Marilyn,
was there more than one Hiram Callison? Remember that Samuel Callison in Texas had a grandson named Hiram, which is not a real common name.
Joyce
I may be leading us up the wrong garden path here and have to regroup. Hiram
had a son, John G. Callison, for whom I cannot find that the G stands for
Gillespie. So either disregard the Gillespie or if you have research on Hiram to
fill in the blank, let me know. As usual, I am getting my John G's confused.
I am back to looking into "alias" on the internet -- still coming up with
illigitimate but got to wondering about something.
Elizabeth Cutlip went on to marry John Callison 1791 in Greenbrier Co. When
her illigitimate child got married -- wouldn't it have mentioned Callison
alias Cutlip? Or did the circumstances change if the mother was married --
possibly to the father of the illigitimate child.This is too much to poinder early
in the AM.
GREAT NEWS THIS AM. Remember we have one line from Moses who only had 12
markers tested. Well he is going to order the additional tests to bring his
number up to 37. So when all the tests that are being run, get finished -- we
will have the following lines to compare
The thrice married James
A known son of William
A son from John Jr.
Hiram
Two lines from Moses -- son James and son Ezekial
Because the line from the thrice married James would have a MRCA (most
recent common ancestor) a couple of generations earlier than the rest of the lines
-- I would suspect that he might be off a marker or two from the rest but
there is just no way to predict this. Again it won't tell us in what generation
that the common ancestor was -- just that there was one.
Take care. Marilyn

John, you are right, I did forget about that John. I think he is the same
one who died in the War of 1812 and probably his brother Robert got his rifle
and it returned to Kentucky with Robert and his father, William. Now, is he the
same John who married Elizabeth Cutlip in 1791 -- THAT is the question.
One problem is that we only have William and John as potential parents --
THAT WE KNOW OF-- But we possibly have 3 John's -- John Jr. John who married
Cutlip and John, son of William.
We know that there was a John in Gallia Co in 1806 with William -- presumed
to be the same one who died in 1812
We also know that John and known son of William, Robert Callison, served in
the same company in the War of 1812
OR do we know more than we think we do <smile>
I would dearly LOVE to get a DNA sample from the Samuel COLLISON /CALLISON
who married Elizabeth Downing in Pike Co., OH. Just have some theories about
him. He was born 1801 Virginia and then the family to Pike Co., Ohio -- along
with a Margaret and Elizabeth Callison/Collison who also married Downings in
Pike Co. Just to introduce my theory a little at a time so that no one gets
blown away by it. <smile>
I can't find my notes for dates but Thomas Downing married either Margaret
or Elizabeth Collison before 1820 in Pike Co. In the 1820 census there is
another female the same age as his wife (age 16-26 born 1794-1804) and also an
older female-- over age 45 who the Downing researchers cannot identify. Also in
this county were Moses and Alexander Callison/Collison/Cullison
Before 1830 either Margaret or Elizabeth married Joseph Downing and by 1830
Thomas Downing no longer had the two extra females in the household. The
oldest female was born 1790-1800. The oldest female with Joseph was born
1800-1810. The Cutlip family was also in this County. The female over age 45 in 1820
is not listed in either household.
My theory is that the older Callison/Collison girl got married and her
younger sister and mother lived in the household with the newlyweds -- AND that
the older female is Elizabeth Cutlip Callison who went there after her husband
was killed in the War of 1812.
Now don't stroke out -- it is just a theory but as good as any other one at
this point. <smile>
Sadly both Elizabeth and Margaret died before the 1850 census so we can't
tell where they were born. If Samuel born 1801 connects to them and he was born
in Virginia then the real possibility is that they were in some other county
of Virginia other than Greenbrier or Bath because they aren't there but those
are the only ones, I have researched with tax records.
Enough for now. Take care. Marilyn

Don't forget the musket I found in posession of my cousin with the note,
This belonged to Uncle John who used it in War of 1812. This would have been
Williams son, Josephs brother. IT made its way west with Gilmore. He could have
gotten it from his father, Joseph or from the cousins from Ohio, Williams
children, who came west in same train. At any rate, william had a son, John.
