Good morning Reba, I am not as up to date on this line of Callisons as some others but am
sending your note to the Callison mail list to see if someone can help. To the best of my
knowledge -- James Callison married to Mary Callison-- was not involved in the Rev. War--
because he was Quaker. However, he may have contributed provisions and would be considered
a patriot and eligible for DAR. I don't know if anyone has claimed linage to him for
DAR. We do have DAR documentation for another James Callison (the father of Mary who
married your James). DNA proves that the two James are closely related but not the
relationship, I suspect Uncle and Nephew. Your James Callison left a will in Grainger Co.
TN in 1808 naming his children. I don't know that there is any documentation
confirming Jesse as the father of James and I have no knowledge of David Young's will.
You may want to investigate the lineage from Mary Callison (wife of your James) and
PRESUMED daughter of the James who has a DAR number. That James named a daughter, Mary, in
his will and the tombstone of Elisha Callison (another son of your James) in the cemetery
in Greenbrier Co., (now WV) has son of James and Mary Callison Callison. That is the only
proof for this relationship <sigh>
Callison group can anyone help Reba-- please keep me posted. Take care. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,
0A
Do you know where I can find out more information about Jesse Callison. I am trying to
verify lineage for a potential Daughters of the American Revolution applicant and need
documentation to connect the lineage between James Callison b. 8 Jan 1810 (married to
Louisiana Johnson), Jesse Callison b. 1777 (married to Mary Young) and James Callison b.
abt 1739 ( married to Mary Elizabeth Callison).
I believe Mary Young’s father, his name is possibly David Young, left a will that mentions
Mary and her husband, Jesse Callison. Do you know if an original copy exists or only a
transcript. Because the DAR will only accept an original copy I would prefer to have that
but might be able to use a transcribed copy if it has been verified as an exact copy of
the original. Do you know where I could find these documents?
Also, are there any books, records or anything to prove that Jesse was the son of James
and Mary Elizabeth Callison and the father of James Callison (married to Louisiana
Johnson)? I have a 1850 census that shows Jesse Callison living with James and Louisiana
Callison, however, this census does not show the relationship between the two men. I have
looked everywhere I can think of for documentation to prove these relationships and have
been unable to find the proof I need for her application.
I belong to a small chapter of the DAR in Queen Creek, AZ and I am not a paid researcher.
I help woman with their research so that they ca
n prove their lineage to a patriot in the Revolutionary War.
Thanks for any help you can give to us.

This is kind of off the subject but I finally heard from Laramie Callison and he said he
had received the DNA test kit and was going to submit it. I was beginning to wonder if he
had died! Hopefully we can get a family for the line of Samuel C. Callison of Texas. I am
keeping my fingers crossed!
