With regard to our discussion about the Carwile book,
the correct title is.
A history of the Callaham and Carwile families
by Callahan, Anna Deihls. (Delmar Publishers, 1976)
(Delmar was located in Charlotte, NC at the time)
There are two copies in the genealogy section of the
Main Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County
310 North Tryon Street
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 336-2725
But since the copies are in the genealogy section, copies will not circulate
through Interlibrary Loan
There is one copy in the Abbeville County (South Carolina) Library System
201 S. Main Street
Abbeville, South Carolina
864-459-4009.
Call number 929.2C
They too will not release the book, but their volunteers will copy pages for
anyone
interested. The e-mail address is
genealogy(a)abbevillecounty.org
The description of the book is as follows:
493 p., [26] leaves of plates : ill. ; 29 cm.
publication date was 1976
The address of the author is given as follows:
Anna Deihls Callahan
2237 Colony Road,
Charlotte, NC 28209
I found no listing on Colony Road in
anywho.com
(but it was almost thirty years ago that she was listed as living there)
In a previous e-mail I made reference to Higginson Books, Salem,
Massachusetts.
They do publish reprints and pay a royalty to the author or her/his estate
and
Higginson does work with libraries to secure a copy of a book and submits
two
hard bound copies of the reprint in return. Therefore, Mrs. Callahan's
children can give permission of Higginson to reprint, assuming she is no
longer with us
if one of her children can be located.
So if someone lives in or near Charlotte and want to knock on the door of
2237 Colony
Road, it is remotely possible that a descendant might still be in the house
or could
give some idea of either Mrs. Callahan or her descendants.
At least you know where library copies are available
You might also try a query on Callaham/Callahan on
ancestry.com
Sincerely,
Philip Sonnichsen
