Hi Cousin Nikki!
Yes it looks we have one and the same Henry and Sarah (with a difference,
tho')! I have to admit, I didn't do any of this research - I'm lucky enough
to have a very industrious first cousin who gave me this file. She got a lot
of the old information from a published Callis family book, by Helena Callis
McGinnis - and did more herself. Unfortunately, the only offspring listed
for any of Henry's children are in my direct line!
I don't know how much of this is documented -- I have none myself -- so use
it as clues. We do have some differing information.....

1871, Pea Ridge, Benton Co, AR; bur. Twelve Corners Cem there
[my note: I'm open to the possibility there was an earlier link
to
my Martin line: two brothers, William and Paschal Martin moved
from Hawkins Co, TN to Benton Co, AR in 1850 & 1851-2, Sugar
Creek Twnsp, near Pea Ridge, and started Twelve Corners
Cemetery as a family cemetery, on their land. It's by Twelve
Corners Church. Paschal Callis's son, John Henry, married
William's g-dau, Martha Belle Warren, in 1890, but Paschal
Callis was buried there in 1871.(?)]
*** More notes from David Callis: Birthdates of David's siblings, children
of Henry Callis, are from David's bible records as published by his gg-g'son,
William Cocking.
When I got tired and just typed "Lunenburg" -- it means Lunenburg Co, VA.
I would love to get my hands on those two publications mentioned, and I
search by the author's name periodically -- but no luck yet!
I apologise for the delay in getting this posted - I started it last week,
and had to put it on hold till now.
What do you think of the possibility that William was born to Henry and a
first wife -- not Henry and Sarah Morris?
Good luck!
