl, and of the whole
Cutbirth family when British officers abusively invaded their home
during the War of the Revolution. Mary's father Benjamin Cutbirth, a
close friend and fellow long-hunter of Daniel Boone, was the first
pioneer to reach the Mississippi River from the East.
I have posted about 40 pages so far, on the first 4 generations of this
WILLCOCKSON/CALLOWAY family of ours. Included are 220 descendants in
these first 4 generations, with links to dozens more in later
generations. I input data from Spraker's Boone book, from Wulfeck's
Wilcoxson book, and from contributions by several cousins. You can find
this new homepage at:
http://www.stipak.com/willcockson/elijah/ElijahWillcockson.htm
Please note that there is an index page, a sources page, and a surname
page, all linked to the homepage. I am linking to the Boone Society,
Scroggins Papers, and other important websites. The website is not
finished; it will be ongoing and growing. I will be correcting, linking,
adding, updating it, etc.
If you are interested in the WILLCOCKSON branches of our
CALLOWAY/CALLAWAY family, then please take a look and tell me what you
think.
I hope that the Boone Society and other family researchers will link to
this new website, so that we cousins can find each other and share
information.
If you see anything incorrect or get any "Not Found" error messages,
please let me know.
Many thanks to those of you who have already been a part of this labor
of love.
Enjoy!
Cousin Alice
