Nancy and Joseph married 1804 in Bath Co., VA . Online file has her date of birth as Jan.
15, 1786 Pocahontas Co., WV ( Should be Greenbrier to Bath to Pocahontas area-- the county
lines changed). She died in 1841 Pike Co., OH. Her husband served in the same company with
Moses in the War of 1812.
The will for Joseph's father certainly names some of the familiar names in the early
Callison family. Reuben Slavens was somehow connected with Alexander -- and also with the
Kellison family from Bath Co, VA to Pike Co., OH. The ripples just keep getting bigger
don't they?
