WILLIAM R. Callison and his son, John S. Callison were both listed as
Veteran's in the 1890 Veteran's census for Tennessee serving in Co. I 6th
Regiment.
William was a sergeant and John was a private. I'll have to check to see if
there were any pension records for them. Anyway, at least it adds the info that
W. R. was actually William R so the name William was used in this presumed
family of Robert.
So possibly
1 James Jr and Anne
2. Robert and Sidney
3. William R.
3. Lewis
3. George W.
3. Richard
3. Mariah
2. James and Sarah
Who are their children named in the will. Jim, do you have the actual
wording of the will?
2. John Gillespie
2. Margaret
2. Elender
Doesn't help us with Samuel but tell me again when he was born. Does he fit
into one of those missing sons of Robert or he is too old. Is this John the
same one that was in Alabama and if so, Joyce thinks it possible that he is a
brother to Samuel, if I understand all of the emails.
Take care all