Evidently never married as we have no records other than the musket and note and
1812 muster roles.
John
Incidently, the name Hirum was never used by any descendents of Joseph. If
he had an Uncle Hirum, surely it would have showed up somewhere along the line.
I doubt that William had a son named Hirum.

I don't know how many new people are on this list but I have had a few
requests for information on who so and so's father might be. So here is the
background.
We have James and Isabella Callison. James died in 1789 and left a will
naming one granddaughter and his children which included 4 sons -- John, William,
James Jr. and Robert.
At the time of James death in Augusta Co., VA, John and William were in
Greenbrier Co. VA and James Jr and Robert were still in Augusta Co.
Robert married and went to Todd Co and Christian Co., KY and his line
eventually to Callaway Co., MO. His children are named in a court proceeding after
the death of his father in law.
James Jr. married and went to Rhea/Roane Co., TN. We only know of two
assumed sons for him although we have nothing to show that these were the only 2--
James and Robert. James went to Texas and Robert went to Alabama.
William and John both died without wills. William is known to have two sons
based on Kentucky records (Joseph and Robert) but no idea how many more he
had. In 1793 he added a tithable to his personal property tax so one son
probably born about 1776. This extra male is listed with William until 1796 and
unfortunately, William is missing for the next 10 years so it is unknown how
many tithables he had at that point. However, his oldest known son, Joseph,
would not be tithable until 1798.
John had two sons over age 16 in 1787 (John Jr born 1769 and my assumption
is James who died in 1827) but it is not known about any other sons. In 1788
he has another son reach age 16. (born 1771). John Jr married in 1789 and has
his own listing. In 1805, John shows up for one year with another titheable
-- born 1788. 1806 is the last listing for John Callison Sr. ?? deceased.
Then we have a list of unknowns who stand a good chance of being a son of
either William or John
Hiram -- logically - a son of any of the 4 sons of James and Isabel --
first son named John, Used Gillespie as a name -- went to Kentucky
Absolom -- shows up in tax records Greenbrier in 1797 -- we have born 1777
but probably 1775 -- they got their own listing after turning age 21. Cannot be
a son of William because he had a sibling Robert and William had a different
Robert as a son. Had brothers Benjamin and Robert and possibly sister,
Susannah. First son named John, used Gillespie as a name, went to Kentucky
Alexander -- shows up in tax records Greenbrier in 1797 -- again born before
1775. By 1802 -1809, he is in Bath Co along with John Jr., Daniel Kellison
and Elizabeth Callison Morrison. He marries in Bath Co and then goes to Pike
Co Ohio along with Moses. His first son is William -- he also has an Absolom.
His family traveled to Illinois with Moses.
James -- as possible oldest son of John Sr listed in appropriate tax
records-- never married. Left a sister, Elizabeth Callison Morrison. Elizabeth used
Gillespie as a name along with Absolom and Alexander. James also left heirs
with surname of Brown. NO CLUE
William who married Marian Chapman -- went to Ky. First known son named
William but more males listed in census records that we know of. Still possible
that brothers James and Samuel who went to Texas are connected based on ages.
These brothers used the name Gillespie. William used the name Absolom. Shows
up in tax records of Greenbrier Co., VA in 1802 -1804 -- probably born before
1780-- marries in Greenbrier in 1804 and then to KY. At this point, we don't
know where William Sr might be. John Sr is in Greenbrier.
John who married Elizabeth Cutlip 1791 -- possibly the same John who was in
Gallia Co. Ohio with William in 1806 and killed in the War of 1812. John Sr
already with a son named John.
William Callison who returned to Augusta Co -- not born until 1797 -- was he
a next generation child
Daniel Kellison/Callison. Not a son of James Callison but not known if he
was Callison or Kellison. Records in Virginia have him as Callison and Kellison.
His daughter married Alexander.
