Donna thank you for your reply.
I don't think my James William Callaway fits this family though. From his Death
Certificate that I obtained online, which I admit could be wrong, his father is listed as
John Callaway. Note that I had the spelling as Calloway and from the Death Certificates of
James, Mattie, Christine, Lela and Wesley learned that the spelling should have been
Callaway. Also his Death Certificate lists his birthdate as 19MAY1869. With this info I
found a family on the 1880 TN census that seems to fit. Father J.H. Callaway b. 1829,
mother Nancy C. Callaway b. 1850 and siblings John L. b. 1864, Robert A. b. 1867, Isham H.
b. 1878 and Annie M. b. 1880.
If you are interested I have almost complete info on James William Callaway and Mattie L.
Smith and their children obtained through online Death Certificates, marriage licenses,
and an official Death Certificate for Lorena Annie Tompkins. Unfortunately this line seems
to have died out with the death of Lorena in 1975.
I appreciate your taking time to post a reply and any future info you may be able to
provide.
Gary L. Smith
