Just thinking of Robert Callison, son of William. Don't ask me why I was
thinking of him but I wanted to put him into a time line
He was born about 1787 and would have been tiheable with William about 1803
when we aren't sure where William was at the time.
Robert first shows up with his own tax record -- being age 21-- in 1808 in
Lincoln Co., KY where Joseph and William who married Chapman are living. He
is still there in 1810 but by 1812, he is in Gallia Co., OH with William who
has been there since 1806.
Robert apparently serves in the War of 1812 for Gallia in the same company
as John Callison. This says County Unknown but must be Gallia Co because
William Callison was the ADM of the will of James Jardine and Isabelle, the widow
of James Jardine married PettiJohn/Pethjohn

Robert is not listed in Ohio again and next shows up in Kentucky with
William when they both married in 1817. William remained in Ohio until 1814. In
1816, William had an extra male in Adair Co., KY over age 21 enumerated with him
so is assumed to be Robert. Robert is not found in Adair Co., KY after 1824
when he and Dicey sold land to Joseph Callison. He is listed as Reuben
Callison in the 1830 census for Chariton Co., MO age 40-50 with 3 presumed sons and
3 presumed daughters. There is a CALLISON Cemetery in Chariton County,
Missouri.

Early histories are treasures without a doubt but sometimes we have to sift
through some of the information. What we KNOW
James and Isabella, the parents of this William were married in 1806 Gallia
Co., OH. I don't find anything to support the idea that James and Isabella
returned to Greenbrier Co. Virginia by 1808 and the only thing to disprove it,
is that James did not pay tax in Greenbrier in 1807 or 1809. No tax in
Virginia in 1808. Sadly there is no census for Greenbrier nor for the state of Ohio
in 1810.
James age 26-45, however does show up in the 1820 census for Mercer Co., Ohio
I have wondered if this James Callison was the same person. The company was
possibly from Ross Co but not sure. Does anyone know the father of Isabel
Jones to see if the Jacob Jones might connect here also.

Marilyn,
According to the information I have (and I'm not sure where it came from, so I don't know how much is accurate--I got it when I was first got interested in genealogy MANY years ago) James and Isabella were married in 1806 in Ohio, were in Greenbrier Co. in 1808; back in Ohio in 1811; and back in VA in 1819. I'm going by the birthplaces of their children. William in 1808 in VA, Nancy about 1810 in VA, James in 1811 in Ohio, Isabel unknown when and where, Sarah about 1819 in VA, Joseph about 1823 unknown place, and then Margaret, Elizabeth, & Jacob, unknown dates and places.

Thanks John, that is really sad to think that only 100 people died and two
of them were brothers. So, because of the fact that one of the brothers was
ROBERT, we can eliminate William, son of James and Isabel as the father of
Robert, Benjamin, Absolom, and Susannah since William is known to have a son,
Robert who lived long past this date. In fact, all of the sons of James and
Isabella have known sons, Robert, EXCEPT for John Sr.
And the thrice married James Callison left a will and did not name any of
these people.
Rena, I forget -- was it William Flack or James Fitzgerald who called
Absolom, his brother in law?
IF research in the years to come shows that Robert, Benjamin, Absolom,
Susannah, Alexander, John Jr. James (who died in 1827) and Elizabeth (Morrison)
were all children of John Sr -- he had a BIG family.
The most males that I can come up with for John Sr. via tax records are
Two born 1766-1771
one born about 1772
and possibly one born about 1774
NO WAY can I get 6 males out of the tax records unless some of them left the
area before they became titheable at age 16. I wonder how old Benjamin and
Robert were when they died in 1794. Rena, is that information in the Bible --
when they were born or how old they were when they died?

The Battle of Fallen Timbers, August 20, 1794, has been called the “last
battle of the American Revolution” and one of the three most important battles
in the development of our nation. The decisive victory by the Legion of the
United States over a confederacy of Indian tribes opened the Northwest
Territory, a five-state region unceded by the native inhabitants, for westward
expansion and led to Ohio’s statehood in 1803!
The battle took place amid trees toppled by a tornado just north of the
Maumee River in the present-day city of Maumee.
The legion was commanded by General “Mad” Anthony Wayne, a veteran of
Valley Forge handpicked by President Washington to oversee the new nation’s first
professional army. Wayne’s force, made up of 1,600 to 1,700 “regulars” and
1,500 members of the Kentucky Militia, marched north from Cincinnati to build
a series of forts between the Ohio and Maumee rivers. Among Wayne’s officers
was 21-year-old General William Henry Harrison, who would become the ninth
president of the United States.
Waiting for Wayne and his men were about 1,000 warriors representing the
native confederacy and led by Miami war chief Little Turtle, an old nemesis of
the United States. Other leaders of the confederacy included Shawnee Chief
Blue Jacket and Delaware Chief Buckongahelas. One of the most famous leaders of
the native resistance, Tecumseh, also took part in the battle.
Fewer than 100 men on each side died in the brief battle, but the Legion’s
victory marked a major turning point in the battle for the western frontier.
The victory led to the signing the Treaty Greenville in 1795. Without the
treaty, portions of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin might have
remained a buffer zone between Indian and settled territory, or even become
part of British-controlled Canada.
It is interesting that the militia came from Kentucky. I expect the Callison
boys were in the militia. Fewer tan 100 men, but both Callison boys. Wrong
place at the wrong time for both.
Did not know it was called by "Fallen Timbers". The info I read called it
the battle of the Maumee River, which is less than a mile from the actual
battle site.

Marilyn,
My William (wife--Lorahama or Loruhanna Crow), who was a son of James and
Isabella, had a son and grandson whose names were Benjamin Matthew and
Benjamin Otto, respectively. Benjamin Otto was my grandfather.
If anyone is interested here is a paragraph from "History of LaPorte, Co.,
Indiana" written in 1880:
"William Callison, one of the earlier settlers of this county, was born July
9, 1808, in Greenbrier Co., VA. He came with his parents, James and
Isabella, to Mercer County, Ohio, in 1820. In 1826 he went with them to Ft.
Wayne, Ind., in 1829 to Elkhart County, and in 1834 he came to LaPorte
County with his wife and 2 children and a yoke of oxen which was all the
property he owned. Thus he began in life and by untiring energy and
perseverance acquired means to live in retirement the remainder of his days.
On Aug. 2, 1842, he was seriously hurt in a threshing machine accident,
which severed one leg 6 inches below the knee. On Oct. 28, 1830 he m.
Loruhanna Crow...they had 13 children--7 living. Mrs. Callison died June
19, 1879."

Rena, this is your field of expertise. Just jump right in. I know their

record. Any war records?
Was the Battle of Maumee -- Fallen Timbers-- that took place in 1794 the
battle where Robert and Benjamin were killed.
I was thinking it was during the War of 1812 but can't find any reference to
it in that war. Probably not looking right. Anyway, if it was 1794 -- they
would have been born about 1774 - 1778 time period which fits in with the age
of Absolom. And if 1794 time period -- what state did they enlist from?
Benjamin in Augusta Co obviously born about 1790 time period

James Calleson is listed as being 56 years old in the 1860 census of Fayette
Co., Texas.
Well from working in these tax records for the last couple of weeks, it is
safe to say that the ONLY Callisons in Greenbrier, Bath or Augusta County,
Virginia in this time period
1.James and Isabel had known sons 2.John, 3.William, 4.Robert and 5.James Jr.
2.John had one known son, 6.John Jr. and one assumed by me to be 7.James who
died in 1827.
6.John Jr. married in 1789 and had a son, 8.James, who was in Ohio with him
7.James who died in 1827 was unmarried
3. William had sons 9. James, 10, Joseph, 11, Robert and 12. John
9. James was found in 1801 in Ohio with William, married in 1806 Ohio and
went to Indiana
10 Joseph went to KY and has a well documented family
11. Robert married in 1817
12. John is an known -- no connection to William other than a rifle from the
War of 1812 from "Uncle John" in Joseph's family. There is a John in Gallia
Co, OH - 1806-- the same time as William and a John who died in the War of
1812 from Gallia Co., OH
4. Children of Robert Callison well documented from a court case involving
land of his father in law, James Mitchell. This family went to Ky and then on
to Callaway Co., MO.
5. James Jr. went to TN about 1802. Had assumed sons, 13.James and 14 Robert
who married in Rhea Co. TN. It is possible that he had a 15.John
13.James went to Texas where he was killed in one of the battles for Texas
Independence
14. Robert went to Alabama
15. John possibly the same John Gillespie who went to Alabama and then onto
Texas
Now also documented in Virginia in this pre 1810 time period is
1804 Greenbrier, William Callison married Marian Chapman. A William shows up
in Greenbrier in 1802 -1804 and then a William shows up in Kentucky where
Joseph and Absolom are living. There were no unknown titheables in Virginia in
1801. # 3 Willliam had no extra titheables with him in Ohio in 1801
1792 -- Alexander first mentioned in a court case in Greenbrier with John
standing up for him. He gets his own tax listing in 1797. Both John and William
had an extra titheables off and on for a couple of years previous to 1796.
1791 - John Callison married Elizabeth Cutlip. Does not seem to be titheable
with anyone up to this date and not found after this date. Just dropped in
to get married???
1797 -- Absolom first shows up in tax records for Greenbrier Co
Hiram Callison known to be a male Callison descendant of James and Isabel.
Lived in Augusta Co until he went to KY.
# 4 Robert Callison had an extra titheable male with him 1803, 1804, 1805.
In 1805, Hiram had his own listing. In 1806 Robert had only himself but Hiram
had an extra male through 1809 and in 1811, there is Robert, Hiram and
Benjamin. It looks almost like Robert was caring for Hiram and Benjamin and when
Hiram came of age, he took over the care of Benjamin until 1811 when Benjamin
came of age himself. This was the only time that Benjamin has been found in any
record.
This pretty much documents the VIRGINIA Callison family from James and
Isabel. The line of the thrice married James is found in the area that was to
become Greenbrier starting in 1771. This James left a will also naming his sons.
The only questionable son for him is a Jonathan who may have died about 1802
or so in TN but his will left no provisions for any descendants of Jonathan.
James left descendants in Greenbrier Co, VA (divided into Bath Co and Nicholas
Co) and Grainger Co., TN.
We do pick up a couple of other unknowns born in the 1790's and early 1800s,
William J. Callison born about 1797
Isaac Collison married Cynthia Robinson
Samuel Callison born about 1801 Virginia and then to Ohio

Hi all, I found something interesting in Greenbrier tax records. For those
of you who descend from William Callison and Marian Chapman. There were quite a
few Chapmans' in Greenbrier in the same district as the Callisons -- not
surprizing. Anyway in 1804, there is a tax listing for Marian Chapman with no
titheables who paid tax. Now this would be a female because all males had to
pay tax and the cases where the woman paid the tax was either 1/ She was a
widow or 2/ she was a spinster and responsible for paying this tax. It is
possible that Marian was a widow when she married William Callison OR that she was
the only child living with her father who died in 1803 and she became
responsible for paying the tax on his horses. Does William have any children listed
with him in 1810 who were overage for a marriage in 1804??? OK in 1810 William
and Marian have 3 males under the age of 10 and in 1820, there are 2 males
age 10-16 and 3 under the age of 10.
So I am wondering if there is any possibility that Marian was married and
had a child or two, became a widow and married William the same year. The only
sons that we can attribute to them are William and Absolom but James and his
brother Samuel fit in to some degree other than the fact that James was born
pre 1804 when Marian married Callison. Joyce -- what year was James born?
Just thinking out loud here but maybe James was actually a Chapman but
raised as a Callison. This will take some work but the Chapman's of Greenbrier
need some work to see why Marian was listed on the tax record.

John Callison sold 200 acres of land in Greenbrier Co., VA in 1786 but all
the land records that I found credited him with an original purchase of 250
acres -- then in 1789 he still paid tax on land. There were two sets of tax
books kept -- one for land and one for personal property or poll(head) tax.
Is there anyone on this list who has a list of buying and selling of land by
the Callisons in Greenbrier Co esp. for James Callison.

Hi all, I had a great trip hope -- planes were all on time and my luggage
made it home the same time that I did and now cogitating on these tax records
AGAIN.
The first thing that needs investigating further is our estimated birth
dates for Robert and James Jr, sons of James and Isabel.
We have James Jr. before 1750 and Robert about 1753 and have often wondered
why they got married so late in life
1783 Only James was titheable
1784 Only James was titheable
1785 James had two tithealbes -- a son turned 21 so born about 1764
1786 James in Augusta Co had two males older than 21 in his household
1787 names James (Isabel) and Robert as over age 21 and a male age 16 -21.
So -- Robert is older than James Jr and --- James Jr was not born until
1766-1771 time period. The fact that James Jr. did not marry until 1794 is not
surprizing now considering his age
Also Robert appears to be about 10 years younger than our approximate age
for him and explains why he did not marry until 1793
By 1788 the listing is James Sr., James Jr and Robert all over age 21 so
apparently James Jr was born about 1766 or so -- not pre 1750 as we have listed.
So based on the tax records -- Robert Callison was born about 1764 and James
Jr. about 1766
James Sr. died in 1789 and James Jr apparently went elsewhere until 1794
when he shows up again in tax records.
I would love any discussion about these birthdates from those of you who are
more knowledgeable on Robert and James. Also Mark, if you could put a little
blurb on the web page where James and Robert are listed -- just to help me
keep things straight.

Marilyn -
*Bastardy Act of 1733 provided a change in the responsibility for
illegitimate children:*
"In 1732-3, a woman pregnant with a bastard was required to declare the fact
and to name the father. In 1733, the putative father became responsible for
maintaining his illegitimate child; failing to do so could result in gaol.
The parish would then support the mother and child, until the father agreed
to do so, whereupon he would reimburse the parish - although this rarely
happened."
Also: "Any person after 24 June 1733 charged on oath with being the father
of a bastard child shall be apprehended and committed to gaol until he gives
security to indemnify the parish from expense".
Everything online seems to indicate that a base-born child was an
illegitimate child with base-born just being another term used. Some
sources indicate that base-born is opposite of being born to nobility or
heraldry, although I only found 2 or 3 references to this. Outright
definitions suggest that 'base' itself is a negative term for the lowest of
low persons so that being "base born" would be born of such a low person or,
as in some instances stated, born of a base slut. I thought that maybe the
difference was that with the base born the county was resposible for the
child while with the bastard child the father and mother eventually married
and were ultimately responsible. I could find no stated reference to this,
though. There was some discussion in a case in Virginia as to if a woman
gave birth to two sons by different men and one of the men eventually
married her, were both births legitimized or only the one. Interesting....
If I find more, I will send it on.
Rena
After-thought: maybe the child was base-born if the mother was "common" and
a bastard if she was more "high class". Or, maybe it depended on if both
the mother and named father were

Don't know exactly what you are looking for in Co Armagh, but we do have the
following:
In a list of leaseholders in 1738 includes the names, William, Luke,
Anthony, and Ann Callison.
There is a record of a quaker marriage for Anthony Callison and Abigail
Wethereld in Ballyhagan Meeting House on 30th April, 1734. Among the witnesses
were William and Luke Callison. Anthonys father is not named but his abode is
the same parish of Kilmore but in townland of Ballyloughan.
Other marriages are listed through 1773 Callisons being married to James
Haddock, John Shepherd John Mitton and John Hewet. I have dates etc for
these.if interested. I thought you had all this info, but again, these may not be
the type of records you are looking for.?
Anyway, we appreciate your research, hard work and
patience.
John

This is Robert Grace Callison, son of Thomas Miles Callison who was son of
Absalom Gillespie Callison. This goes back to Absalom Callison and Anne
Flack. RGC lived in Arizona so maybe the passport was for travel to
Mexico. I think he did business there.

Well, I gave it a good try but made ZILCH progress. The only info that I had to go on were the few records that early researchers had for marriages for two of the daughters of Anthony and Abigail. Really don't know how it was determined that they were the parents of the thrice married James -- other than that he named his first son Anthony. Many of the birth and marriage records dont' start until 1767. My GOAL was to find ANYONE with a surname of Callison in County Armagh. I looked at poll taxes, hearth taxes, muster rolls etc. NONE. I found ONE marriage in Mullaghbrack, Armagh between a Mary Callison and James MURROW on Feb. 6, 1769 so that was one good thing. Also found a?birth in 1866 of an Agnes Ann Callison, daughter of Thomas. Thomas also had a son James. Considering these dates were 100 years apart -- you would think that there may have been one or two more. The individual parishes have their own records so that is probably where I would need to be but not having any !
idea which of the many parishes -- it seemed pretty time consuming to start this late in the week. The only name close to Callison that I found was a James McCollison who had a daughter, Rachel born in 1778. So I am closing up shop for tonight and depending on how I do in Ireland tomorrow, I may or may not get any more US work done on this trip. Its been a good week. Take care. Marilyn