Isaac COLLISON who married Cynthia Robinson -- born 1792 -- was he a next
generation child
Moses -- family history has son of William-- no concrete proof -- just
circumstantial. Born about 1786. First son named William. Also had sons, Hiram and
Absolom. No record in Virginia. Married 1807 Pike Co., OH. he and Alexander
went to Pike Co and then the two families went to Vermilion Co., IL together
James who married Isabel Jones-- no concrete proof as son of William -- just
circumstantial. Born about 1775. Married in Gallia Co., OH in 1806 where
William was living at the time. First son named William. Also used the name
Joseph -- so far only used in William's family
As regards Greenbrier marriages that might have been early enough to have
2nd generation children Isaac and William, the possibilites at this point are
John -- who married Elizabeth Cutlip 1791 and John Jr. who married Jane
McClure 1789. Of course, without DNA testing we don't even know if they actually
are Callisons or Collisons or Kellisons. <smile>
I hope this gives you some overview of the early family. Please add to it
for us all to share. Take care. Marilyn

Just wanted you all to know that it is never a bad thing to aim high in your
goals. I have been communicating with a Callison male that I found with an
entry on Callison genforum. He descends from the thrice married James Callison
and today, he agreed to do the test. I ordered it pronto so that should be
cooking pretty soon. This will tell the tale to confirm or not that the two
Callison lines really were related and almost assuredly places James and Isabel
in County Armagh, Ireland IF they are related. Then I got an email from a
member of this group who is a known descendant of William willing to be tested
also. He is going to order the 37 markers so that we can compare a known line
from William with the line from Moses. And then we have the line from Hiram
who updated his yesterday to 37 markers. Is life good-- or what. My big regret
is that the line from Absolom apparently got cold feet but maybe they'll
return to the fold in the future. Sure would be interesting. My wish list is
getting smaller. Thanks to all who have helped and are helping now with tracking
down some male lines. The more we have -- the more info we can learn. Once
we get a really good sample -- I am going to let one of the experts check it
out to see if they can draw any relationship conclusions but we are a ways
from that. I belong to a couple of DNA forums and about the only one that I can
understand is the NEWBIE one. I am at the bottom of the learning curve but
learning more every day. Take care. Marilyn
Well, good news this AM. Jim Callison has upgraded his line from Hiram to 37
markers. Now what will be interesting is to see IF he has his own unique
markers OR if he matches the line from Moses or the line from John Jr better.
Again, until we get a line from a known son of William, Moses is kinda up in the
air but this will be VERY INTERESTING. For all we know, we might be tracking
two sons of John Sr. <smile> Or would that be three sons -- Moses, Hiram and
John Jr. Anyway, no doubt that we all go back to James and Isabell. If any
of you are male Callisons OR have male Callisons that you are in contact with
-- even if you are not interested-- would you pass along my offer for
financial help to them. And in the meantime, I'll keep plugging away trying to
find more lines. Take care. Marilyn
OK, Hiram is definitely a CALLISON. His line matches exactly on 25 out of 25
markers with the line from John Jr and also the line from James, son of
Moses. In the future scheme of things, it might be good to go to 37 markers for
Hiram to see how he compares with Moses versus John jr. since there are some
minor differences between the two on markers 26-37. However without more tests
to compare them with, probably not of any great benefit at this time.
Another plan would be to upgrade line from Moses via his son Lewis to see how he
compares with line from James, son of Moses. Marian, tell Jim, he can sleep
tonight knowing that his surname is correct. <smile> Isn't this just too
exciting. Take care. Marilyn
Good morning Jim, I am CC this to the Callison mail list group because we
have been discussing DNA testing and waiting on news about Hiram. Feel free to
subscribe to the group and jump in whenever you like.
Just send an email to
_CALLISON-request(a)rootsweb.com_ (mailto:CALLISON-request@rootsweb.com)
and in the body of the note put Subscribe -- no other info-- and send it on
it's way.
