Hi there, hope you are having more luck than I in your research. Here is what I have
concerning your last query. Shadrack or Shadrick (spelling seems to always differ in
research) was still in Ashe Co. NC in 1850. My research shows Shadrack being born in Ashe
Co. NC sometime in 1814 and having being killed sometime late 1860's by Indians. I
do know that he did have several siblings and one of them was a brother named Thomas.
Shadrack's parents were Thomas Calloway III and Elizabeth Ray. Thomas III born 16 Mar
1777 in Wilkes Co. NC, died 24 July 1834 Ashe Co. NC. Shadrack's mother I have as
being Elizabeth Ray born 20 Sept 1782 in Wilkes Co. NC died 6 March 1867 in Ashe Co. NC.
At this exact moment I do not have when Shadrack himself married and settled down to a
Catherine Baker who was born 27 March 1820 in Crseston, Ashe Co. NC. Presumely she also
died in TX, have no concrete proof at the moment. In or around 1859 after the death of
her father (I saw the probate !
record on the web) Shadrack Calloway with his family and maybe some other Calloway family
members moved to TX around Fort Worth area. That's all for now, please keep in touch.
Maybe between both of us we will find out some new information. If easier send me e-mail
direct to my hotmail account. Bye for now---Dave
