I have over 20 spellings of Callison in my research. Mostly before 1860.
After that they seem to fall into just 3 or 4 spellings.
The John born 1806 in Kentucky, children in Illinois and then Mo. is
probably John Dawson Callison, born 1805 Ky, moved to Illinois in 1833 and then to
MO. Had children in all 3 states.
John
I am trying to find a possible son for Moses in 1850 and came across this
entry. Does anyone know this family. Burnett is listed as COLLISON in the index.
This is the same county and twp. that John W. COLLISON/CALLISON, son of John
Jr. is listed. He is listed as COLLISON in this census
Elisha CULLISON, age 42, born Kentucky
Matilda, age 32 born Kentucky
Children, Elizabeth (Indiana age 10), William Rush (age 6 Iowa) and George W.
(age 2, Iowa)
Then in the same household Burnett COLLISON, age 37 Kentucky. I don't know if
they were actually Collisons/Callisons or Cullisons. Do they look familiar to
anyone. I KNOW we have discussed him years ago but I have no memory of the
outcome. Also in this same Twp is a Hiram CULLISON, age 16, born Indiana in the
household of Garrett Newgen(?) whose wife was born in Indiana also -- so maybe
she was Melinda Cullison
I have discounted all of the COLLISONS from Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island,
New York, Pennsylvania, Canada, England etc trying to find some missing people
Most of my John and Jane McClure Callison are listed as COLLISON in the 1850
census for Clark Co., Oh and Delaware Co., In.. I also have Callison listed as
COLLISON in Virginia, Alexander's family in Pike Co., Ohio and Vermilion Co.,
Illinois, Grainger Co., TN
In Daviess County, Missouri, There is a Franklin COLLISON, age 29, born
Virginia and his family along with James COLLISON age 36, born Virginia. We can
probably connect all of the COLLISON"s to families except for those born in the
states I mentioned earlier.
Now for the Callisons in 1850-- 355 and then excluding Ireland, England, New
York, Pennsylvania and Maryland (who may be Collison's) -- the rest in Ohio,
Indiana, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois can be placed into families
that we know about. There is a Nancy Callison born 1819 Kentucky in Garrard
Co., Ky with children living in the household of Will Rollins that I don't know
about. Her children were SAmantha, Jane and Margaret. Anyone know about her
There is one unknown CALISON, John born 1806 Kentucky with children born
Illinois 1833-1841 and then Missouri --- Adair Co., MO
Most of the CULLISON"S are Coshocton Co., Ohio, Knox County, Ohio,
Athens Co., Ohio and Maryland so if you happen to find a CALLISON or a
COLLISON in those counties, they are probably CULLISON. I'ts anyone's guess if they
connect further back than 1742
Back to CULLISON. Does anyone know of a John Callison/Collison/Cullison born
Tn 1824 married to a Mary with children, Susan and May along with a Mary
Callison born Tn 1834 who all lived together in 1850 Fayette Co., Illinois between
two KNOW families from TN
So this covers the 1850 census to some degree. Keep in mind that some of the
Callisons were also listed as Kellison in this census to get an idea about
census records. <smile>
So Callison/Collison/Cullison(maybe)/ Kellison oh yes, some of them are
listed as CALLERSON and there is a John KELLERSON born 1803 Kentucky found in
FRanklin Co., Mo so if we can claim him as a Callison that gives us another
spelling.
Does anyone know who this Elisha might be. Absolom's land was in Twp 21 N
Range 13 W and Elisha was in Twp 19 N Range 13 W. Absolom was the son of
Alexander.. . Take care. Marilyn

