Margaret Rebecca Callison is the ancestor of Tay Aston (taybird) on this
list. We have been back and forth literally FOR YEARS trying to put Margaret
Rebecca Callison into a family group. Actually even thought of some maternal DNA
testing with some other maternal lines but unfortunately, Margaret Callison
Aston only had sons so that is out and since she is female the male testing line
is out.
I am very comfortable with the idea that she is the same Margaret Rebecca
Callison as the daughter of Elisha and Margaret Bright Callison, son of James and
Mary Callison Callison.
They are both known as Margaret Rebecca, she is in the right age group, born
in Virginia and named her son, William Henry Callison (the same name as the
last child of Elisha who died in 1861). Additionally she was married about the
same time as Sally Callison,(daughter of Elisha) and in the same county --
Montgomery Co., VA
Not sure how much more info we can get before carving this into granite. Tay
has a picture of her Margaret Rebecca Callison Aston. The family was in AL and
TN after their marriage.
If anyone can play the devils' advocate on this, please just jump right in
and disprove these thoughts. Take care. Marilyn
