OK We seem to have two different Johns in Dallas County.
1850 we have 18 year old John born Illinois, living with his parents Moses
and Catherine
and we have 9 year old John born TN, apparently living with his siblings
Elizabeth, Jesse and Jasper in the Ruben Richardson household. My GUESS on this
John is that he is in someway connected with the thrice married James since he
went to TN from Virginia but there were others also. From the Poynter mail
list it seems that this John is the same one who married Eliza Poynter.
Eliza Poynter John Callison 5 Nov 1867 Dallas
Mark, I think it best to just take that Eliza Poynter out of the picture for
John, son of Moses until we get more info. We definitely have two John's in
Dallas Co.
I think we talked about him before and thought possibly that these may have
been grandchildren of Ruben Richardson but nothing to confirm this. Two of the
Callison children were born in TN 1838 and 1841 and then to Missouri before
1844 when the next child was born.
So the Callison listed in TN in 1840 were
James Callison Grainger, Tennessee
James Callison Knox, Tennessee
John Callison Grainger, Tennessee
Samuel Callison Grainger, Tennessee
Wm Callison Campbell, Tennessee
Need to check to see if any of these had a female child under the age of 5
in 1840
In the Grainger Co Callisons -- James, John and Samuel -- only John has a
daughter of that age (and no other children which would fit in well)
The Knox County, Callison has a female of that age but also a male under 5
and one 5-10
All of these are the line of the thrice married James Callison if I remember
correctly
The Campbell Co Callison only has a male under age 5
This would be the John, son of Samuel, grandson of the thrice married James
Callison. At least he was married previous to 1838 when the oldest of the
Dallas Co Missouri children was born.
51. John5 Callison (Samuel4, James3, Anthony2, <Unknown>1) was born 1811 in
Greenbrier Co., VA. He married Nancy Grove Abt. 01 Sep 1836. She was born 26
May 1817 in Grainger Co., TN.
Notes for John Callison:
or was he born in Grainger Co., TN?
Child of John Callison and Nancy Grove is:
+ 224 i. Martha6 Callison.
This was from our Callison website which has children of Martha Callison.
Need to see if John and Nancy are in 1850 census. Well that leaves them out,
John, Nancy and Martha are listed in 1850 Grainger Co so that blows that theory.
So the bottom line is that I have absolutely NO IDEA who John, Elizaeth,
Jesse and Jasper belonged to. I do know that Jesse was used in the line of the
Thrice married James but no other clues. Have fun. Marilyn