I think that the census records pretty much show that there was one unknown
male living in the household of Moses and Catherine. So I am taking Milburn's
list of females to see what we can do with the girls. Dottie always thought
that there may have been a son, Benjamin, that we have been on the lookout for.
Milburn do you have any idea as to where William, the son of the unknown came
from --- or are you like me and have NO CLUE where some of our early research
originated.
Anyway, the census supports one extra male for Moses and Catherine. While we
are still on the boys, does anyone have Absolom, son of Moses in the 1840
census.
I am going with an earlier birthdate for Elizabeth because she was married in
1834 and the 1840 census has her age 20-30 (1810-1820). I cant find them
after 1840 to get a better age for Elizabeth.
A little history -- Moses lived by Alexander Callison in Pike Co., Ohio.
After Alexander died, his son, Absolom moved to Vermilion Co., Illinois by 1831
where Moses was living. We know that Alexander had daughters Polly and
Elizabeth. However, I was able to find a marriage for his ASSUMED daughter, Polly, in
Pike Co., Ohio so that increases the possibility that Polly is the daughter of
Moses. Absolom was not married until he got to Vermilion Co., Illinois and I
could find marriages for the other children of Alexander in Pike Co (except for
Elizabeth)
1820 Moses -- Ohio
female under age 10 fits for Sarah born 1819
female under age 10 fits for Polly born 1816 -- or Elizabeth 1810-1820
female age 10-18 ? (1802-1810) -- we can't put Elizabeth here for 1810
because this female is missing in 1830 and Elizabeth was not married by this time so
this person is UNKNOWN
female 1 age 18-26 -- Catherine-1850 census has Catherine born 1790 to
compare with this year of birth of 1794- 1802 so probably just a case of the census
taker put the check in the wrong box
Considering that Moses and Catherine got married in 1808 and that there were
two children (male and female) age 10 and over in 1820, I am wondering if they
were twins OR if these were, in fact, all children of Moses or not. Perhaps
the older girl was a mother's helper.
So at this point there are three females of the age to be children but the
older one is not enumerated in 1830 so we may never know about her. This leaves
us with 2 girls and of the girls that we are trying to attribute to Moses, we
have 3 born under age 10 (Elizabeth 1810-1820, Polly 1816 and Sarah 1819) so
right off the bat, we can begin to think that one of these does not belong)
Moses-- Illinois
1830
one female under 5 (1825-1830) -- 1850 census has Matilda born 1826
one female 5-10( (1820-1825)-- unknown female -- MAY be Sarah born 1819-- one
just never knows
one female 10-15( 1815-1820)-- Unknown female Fits for Sarah born 1819 OR
Polly 1816- OR Elizabeth (1810-1820)
female age 30-40 (1790-1800) Catherine (note age compared to 1820)
Now missing the
10-18 year old female from 1820 -- Unknown female (1808 when Moses
married-1810)
Elizabeth Callison and Polly Callison both married 1836 Vermilion Co., Il--
1840
females
1 age 5-10 (1830-1835) Nancy born 1835 per 1850 census
1 age 15-20 (1820-1825)- possibly Matilda born 1825/1826
1 age 20-30 (1810-1820) Fit for Sarah born 1819
1 age 40-50
So it looks like Moses could not have Elizabeth, Sarah and Polly as children
in the 1830 census and since Polly and Elizabeth married in 1836 and their age
group is still represented in the family in 1840 -- the default goes to Sarah
who didn't marry until after 1840.
So my best guesstimation is that Sarah, Matilda and Nancy are definitely
children of Moses, Polly is probably a child, there may be an older unknown female
child, and Elizabeth is a child of Alexander. NOW is the time for everyone to
jump right in and show me the errors of my ways. I am SURE there are many. If
I am not mistaken Absolom signed for his sister, Elizabeth to marry.
There was a Margaret Collison who married Joseph Downing in 1823 Pike County,
Ohio. IF she is the female listed in 1820 but not 1830, she married pretty
young. I don't think that Alexander had a daughter, Margaret, but if anyone has
his will handy, could they let me know about that please. I'm still thinking
that she goes in a different family grouping
Marilyn:
Man - it seems like I can't get all my information in one mailing. You
asked sometime back about information on Moses and Catherines daughters
and I omitted Sarah Jane Callison. I have her as born abt 1819 in IL she
married a Lucien Amos 2 Mar 1845 in Greene Co., MO. Lucien Amos was born
1823 in TN and died 22 Mar 1863 in Fayetteville,Washington Co., MO. I
have them having 4 Children - Sarah Jane b. 1845 - William b. 1846 - John
b. 1848 - and Martha b. 1849. It is possible that all the children were
born in MO as that is where the marriage took place. Sorry about
omitting Sarah Jane.
Milburn
Marilyn:
Here is what I have on the Children of Moses Callison and Catherine
Bonnett. I have an (Unknown) Callison born 1810 in IL he married an
(Unknown) and they had a child named William. Next is William b. 1813 -
Polly b. 1816 - Hiram Lonzo b. 1818 - Absolem b. Abt 1819 - Sarah Jane b.
abt 1819 - Elizabeth G. b. Abt 1822 - Matilda b. Abt 1825 - James b. 1826
- Caleb b. abt 1828 - Ezekiel b. 30 Jan 1831 - John Crabill b. 1832 and
lastly Nancy Jane b. 30 Mar 1835. I do not know how this jives with
everyone else's dates. I am pretty sure I might be off on some and
others might be off on some of theirs. I have a question about the
(Unknown) Callison I have listed. Could it be possible that he might be
named after Catherine Bonnett's father Henry Bonnett as William is named
after Moses Father. I thought I would throw that in for what it is
worth. I have never searched for this information as I had not ever
thought it might be a possibility. Well - this is it. Let me know what
you think of all the Callisons. Bye for now and keep up the good work as
you always do.
Milburn
Marilyn:
At this time the only thing I have on the Shook - Callison connection is
this. Eliza Jane Callison ( daughter of John Dawson Callison and Mary
Ann Page ) was born 1831 in Adair Co.,KY and died Apr 1855 in
Kirksville,Adair Co.,MO. I have her marrying an (Unknown) Shook on 23 Oct
1844. I have them listed as having 4 children --Mary Ann Shook - James
Buchanan Shook - Henry Clay Shook and lastly John Dawson Shook. Hope
this helps the person that was requesting information.

