Sherrill,
Thanks for the reply. Walter Burgess(Bergeous) Callaway was born 9 August 1899 in
Indiana and died August 1965 in Ventura, California. His father is Jasper N. Callaway born
March 1870 in Indiana and his mother is Artie Mae Hosea born 26 March 1874 in Indiana as
well. They were married in Franklin, Washington County, Indiana in 1891. On the 1900
Federal Census from Franklin,Indiana Jasper Lists his father born in Indiana and his
mother born in Michigan. There is also a William M. Callaway on the census that states his
father and mother born in the same locations and I am assuming that Jasper and William are
brothers. William's wife is listed as Luella and her father, Bartholomew Fitzpatrick
is living with them at the time. Some researchers have Jasper as the son of Andrew Jackson
Callaway, but I am uncertain. Also, is there any Native American heritage that might tie
into this family branch? Jaspers wife, Artie Mae Hosea, is rumored to have been
Indian,possibly Creek. Than!
ks for your time, Catherine Cornett
