James S. McCALLUM was born on 11 Jan 1865 in Prescott ? , MI
His mother's last name was SHARP / SHARPE who married a McCOLLUM
But the name was carried over in the children as McCALLUM
I was told that his mother was from Ireland. She was from the part they
called the Orange Section.
How do I find out if she married McCOLLUM in Ireland and came over or if she
came over with her parents and met McCOLLUM and married in MI.?
I can't seem to find my g grandfather James S. McCOLLUM / McCALLUM who was
married to my g grandmother Daisy Mae BROWN.
There children were: James Murry McCALLUM, Mary Ellen McCALLUM who was
married to a Kenneth HARTLERODE and she died young in a car crash leaving
behind one young son, Phillip and my g grandmother raised him and adopted him
when she was married again later on, Anges May McCALLUM, Frances Louise
McCALLUM, Margurerite Lucille McCALLUM who died in infancy.
Another twist in this family is after my g grandfather died, Daisy moved to
Indiana I believe at this time and married a Nathan Oliver SMITH. I don't
think they met and married in Michigan. I was told by my grandmother that
Nathan adopted only her changing the last name to SMITH. I was also told by
the son of Mary Ellen who died and Dasiy raised that Nathan adopted all the
children and changed the last name to SMITH.
So back then would there a court record of this or not?
Can I get one if there is? That is if I can find out if Daisy and Nathan
were in MI. Or IN. My guess is IN. around Hammond maybe
I have no marriage date for Daisy and James either. James S. McCOLLUM /
McCALLUM died on 13 Dec 1918 leaving my g grandmother widowed.
Can anyone help?
God Bless