I have been looking at some of the Callison pictures on the Web. Does everyone know that when the screen comes on after you click on the web there is a button there with images written on it? If you will type in the family name and click on the image button it will bring up all of the pictures of the Callison, or whatever family, that have been posted on the web. There are several pictures of Gilmore Callison and his family on there. There are some old tombstones and some history. Unfortunately, there are some very old Callison tombstones with writing on them but whoever posted them has taken the info off.
If you have never tried this it usually has some old pictures posted, but usually just a lot of stuff people want others to see, but not historical.

John Gillespie Callison that married Elsie Scott in Gonzales Co., Texas is the son of Samuel C. Callison and Ida Orlena Box. He was born in Houston Co., Texas. They moved to Llano County, Texas in the 1880s, or at least he got land there bought with Texas Confederate Script which was given only to those who were severely wounded in the Civil War. He was a member of Terry's Texas Rangers and was listed as severely wounded.
I have been in contact with a person who is trying to find out who her ancestor, Mary (Mollie) Callison was who married in Burnet Co., Texas. She had a sister named Ida. I am sure they are the children of John and Elsie but need to find them on a census.
I was in touch with Tom at one time as I think he was helping a grandchild of John and Elsi es find her Callison family.

Marilyn - This Susannah Collison/Callison married William Flack in
Lincoln Co., KY on March 15, 1797. At some point in yesteryear a
researcher incorrectly named her husband as Christopher Flick/Flack, and
others have just copied that info and not documented it. So, the error
is being perpetuated. I have a DAR application for a descendant of
William Flack and Susannah Callison. You and I have talked before about
Susannah being a sister to Absalom, along with brothers Benjamin and
Robert.
Take care,

Kellason William 17July 1806
Were these all sons of William of James and I. ??
Makes sense to me that on his way to Ohio, William and family passed through
Kentucky and 3 older sons decided to homestead there instead of Ohio.
This Absalom had children in the 1810 and 1820 census in Gerrard Co Ky

