isMarilyn,
I have some more questions that you probably already have answered but I did not catch.
I went back again and looked at those land records in Tenn. As I said, William Callsion
was the assignee of Oliver Smith. The entry date was 30 Sept 1785 and the grant date was
20 Dec 1791. This would be way too early for the William who married Marian Chapman. The
land was in Davidson Co. on both sides of the Pine River. Grant #2840 for 640 acres. I had
just looked for Callison before so this time I looked for Oliver Smith.
James Callison got land in Knox Co., 640 acres, 28 Feb 1779.
James Callison was later in Rhea County and was the security for James and Thomas
Mitchell. Didn't a Callison girl marry a Mitchell?
I found Elizabeth Callison in the 1810 census of Grainger Co., Tenn. Whose widow is she?
The census reads 0 1 1 - 0 1 0 0 1
This means she had two young males and a young girl at that time. She appears to have
died by 1813 as John Clark returns a list of Elizabeth Callison taxable property for 1813,
210 acres of land.
Also in Grainger Co. I found Samuel Callison to Elly Morgan, Dec. 22, 1809
John Keller to Polly Callison, Dec 20, 1809
James Callison to Elizabeth Young, July 17, 1800 - was this the above mentioned
Elizabeth?
John Callison, Sr. BM
John Gillmore to Lucinda Callison, Oct 17, 1832 I guess this is too late to have
anything to do with Gilmore Callsion.
James Gillmore BM
Alfred Roach to Jane McDaniel, Aug 28, 1833
John Callison, BM
John Callison to Nancy Grove, Sept 11, 1836
James McFarland, BM
Have these all been accounted for? I am sure that they have. Samuel Callison from
Grainger Co. was named Samuel, and my Samuel is the only other one I know of besides the
two
Samuel's sons. Is there any connection?
I am going to start looking for a Callison male who is descended from Samuel to do the
DNA test. I hope we have better luck than we just had on our Hood line. As they say, he
ain't a Hood! Matches a couple of other guys but completely different from any known
Hoods. I sort of suspected as much.

Rena, I am 99.9% positive that this is the same William who married Marian
Chapman that I talk about so much.
1802 - 1804 William Callison (married Chapman)shows up for the first time on
Greenbrier Tax records -- obviously independent in 1802 -- owned 3 horses.
Kept the 3 horses in Virginia but only had 2 when first listed in KY. So where
did he come from in 1802
William married Marian Chapman 1804 Greenbrier Co., VA
Tax list 1805-1808 Lincoln Co., KY -- William (Married Chapman) no extra
tithables
1810 census Casey Co (out of Lincoln Co) Ky
William had 3 males under the age of 10 and an extra male of his same age
group -- 18-26 and 1 female 18-26. William probably born about 1784 .
Also in KY at this time was
Absolom -- Garrard Co.,
Joseph Lincoln Co
1820 Census Lincoln Co., KY
William (married Chapman) 3 males under the age of 10, two males age 10-16,
1 male age 26-45, 1 female age 26-45
We only KNOW of two sons of William -- William and Absolom -- the family
went to Morgan Co. MO
1830 Kentucky
Robert Callison, son of James and Isabella is in Todd Co -- he was in
Christian Co in 1820
Joseph and his 3 sons, Gilmore, William and John are in Adair Co
Absolom is still in Garrard and
Hiram shows up in Madison Co.
From this group, we know that Joseph and Hiram have DNA matches but
unknown
how they are related
I have not found William in this census. Morgan Co., MO was not formed from
Cooper Co until 1833
1840 census Morgan Co., MO -- William (who married Chapman) is not found --
two apparent sons
William and Absolom both age 20-30 and William with an older female age
60-70. all living next door to each other.
1850 we find William with date of birth about 1814 Kentucky in Morgan Co.,
MO and in a different twp. we find Absolom born about 1818 Kentucky.
