Absolum moved to Hancock, Ill from Ohio in 1840 His death on the trail is
recorded in John's Diary.His last name is recorded with various spellings.
Absolum would be a first cousin of Gilmore if Nancy is daughter of William
as we believe.
Absoluim's wife was pregnant at the time of his death. Her story, as told to
me by a descendant, is quite interesting involving a shipwreck, stranded on
island, swimming to shore, saving all her children etc. Her descendants live
in the Sacramento, Ca, area to this day.

I don't know if we have any Newenham lines on this list but thought I would
send my notes on this couple -- Shadrack Newenham and Nancy Callison. Nancy
is one of our people with unknown parents. These are the facts in case anyone
finds any dots to connect them all.
Shadrack was from Pennsylvania but listed in Bath Co., VA tax records for
1801 and 1802 for sure. I was not specifically looking for him so it's possible
that he was there other years but I did an overview of the years before and
after and did not find him. We know that he ended up in Ross Co area of Ohio
but I don't know if he was living in Gallia Co after Ohio. In 1806 Gallia
Co., he married Nancy Callison. Was he living there or just went there to marry
her.
In 1801/1802 Bath Co., VA -- John Callison Jr., Alexander and Elizabeth
Callison Morrison were all living there. John Callison Sr. was in Greenbrier Co.,
VA and William Callison was in Washington Co., OH (later to be Gallia Co.
OH). John Callison Jr. had married in 1789
Do any Newenham researchers have Shadrack listed in a tax record previous to
1801.
In 1806 Gallia Co., Ohio, William Callison was living there and James
Callison and Nancy Callison were both married in 1806 by the same minister.
The only census record that we have for Nancy is the 1850 census stating
that she was 61 years old and born in Virginia. The 1855 Illinois census has the
female of the household born 1785-1795.
Many/Most
Newenham researchers believe that Nancy is the illigitimate daughter of John
Callison who married Elizabeth Cutlip in 1791. Could be but no positive
vibes on my part for this. We know that Elizabeth had an illigitimate CHILD but
don't know the sex of the child but this child was born a little earlier than
Nancy

One child of Shadrack and Nancy was John. In 1833, Clark County, Ohio, he
married Ann ELLIOTT, the granddaughter of John Callison Jr. and the couple
appears to be living in Clark Co., in 1834
Estate sale of the goods and chattels of William AGER, deceased. Two of the
people listed were Thomas ELLIOTT and John NEWINGHAM. October 21, 1834 Clark
County, Ohio
Shadrack, Nancy and their family moved to Brown Co., ILLINOIS about 1835. I
have no clue why they moved there but that is where John and Martha Elliott
Newenham lived the rest of their lives. I don't know when John moved to Clark
Co but his father was in PIke Co. OH at the time of John's marriage. How did
John and Martha meet? or did they know each other all their lives because
they were cousins? So that is a Nancy Callison/John Callison Sr. Connection
through Martha Elliott.
BUT there is also a Nancy Callison/William Calliso
n connection.
John will have to fill us in on the particulars since I lost all of my
online notes <sigh> But it involves another child of Shadrack and Nancy Callison
Newenham -- Absolom, I think, was a member of the Callison wagon train (line
from William Callison, brother of John Sr.) so some knowledge of each other
could be presumed pretty accurately. John, please fill us in on this connection.
So was Nancy Callison a daughter of John Jr and Jane McClure, an
illigitimate daughter of Elizabeth Cutlip Callison, a daughter of John Sr. (would have
been born in the same time period of his grandchildren) or a daughter of
William and Agnes Callison?
I am not sure when the family line from William went to Illinois but if
previous to 1835 -- that may have been a reason for Shadrack and Nancy to go
there also. I think that both families had a connection to Schuyler County. This
couple used the names Absolom and also Joel (name of another grandson of
William) and the Callison trilogy (William, James and John) along with Charles
and Lorenzo. No Gillespie noted <smile>
Also keep in mind that in Pike Co., Ohio there were 3 other Callison lines
-- Alexander, Moses and Nancy Callison Boiler. and an apparent family group of
Samuel, Margaret and Elizabeth connected to a widowed female Callison. Don't
get me started on my suppositions on this family group. <smile> Might cause
some computers to self destruct. Let 's just say that if I could find some
descendants of a Samuel Cal
lison living in Kosciusko Co., IN in 1850 for DNA testing IT MIGHT PROVE
INTERESTING.
Take care all. Marilyn