Because we belong to haplogroup R1b (the most frequent one in Europe), we do
match 12 out of 12 markers with quite a few other surnames (63 other lines at
this point). Think ancient genealogy and sharing a common ancestor from
1000's of years ago. However the fact that we match 12/12 and share the same
surname increases the odds. Note: we don't match with any Baldwins <smile> The
Baldwins who have tested are also R1b but we the closest we have to any of
them is 10/12. I feel sure the tests left to be done will confirm the fact that
Hiram Callison descended from a male line of James and Isabella Callison
rather than a female line. I am writing this as though the further tests confirm
this fact. If there are many mismatches on the next set of resuts that will
be a BIG surprize. But anything is possible. Remember this is all an
assumption at this point -- that the next set of markers will be a match also. So it
seems -- the way the way his marriage was written up -- that his father was
Callison and his mother a Baldwin. -- rather than the other way around with
his mother a Callison and his father a Baldwin. Sooooooo even though they were
not married -- your male surname is CALLISON. Now the problem that you --
along with so many others-- don't know which son he descends from. James and
Isabella had 4 sons, John, William, Robert and James Jr. any of whom could be
the father. John and William went to Greenbrier Co about 1775 and Robert and
James Jr stayed longer in Augusta Co. However, John is known to have had a
daughter somewhere in that time period who remained in Augusta with her
grandparents. She is the only grandchild named in his will even though he had
others. We don't know when he married but apparently before 1769 when a son was
born.
William had other children born about the time of Hiram. One is thought to
be Moses who is of interest because he used the name Hiram in his family line.
James Jr did not marry until 1794 but I have often wondered why he waited so
long to marry. He went to Tn after his marriage.
Robert and James were left with family responsibilities in their father's
will -- apparently because the other two sons were not in the area any more. It
looks like Robert cared for Hiram after his father's death because Hiram got
married about 16 years after that date and he had been in the care of Robert
for 16 years per his marriage.
Robert moved to Todd Co Ky after his marriage and the death of his parents.
There is a court case involving his children versus his father in laws estate.
Even if Hiram was his child, he would probably not have been named in this
case since he was not a descendant of that line.
The line that seems the most interesting to me is a connection between Hiram
and another line that we can't connect the dots to one of the sons --
Absolom.
Absolom and Hiram both used the name Gillespie as a middle name. Absolom and
Hiram both went to Kentucky -- along with a known line from William. Absolom
had a brother Benjamin and there was a Benjamin listed at the same time
with Robert for one year in Augusta Co., VA. There has also been family stories
that Moses had a Benjamin in his line.
Absolom also had a brother Robert killed in the War of 1812 and William (the
son of James and Isabell) had a known son, Robert, who lived long past the
war of 1812 so at this point -- William is out of the picture as father of
Absolom.
What the DNA does not tell us is what sons we descend from. Hopefully in the
future, we will find unique mutations for each of us and that will help but
when you look at your results the ones that you match exactly with descend are
a line from Moses (father thought to be William) and a line from John Jr
(son of John) with James and Isabella being the MRCA (most recent common
ancestor)

Does anyone have any help for this gentleman. I found his query on Callison
genforum. Seems like Moses family was in Green Co, MO at an earlier date. Take
care. Marilyn
He married Sarah Elizabeth Davis 4 apr 1880 in Christian County, Mo.
Here is everything I know about James M. Callison and his wife Sara.
Sarah Elizabeth Davis
Third oldest in a family with 9 children
Parents: Gearge Davis(1818-1900), b. Bedford, TN, d. Republic, Greene Co.,
MO, Wisehill Cem.
Sarah Elizabeth Hart(1823-1918) b. Davidson, NC, d. Republic, Greene Co.,
MO, Wisehill Cem.
b. 13 Apr 1850, Bedford Co., TN, USA
d. 20 Sep 1912, Republic, Greene Co., MO, Wisehill Cem (birth and death
dates from death certificate)
m. James M. Callison, 04 Apr 1880 (Christian County marriage records)
Children: two, both unnamed infants(one a boy), buried in Wisehill Cem
(Cemetery transcription)
I found Sarah Callison (Sarah Elizabeth Davis), age 47, born Apr 1853, in
the 1900 Census, Greene County, Republic TWP living with Sarah Davis(Sarah
Elizabeth Hart), age 77, born Sep 1822, her mother. Her dad(George Davis) died in
April this year. Also living with them is Zettie Callison , listed as grand
daughter, age 12(born Apr 1888). Where is Sarah Callison’s husband, James M.
