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.