Well briefly, I descend from a grandson of James and Isabel Callison --
namely John Callison who married Jane McClure. I researched only my direct line for
many years UNTIL I got on the internet and found others working on the
Callison surname. I decided to try to work on as much of the family that I could
through the miracle of the internet along with trips to Salt Lake City library
and county courthouses. I know a little about alot of Callisons and alot about a
few Callisons. Take care. Marilyn
Ok here is my Cananda connection
George Francis Callison born 1898 in Putnam Co., Mo. the son of Henry
Callison and Harriet McLean. He is in my John and Jane McClure Callison line and
descends from James and Isabella Callison
Anyway, he went to Sunny Slope, Alberta Canada and ended up in St. John,
British Columbia where his family still resides.
My Alberta connection descends from William Callison, brother to the above
mentioned Henry. His name is Alvin Lowrey. Do you happen to know of him. I hope
we can connect your friend to our Callison family. Seems as if we worked on
this branch at an earlier time and that they descended from Hiram BUT I AM NOT
SURE. Take care. Marilyn
The following is taken from the EDMONTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA online
Alvin LOWREY
Alvin LOWREY has served as Principal Trumpet of the Edmonton Symphony
Orchestra since 1975. In this capacity he has participated in all of the ESO's CBC
SM-5000 series recordings plus one earlier CBC recording conducted by Pierre
Hetu. He was also co-principal cornet on the Edmonton Wind Ensemble's often aired
CBC recording, Concert in the Park, conducted by Harry Pinchin. Alvin has
been the trumpet soloist in the ESO's annual performance of Handel's Messiah as
well as trumpet soloist in the ESO's 1992 presentaton of Bach's Cantata No. 51
for Soprano, Trumpet and Strings. He has performed the Concerto for Trumpet by
Alexandra Pakhmutova on the Master Series concert in 1987 and was trumpet
soloist in Dmitri Shostakovich's Concert for Piano, Trumpet and Orchestra in
1990. In addition to these solo appearances with the ESO, he has been featured fre
quently with the Alberta Baroque Ensemble and has presented numerous recitals
with local organists Carol Otto, Marnie Giesbrecht, Bruce Wheatcroft and
Jeremy Spurgeon.
Prior to coming to Edmonton, Alvin taught at the Universities of Illinois
(Champaign-Urbana), Northern Colorado (Greeley), Western Michigan (Kalamazoo) and
at Michigan State University (East Lansing). Since his arrival in Edmonton,
he has taught at Alberta College, King's College and is currently a Visiting
Professor of Trumpet at the University of Alberta. In 1984 he was commissioned
by the International Trumpet Guild to compile a research project documenting
the LP-era of classical solo trumpet recordings. This extensive 1700 page
project was published in 1990 by Camden House as Lowrey's International Trumpet
Discography.

Hello Marilyn,
What a wonderful greeting today. Thanks for the kind letter.
I will get all this info for you and send it along by early next week.
What I do have here is that her father was Thomas Andrew Callison.
He had a sister Amanda who married a Rankin, I think in Dallas area.
I know Elsie has been to Texas on numerous occasions.
Thomas' father was John Gillespie, married to Elsie Scott.
Just talked with Elsie on the phone and she is really excited about
her family roots, always has been. I have done a lot of research for
her as she has been a wonderful friend and neighbour.
Will close for now but hope to hear more from you, Marilyn. By the way,
could you describe your Callison connection briefly?
Catch you all later. Hey, It's our Thanksgiving weekend up here in Canada.
Anybody for turkey?
Tom

Hi all, I have sent copies of picture of the following people to all of my
John and Jane McClure Callison line but don't think that we can sent through
rootsweb sooooooo if anyone wants to see what the following people looked like,
let me know off list.
These people descend from John and Jane
John W. -- a grandson and 3 of his children. That is as far as I have gotten
to this point.
As I mentioned to them. John and Jane had 8 children. I have early pictures
from many of these children. Almost all of the children's lines are built very
slender except for this particular line from their child John Jr. so I am
wondering if the robust build is a product of John Jr.s wife, Mary Kizer. Guess I
could try to find some Kizer descendants to check that out. Anyway, that is
where I am on pictures. Take care. Marilyn

Hello,
My husband, Richard Wyland, is a descendant of Eliza
Jane Callison. She would be his maternal ggrandmother
who married Henry Shook. I have been doing his family
genealogy and have been in contact with Fred Hartkopf
who gave me this email address.
Is there information you would share? I have good
information about John Dawson Shook, b. 1855,
Kirksville, MO. He married Mary Ellen Gough in
Scotland, MO. My husband's mother, Ruth Shook, was
the last of their seven children. I have collaborated
with a descendant of Ruth's next oldest brother, Henry
Clark Shook.
Thank you for any information you may want to
exchange.
Jan Wyland
