Marilyn, My guess is the James Callison 1806 300 acres on Holsten River is the same as
James Callison Jr. in 1798 on 300 acres. The 1806 is just being more specific to location,
unless u can clearly see from the earlier tax record they are in different locations. Had
James Callison Jr. moved on from Grainger Co by that date? I'm thinking this is Jr.
from the thrice married James. The James Jr from John & Isabel had already returned or
moved on (I think). The James from William & James (? John) died in 1827?didn't go
to Grainger that we know of, right? Just writing off the top of my head; didn't look
into my old notes.
Glad u made some progress on Argabright & Overpeck. Always frustrated we couldn't
get more info from Orange Co. VA beginning records. I want a marriage of John & Isabel
& think there's a tie to Isaac Callison somehow. Which reminds me, he could have a
James also huh?? Have fun. more later ginger

Good morning group, I had some success yesterday in Orange and Montgomery co, VA
with my collateral lines of Overpeck and Argabright. Had only a little Callison
success.? The records are pretty good starting in Virginia and Kentucky but the
further west you go -- the more sketchy the early records. There are no
microfilms of tax records for Morgan Co. MO -- don't know if the county has them
and just not microfilmed or if they were lost by fire or otherwise. Wanted to
find William and Marian Chapman between 1820 in Ky and 1838 or so when he died
in Morgan Co.
Early Grainger Co tax records did not provide much either. I was looking for
JONATHAN Callison but no luck. All I found was
James Callison Jr in 1798 pd tax on 300 acres
James Callison Sr page tax in 1804 on 600 acres
James Callison page tax in 1806 on 300 acres on Holsten River
?When I get home, I need to look at my Greenbrier Records to see how many James
were listed in these years to try to identify them.
We know by 1798 that we have the thrice married James, and his son James. we
know that we have James Jr., son of James and Isabel, We know that we have James
who married in 1806 (William) and James who died in 1827 (? John). It is this
last James that I am trying to differentiate in tax records from James, son of
the thrice married James.
I am off to work on a different line this AM but maybe I can check Blount Co.,
AL tax records later today. Take care all, Marilyn
