Does anyone have any pictures of the children of Elisha Callison. Tay has
found a picture of her ancestor -- Margaret Rebecca Callison -- who I feel so
strongly is the same Margaret Rebecca Callison, daughter of Elisha. I have the
picture of Tay's ancestor and would love to compare it with any children of
Elisha's to see if any resemblance.
Tay sent the following notes about her Margaret
This is an excerpt from a letter I just got today from my Gr Aunt Olga who
was the daughter of Wm Henry Aston and the granddaughter of Charles Samuel Aston
and Margaret Rebecca Callison. Generally, she was a fairly accurate
historian and she would have known her grandmother, Margaret Rebecca Callison. What I
think is interesting, and it has shown up in previous censuses where we KNOW
it was our Margaret, is that the name has been interchangeably used between
Margaret and Rebecca. There are more than a few instances where Charles is
living with "Rebecca Aston". Even though the dates are still messed up, this is
interesting in light of the fact that Elisha's daughter was documented as
Rebecca!
Pat, are you back online. Do you have any thoughts on this Margaret Rebecca
Callison born Virginia with a son named the same name as Elisha's last child. I
know you had some reservations about this but not sure what they were at the
time. There is NO info on Margaret, the child of Elisha, even though the death
and marriage of all but one of his other children is well documented.
Take care all
Marilyn
