I'm interested in learning more about the McCallen family if you could put me in touch
with your family historians. I descend from Myra McCallen (1880-1956)whose parents were
probably Hays McCallen and Josephine Green Smith (Mrs. Robert Smith). Josephine was a
widow in 1872 with children when she married Hays McCallen 11 April 1874 in Harrison Co.
She died in childbirth in 1880 leaving all her children to be handed off to other
families, but I don't know what happened to her husband Hays, or even which one of the
several Hays McCallen's he might be. One of the Smith orphans was Anna Josephine
(Mrs. Clinton Martin), was Myra McCallen's half-sister. Anna's Smith siblings
were Robert E., Charles E, Cora A. and Nora Evaline according to Anna's obituary.
Anna was raised by Sarah and Thomas Hise after the death of her mother. Can you shed any
light on the Hays McCallen who was my ancestor?
