Trying to verify some data on Flanders Callaway, husband of Jemima Boone, and
son of James Callaway....... Need sources to find accurate information on
birth and death:
"Some Boone Descendants of the St. Charles District", Pages 16 and 135
December 9, 1752 as birth date and Febuary 22, 1829 as death date (Draper
Mss. 23 C 112)
Page 108, "Jess M. Thompson's Pike County History" has December 9, 1758,
Virginia, and died August 19, 1824. Spraker uses the same ... but we don't.
Our reasoning for using the December 9, 1752 as birth in OUR records:
"Boone Descendants" was written at a later date with more accessibility to
accurate information. Our reading about Flanders also indicates that he was
quite a bit older than Jemima who born in 1762 which would make him ten years
older. The sources in either of the above books are not really clear except
for the above death date.
Can anyone help me clear this one up?
