I goofed. The other Callison family was that of James Callison, and he was
in Callaway County. I do a lot of research in that county as well because
they are somewhat close to each other and I have two families who
intermarried.
Robert Flack, son of Absalom, lists Kentucky as his birthplace, but on the
1880 census, the census taker failed to record the places of birth of the
parents of most individuals. Yuck!!
However a Callison biography was published for DeWitt County, IL, that
states that Absalom was of Greenbriar Co. and a wheelwright. I think I am
recalling this correctly, but I do not have my file in front of me.
Ann Flack, Absalom's wife, gives Kentucky as her birthplace (1787) and they
were married in 1804 - presumably in Kentucky, but I have never found a
marriage record.

Rena, I don't have info on another Callison family in St. Charles Co but
if
you can find who they were, I might can track them down.
In later years, you can find two Callison families interspersed in
Sedgewick
Co., KS that is probably just coincidence -- one line from Hiram and one
line from John and Jane McClure -- about 100 years after John went to Ohio
and
Hiram went to KY.
We have Moses and Alexander in the same county in Ohio
We have Absolom and Joseph in the same county in KY
Any other Callisons living in the same area that your Callison families
were
living?
Seems like Daviess Co., MO had lines from the thrice married James and
also
from Moses -- cousins.
ALL the Callisons in Clark Co., OH were descendants of John and Jane
McClure
Callison -- made research pretty easy. They probably ended up in Clark Co
because John's cousin -- John Morris, son of Richard and Jane Callison
Morris,
was already there. Wish all of the migration was that easy to figure out.
Take care. Marilyn
