Thanks to all of you for the help you gave on the Texas Callisons. I typed a long message
to you and then failed to "send"!! I went back to check if I had really done
that ,guess what, it was gone and I was so tired I just let it go until now. Samuel C.
Callison is the most exaspirating man I have ever tried to find information on. His
eldest son James Crockett had Samuel born in Tenn. Samuel jr. has him born in Kentucky.
Also census has Alabama. James, there was a n Staton in Blount ,Al. that was half owner
of land with John D. Callison. I forgot to say Samuel jr. was spelled Kellison on the 1880
Census in Texas. Now, the Ship San Felipe that Samuel and James were on was in New
Orleans sailing to Texas. New Orleans, La.1829-1850 Passenger and Immigration Lists.

born in 1813. OK on to John. John C. Dec.22, 1845 age 37 M P.O.D. Aransas Bay. USA
ship Wm. Bryan. This seems to be trips they were taking because Samuel was in Texas in
1833 or 34. He fought in the Seige of Bexar.I dont know about this James as I cant
remember the date James H. was killed in Refugio by the Mexicans. This James and Samuel
are listed as from the same family but this John has a different family number. Thank you
again , I am so grateful for any information I can get. If there is anything that I might
do for any of you let me know. Mary
