Jim, I do believe we have a connection!
Martha Ann's grandfather was James Michael Callis; b. 9 March 1798, Lunenburg
Co, VA; d. Brunswick Co, VA; m. Mary Mathews
My ggg-grandfather was James Michael's younger brother, Thomas Callis;
(Notes below copied from data sent me by my first-cousin .)
"xv. THOMAS CALLIS, (Henry, James, John, John)b. 04 September 1800,
Lunenburg Co., VA; d. 1838, Wilson Co., TN; m. (1) JEMIMA (JAMA) HARRISON
WALPOLE, dau. of William Walpole and Lucy Johnson; m. (2) NANCY M. WOOD.
Notes for THOMAS CALLIS:
Dec 1820 - Bought 104 1/2 acres from Henry Callis estate. Dec 1822 - Sold
104 1/2 acres to William Hite. Moved to Williamson Co., TN by 1829. Will
recorded September 1, 1838.
Child of THOMAS CALLIS and JEMIMA WALPOLE is:
i. PASCHAL EMANUEL6 CALLIS, b. 24 January 1824; d. 22 May 1871, Pea
Ridge, Benton Co., AR (buried in Twelve Corners).
Do you have that published book of Callis genealogy by Helena Callis
McGinnis? She's descended from Thomas' and James Michael's other brother,
Randolph. The book was a big help to my cousin, she said!
OK - I have another question - what do you have on Capt Robert, the first
generation shown on Martha Ann's ancestors? As far as I know, my cousin
didn't get info farther back than the first John Callis listed.
Well, this is a big part of what we join these Lists for. isn't it? Good to
meet new cousins!
