Hi, your message board post was passed through to the Callis mail-list on
Rootsweb.com. I can probably help a little, as we have a Mary Callis in the
right place at the right time, but know nothing about her down-line. So,
your info is something we didn't have.
There's supposed to be a book about this family, maybe you can find it used
somewhere. I've also heard someone is putting out a cd reproduction of the
book. I'll check on that some more for you. The book title is: The Callis
Family in England and the USA, 1086-1998, by Helena Callis McGinnis (I think
I have the author's name right).
I've pasted in what I have been given on Mary Callis's ancestry:
