Marilyn,
You've found most of what I have. And I don't have much. I can add this,
although I don't have a copy of the actual pages:

pg.13,1826 Tax List, Dublin Twp., Mercer Co., Ohio, James Collison
I don't have a copy of this either, but you might be interested:

Subject: [CALLISON] James Callison -- VA to OH to IN
Don't know why I got on this kick -- oh yes, I do. I did a google
book
search for CALLISON and OHIO and came across the history of LaPorte Co.,
IN with the Callison write up on William Callison, son of James and
Isabel. I noticed that it stated the family was in Mercer Co., OH in 1820.
A little history.
1801 we have William, son of James and Isabel and (assumed to be) this
James in Washington Co., OH
1806 we have William in Gallia Co., OH (taken out of Washington Co) paid
tax and James Callison married Isabel Jones
No 1810 census for Ohio
By 1820 James and Isabel are in Mercer Co., Ohio and William is in KY with
two sons -- Joseph and Robert
IN 1820, he had two sons age 10-16 (born 1804-1810 so supposedly born
1806 -1810 after his marriage and then the next 5 children were all girls
born after 1810
I did not find James in 1830 -- does anyone have him in 1830-- according
to the history he was in Elkhart Co IN at that time
Then in 1840 the family had made their permanent home in LaPorte Co., IN
where we find
William Callison age 20-30 (1810 - 1820)
James Sr. age 60-70 (1770-1780) In 1820 he was over age 45 (before 1775)
so his birth should be 1770-1774 or so.
James Jr. age? 30-40 (1800 - 1810) which makes James Jr the first born of
the family (according to this census)
James Sr had two males listed with him who were born after the 1820 census
( one born 1820-1825 and one born 1825-1830)? (Jacob and Joseph) There was
only one daugher left in the household from the 5 little girls in the 1820
census. Surely do wish I could find him in 1830.
Suzanne probably has all of this info but I'll just forge ahead
1850 census has James, SR. living with Benjamin and Sarah Hogan (Sarah
born 1819 Ohio so probably one of the 5 girls in 1820) Also in the
household was Jacob A. Callison age 21 born Indiana (1829)
Also on the same page is Maria Callison, age 20, born Ohio (1830) and 2
year old Harriett Callison living in the household of Enos Booth. Our
Callison page has Maria Booth married to Joseph Callison -- was he
deceased by now?
Indiana marriage records show that
William married Lorahanna Crow 1831 Allen Co., IN
Nancy married James Jessup 1838 La Porte Co., IN
James married Polyna Phillips 1838 La Porte Co., IN
Joseph married Maria Booth 1847 La Porte Co., IN
Margaret KELLISON married John Pratt 1838 La Porte Co., IN
We have James Sr and Isabelle
now with children James Jr., William, Jacob A, Joseph, Nancy and Sarah
per census records and marriage
records
Then in Kingsbury Cemetery in La Porte Co. we find
