Hi Alicia,
Sorry about my late reply to your Callaway Family inquiry.
I think I have a little info on your Elijah and Mary Cutbirth Calloway folks---- I need to
go back and check my material.
My family line of Callaways came from Bedford England and settled in Bedford Co. VA. My
line is thru Job (Jobe) Callaway from NC. Jobe's father was a John Callaway who
married a Bethany Arnold. John's father was Edward who m. Elizabeth ?
Edward's father was John who married Mary Gould and John's
father was a Peter who married Elizabeth Johnson. There is still some confusion as to
whether our direct line is of the Joseph and/or the Francis Callaway lines. I think both
of these lines came from VA to NC to the area of Washington
(Wilkes Co.) GA. Our direct ancestor was thru Jobe and William Benjamin Callaway who
settled around Montgomery,
AL before moving north about 40 miles to the Weogufk(Coosa
Co.) AL area. William Benjamin Callaway and Polly Ann Melton had 20 children. Josiah
Callaway was my great-grand-
father and my grandmother was Missouri Iltiny "Sissy"
Callaway and married to David Lonnie Smith, Jr of Weogufka.
My Smith--Lindsey families came from NC to TN to north AL and eventually to Coosa Co. AL.
Some of the information I have on the Callaway Family is printed in an old 1953 edition
of "The Callaway Baptist Preachers 1789--1953" published by the Fuller E.
Callaway Foundation of LaGrange, GA. (Troupe
County)----- The Callaway Family Association Archives are
located in the Troupe County Library there.
If any of this information is of interest to you please send me your e-mail and
mailing address. I am a recent new member of the CFA and I have lots of contacts with
some other CallOways in addition to my CallAways. My name is

I would love to trade info with you.