Callison? Remember, Christian county marriage records show that they married
3 Mar 1880.
Next, I found a Walter Callison, age 15, born Sep 1885, living in Christian
County, Porter TWP, with his uncle and aunt, Barney and Mary Wells. Mary is
Mary Jane Davis, Sarah Callison’s sister.
Next, I found a James M. Callison, age 46, born Apr 1854, living in Stone
County, Union TWP, which is straight south of town Clever, which is in
Christian county, over the county line. His profession is listed as a photographer.
He is living with his wife of 12 years, Julia A., age 38, born Apr 1862. She
is listed as having 7 children. Children in the household are listed as,
Charley C., son, age 17
Ira B., son, age 11
Ethel, daughter, age 9
Zephra A., daughter, age 7
Troy G., son, age 4
Clancy, son, age 1
Also
Earnest Kerr, stepson, age 16
Etta Kerr, stepdaughter, age 14
Since They have only been married 12 years, and she is listed as having 7
children, I suspect that both Kerr children are from a previous marriage and 5
of the other 6 are hers. Charley C. must be his from a previous marriage.
This is all I have.
Need to find a divorce record for the Davis-Callision marriage to show this
is him. Also, a cemetery transcription or obit of James might be helpful.
My suspicions are that James M. Callison and Sarah Elizabeth Davis were
married in 1880 in Christian County, had at least 4 children between 1880 and
1888, two of whom lived past infancy. They divorced sometime in 1887 or 1888(if
they stayed married until Zettie was born). James married Julia A. ? in 1888
and had a child early in 1889.
No Callison listed in the Greene or Christian county, MO court indexes for
the period 1881-1889 for divorce.
What I would like to know about James M. Callison:
1. Birth and death dates and where.
2. Where he is buried.
3. What are the names and birth/death dates of his 4 or 2(?) children?
12 markers are in for Hiram and waiting on the other 13. At this point.
Hiram IS a Callison. Anyone want to speculate what male he descends from? I
SUSPECT that he will continue to match with the rest of the male Callisons but
will just have to wait and see. At this point, he has 2 exact matches (and only
2) in all the databases -- This would be the lines from John Jr and from one
of Moses lines. The other line from Moses has one mutation. So we have James
Jr., John, Robert and William. At some later date when we get more people
sampled and more markers, it is hoped that John and William will start to
develop their own unique signatures
_http://www.familytreedna.com/public/CULLISON/index.aspx?fixed_columns=on_
(http://www.familytreedna.com/public/CULLISON/index.aspx?fixed_columns=on)
You can see that the first entry for Callison has a difference at #392 -- he
is from Louis, son of Moses and that is probably his signature
You can see that the second and third ones have differences at 576 and YCA
-2. Without some one else testing this many markers (either Louis line or Hiram
line or another line all together) we can't say which numbers were original
and which ones were mutations BUT at least these are specific to each of
them. The second batch of numbers is from Moses through his son, James
The 3rd batch of numbers is from John Jr line and the last one (unassigned
at this point) is from Hiram.
Isn't this exciting -- at least I think it is pretty exciting. One more off
my Christmas wish list. Still have
Line from thrice married James
Line from a known line from William
Line from Robert
Line from James Jr
Line from Isaac who married Cynthia
Line from William who married Marian Chapman
Line from Daniel Kellison
Line from William who returned to Augusta Co
Line from Alexander
Line from Absolom
Line from brothers James or Samuel who went to Texas
Don't want much in life do I?
Dottie sent a link to emeraldancestors.com and I did a search for Callison.
Just thought it interesting that the name was still used 100 years after our
branch left the area. Wonder if these people are related to us. They certainly
used our names -- Samuel, John, Margaret, Mary, James. You have to buy a
subscription to get the complete info but this is interesting as it is. Thanks

Here is a web site with some Callison land records. Are there any
researchers for the thrice married James Callison on this list, who might know what
happened to all of the land in Greenbrier Co that James Callison received AND
which James is doing the buying?
