Hi Beverly and listers,
Yes, I connect right into your son-in-law's line.
My 5th GG was Daniel Boone Cutbirth's sister Mary CUTBIRTH, daughter of
Benjamin CUTBIRTH and Elizabeth WILLCOCKSON. Mary married
Elijah CALLOWAY (more about him below). Elizabeth was a daughter of John
WILLCOCKSON and Sarah BOONE, Daniel's oldest sister.
Mary's and Daniel Boone Cutbirth's father Benjamin CUTBIRTH, a close
friend and fellow long-hunter of Daniel BOONE, was the first pioneer to
reach the Mississippi River from the East. The book King's Mountain and
Its Heroes documents the feisty resistance of Charlotte's mother Mary
Cutbirth, then a young girl, and of the whole Cutbirth family when
British officers abusively invaded their home
<

of the Revolution. I have posted a long excerpt from that book on my
family website here:
http://stipak.com/willcockson/elijah/bios/1.htm#P3910AK
Don't stop reading until you get to the CUTBIRTH part!!
Mary CUTBIRTH named one of her son's Benjamin Cleveland CALLOWAY after
the Colonel Cleveland in this historical story. [Note: There exists some
confusion among family researchers about whether this son Benjamin's
middle name was "Cleveland" or "Cutbirth" (after his grandfather
Benjamin CUTBIRTH). Wulfeck cites the bible of his father
Elijah CALLOWAY giving his name as "Benjamin Cleveland Calloway," a
strong argument for that middle name.]
My cousins and I have been gradually posting the important book
"Wilcoxson and Allied Families (Willcockson, Wilcoxen, Wilcox)," by
Dorothy Ford Wulfeck on my family website at:
Wilcoxson Book home page:
http://stipak.com/willcockson/WulfeckBook/WulfeckBook.htm
So far the book has been posted from the title page through page 44,
PLUS I have just posted all of the scanned PHOTOS and other
illustrations from the whole book.
My 4GG Mary CUTBIRTH married Hon. Elijah CALLOWAY, who served in the
North Carolina General Assembly 1813-1824, first as Ashe County
representative and then as state senator. Their daughter
Charlotte CALLOWAY married her first cousin once removed
Elijah WILLCOCKSON/Willcoxen; I have built a growing website for them at:
http://stipak.com/willcockson/elijah/ElijahWillcockson.htm
One interesting old photo that you all might want to see is of
Mary CUTBIRTH's grandson Major Elijah Calloway WILLCOXEN and his wife
Prudence (nee PUTMAN) WILLCOXEN, posted at:
http://stipak.com/willcockson/elijah/bios/8.htm
If anyone has other photos and/or bios, obits, stories, etc. regarding
any of these lines, please share! I am posting as much as I can on my
ad-free website to help all members of our extended CUTBIRTH /
WILLCOCKSON / CALLOWAY families. If I get enough help from some of you I
will start a website dedicated to the descendants of Benjamin CUTBIRTH
and Elizabeth WILLCOCKSON, too!
Each year we learn more about these wonderful families of ours, see more
pictures, hear more stories, and better understand how they lived and
how, through their grace, we came to be. Let's keep our motivation high
as we work to bring the memories and long-lost cousins together again!
Yours,
Alice
a living memory of Sarah Boone, Elizabeth Willcockson, Mary Cutbirth,
Charlotte Calloway,
and many other unforgettable early Americans
