OK, jumping in...
Benjamin Callison is listed in the Callison Bible as being killed at the
Battle of Maumee on May 5, 1813, when he was 24 years old. This would make
him born about 1789.
Robert Callison is listed in the Callison Bible as being killed at the
Battle of Maumee on May 5, 1813, when he was 27 years old. This would make
him born about 1786.
After Dudley surrendered, all of the men were rounded up and put in what is
referred to as the "slaughter pen". They were murdered by the Indians.
Both were brothers of Absalom Callison, who born (per the Bible) in 1777.
The service records are in the name of Kellerson for both of them.
The other two who are possible sisters are Susannah Callison who married
William Flack in 1797 in Lincoln Co., KY, and the other who was there and
married - just can't think of her name off-hand. It was her husband who
named Absalom Callison as a brother-in-law.
Just recently I have found the information that Susannah Callison above was
born in 1766 or 1768. If these were siblings, it would have made the range
for births from 1766 to 1789 (counting only the 4 ) which would leave room
for others certainly.

What do we know about the Callison boys who were killed at the Battle of
Maumee River during war of 1812?
Rena, this is your field of expertise. Just jump right in. I know their
names were Robert and Benjamin and were sibling of Absolom -- all from a
Bible
record. Any war records?
Was the Battle of Maumee -- Fallen Timbers-- that took place in 1794 the
battle where Robert and Benjamin were killed.
I was thinking it was during the War of 1812 but can't find any reference
to
it in that war. Probably not looking right. Anyway, if it was 1794 -- they
would have been born about 1774 - 1778 time period which fits in with the
age
of Absolom. And if 1794 time period -- what state did they enlist from?
Benjamin in Augusta Co obviously born about 1790 time period
HELP. Take care. Marilyn
