Well, I would like to think we are getting somewhere, but where I am not
sure???
Well I for one, am getting deeper and deeper in confusion. So to try to keep
my mind straight -- a near impossible task-- will Joyce, Jim, Mary and all
help me make a list of the Texans
John Gillespie Callison, thought to be son of James and Ann Gillespie
Callison, married a widow, Margaret Reneau, in Blount Co., Alabama, in 1826.
He is listed with one male under the age of 5 in the 1830 Blount Co., Alabama
census along with older children who were probabaly Margarets. He was born
1790-1800.
He does not seem to have come to Texas before 1838, when he filed for land,
Has anyone looked at this land deed to see where he was living at the time of
the purchase? When was the land sold
A John G. Callison got land in Blount Co., Ala in 1837 and 1843
Does anyone have info on him for 1840 census
Does anyone have info on him for 1850 census?
In the 1860 census, Karnes Co., TX, there is a John G. Callison (? same John
G.) was born in Ky ca 1797. Living with him is Sarah Dickey, 29, born
Arkansas, M.A. Callison, 7, female, born Texas, and Wm. Dickey, born Texas. This
John had no land in this census. George W. Callison and Sarah Ann Hackett were
married July, 1851, in Villamont Twp., Ark.
Sarah Callison married N. Dickey in Tyler Co., Tx 1854
Does anyone have any other info on John Gillespie Callison?/
Are these the same John G. Callison's?? I would think that if so, then George
W. was the son of John and Margaret and after he died/divorced, then his wife
went to live with his parents. He matches the age for male in the 1830 census
for John G in Blount Co., Alabama
