Thanks for the info. It sure seems that Joseph would most likely be
Lorahama's father. The exact date of William and Lorahama's marriage is
October 27, 1831. I have a copy of the page in the marriage registry for
Allen Co. Also her name has been variously spelled as Lorahama, Laurahama,
or Lorahanna, so I'd don't know which is correct. The marriage registry is
hard to read. It could be Lourahama, Laurahama, Lourahanna, or Laurahama.
Take your pick. :-)
If you're interested, here's a quote from "History of LaPorte, Co., Indiana
1880." <quote> William Callison, one of the earlier settlers of this
county, was born July 9, 1808, in Greenbrier Co., Va. He came with his
parents, James and Isabella, to Mercer County, Ohio, in 1820; in 1826 he
went with them to Ft. Wayne, Ind.; in 1829 to Elkhart County, and in 1834 he
came to LaPorte County with his wife and 2 children and a yoke of oxen which
was all the property he owned. Thus he began in life and by untiring energy
and perseverance acquired means to live in retirement the remainder of his
days. On Aug. 2, 1842 he was seriously hurt in a threshing machine
accident, which severed one leg 6 inches below the knee. On Oct., 28, 1830
he m. Loruhanna Crow.....they had 13 children--7 living: James W., Benjamin
J., Charles L., John L., Johnson L., Joseph M., William L, Mrs. Callison
died June 19, 1879. <unquote
According to "Abstracts of LaPorte Co., Ind., Wills, 1844-1871: William's
father, James' will was dated 29 Sept. 1853 (?). Probated 3 May 1860.
Heirs: Wife, Isabel; sons: Wm., Joseph M., Jacob, James; daughters:
Isabel Bather (?), Elizabeth Crumpty (?), Nancy Jessup, Margaret Pratt, and
Sarah Callison. Children to receive "one dollar each."

Subject: [CALLISON] Callison/Crow
Lorahana Crow married William Callison 1831 Allen Co., IN
1830 census Allen Co., IN
Right next to each other
James Kellison, age 50-60 with older female and 3 younger males plus 4
younger females
Joseph Crow age 40-50 with females age (2) age 0-5, (1) age 5-10, (1) age
10-15, (1) age 15-20, (1) age 20-30 and (1) age 30-40
I guess this is our James Callison and Isabel Jones Callison and it's a
good
bet that Joseph is the father of Lorahana
Take care. Marilyn
