Biography
John was the son of Richard Callaway and Elizabeth Jones Callaway.[1] Like his sisters, Elizabeth and Frances, Jack was also captured by Indians, with his half-brother James Hoy, about two years after the death of his father. The two boys were not returned as quickly as Jack's sisters, and were not seen again for many years.[2]
One source gives 9 Feb 1796 as their marriage date. Another source says that legend is that he died young and unmarried about and does not mention a wife. He is thought to have migrated from Bedford County, Virginia to Kentucky soon after the same emigration by brother Flanders.[3]
Research Notes
A parent should not have been born more than 170 years before one of their children died. This would mean that even if the parent gave birth at 70, the child lived to be over 100.
A parent's death date should not be more than 120 years before one of their children died. This would mean the child lived to be over 120. True: Which parent or child is this referring to?
John was born in 1775. He passed away in 1825.
