I have a Marshall b. about 1818 that I have never been able to place within a family. He
is living with Betsy Callaway in the 1850 Watauga County census. Can not be her brother
as her father died prior to 1810 but he could be a nephew.
I also show a Marshall Callaway age 22 in the 1850 census for Watauga Cty but he is living
with a Hodges family.
Thus there were two of them in Watauga Cty in 1850 and one was 31-32 and that other 22.
You mentioned Thomas and Judea: Note they have a son with Marshall as a middle name and
he may have been called Marshall. He may have had a son named Marshall who was living
with the Hodges (note also that James Marshall's sister married a Hodges)

I do not have any Sanders Callaway.
Re: James of 1746. It is just that nothing is found on him until after his marriage to
Jane/Jain whoever. He always lived next door to Elijah Callaway and,.sometimes by
Richard, and Jane remained next door to Elijah long after James was gone before 1810. He
is not in any of the jury records etc as the other Callaways seemed to be. In 1787, his
father and three brothers were in the Wilkes Cty tax list but no James. He was in a
church by 1790 (Three Forks Baptist)there. In the 1790 census, he is listed in Wilkes
(now Watauga Cty) NC with two white females so may have been married with one young
daughter I do not have the name of. Thus from 1746 to 1790 (44 years), he is a lost soul.
I am wondering if he wasn't hurt in the Revolutionary War. He has been a REAL enigma
for me. I can't vouch for the accuracy of all this - please check it out. Audrey