_http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~deeskindredkorner/Callison%20La...
Records.html_
(http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~deeskindredkorner/Callison%20Lan...)
370 acres Locust Bottom bought 1787
360 Big Levels joining John McClanaham bought 1787. Samuel Brown had land by
James Callison in Big Levels area.
In 1787 personal property tax, there was only one James Callison and he had
an extra tithable male. I ASSUME this is the thrice married James Callison
118 Little Levels joining Joshua Ewing and where James Callison now lives
bought 1795
35 additional acres in the same area bought 1795. The land of Ewing and
Callison is listed in Bath Co and joins William Salsberry
In 1795 the James who is listed appears to be the same one listed as James
Jr a couple of time. James the father may have gone to Tn by this time. James
Jr married in Bath Co in 1797 and begins showing up in tax records there in
1805
190 acres Spring Creek bought in 1825
1823 personal property tax -- 2 James
1824 personal property tax - 2 James
1825 personal property tax -- 3 James with one designated Sr. -- continues
through 1827 when one James died and the ones that are left are Spring Creek
and Meadows
These only represent land grants -- no purchase of land from someone other
than the government. So are these all for thrice married James and his
descendants? Does anyone have any other land purchased or sold for James Callison --
possibly naming a wife?? Take care. Marilyn
Target date for DNA results for line from Hiram -- MARCH 2. Sometimes they
are ahead of schedule and sometimes behind. This is so exciting. Take care.

Ginger, I had to laugh at that. Yes, I know but I still hold out hope that
as time goes by more info might be available.
Are you OK down there. I have not talked to my friend Jan in DeBarry but
have thought of both of you and hoped that all was well. I did not hear mention
of either of your cities so felt reassured about that.
It's cold here but the sun finally came out and I had no clue why the den
was so bright. Pretty sad, huh.
You'll be one of the first to know if I ever figure out the Browns. <smile>
Take care. Marilyn
Marilyn & gang, Here is James Will from Greenbrier Co (W)VA Wills 1777-1833 pg. 186
"172-13 James CALLISON, Will: 4 May 1827 prob Jul 1827. Sister; Betsey MORRISON:heirs, relationship not given; Margaret COULTER w/o John COULTER, John BROWN, Sarah BROWN w/o Wm BROWN, John N.BROWN,
Wm. L. BROWN, Wm BROWN s/o John BROWN, Samuel BROWN s/o Israel BROWN, George BROWN and James BROWN s/o John BROWN & wife Betsey BROWN, James C. BRUFFEE, Jane BROWN d/o Samuel BROWN, James R. BROWN s/o William BROWN. Exec: John BROWN. Wit; Wm R. BEARD, James BROWN, Thomas BROWN. Sec; Johnson REYNOLDS.
I doublechecked correctness with the text so should be accurate. It sounds to me like the Brown's named their children for parents & siblings just like the Callisons & rest of them did which makes deciphering much more difficult.

I hate to ask AGAIN but does anyone have the will of James Callison who died
in 1827 Greenbrier Co., VA. I know that he named as an heir, his sister,
Betsy Morrison and left "his plantation to Margaret Coulter, wife of John" and
named lots of Brown people. So in some manner, he seems to be connected to this
family but HOW. There was a James Callison listed on tax records the same
day as John Coulter but I could find no land changing hands between Callison
and Coulter. This is the closest that I can get to Coulter/Brown and
CallisonTake care. Marilyn
John Coulter was born 1750 in Pennsylvania,
married a Mary ca. 1770, and died January 1814 in Greenbrier Co.
VA They had 8 children:
Sarah, b. 1771 Pennsylvania, m. Robert Snodgrass 10/5/1791 Greenbrier
Co. VA
George F, b. 1775, Pennsylvania, d. 1865 Greenbrier Co. WV
Hannah, b. 1779, m. Martin Delaney 7/11/1799 Greenbrier Co. VA
Robert, b 3/17/1785, m. Peggy Ellis 12/30/1806 Greenbrier Co. VA
**** Mary, b 1786, m. James Brown 3/20/1806 Greenbrier Co. VA
