Biography
Joseph T. Callahan was born about 1781 and died in 1851, probably in November.
Joseph Callahan was listed in the 1850 census of Yancey Co. NC as 69 years old and born in North Carolina. There has been speculation from several genealogists that Joseph was either the son of Joel Callahan of Greenville, SC (1754-1847) or a son of Henry Callahan of Rutherford Co. NC (1754-1830). To date, however, no connection to either family has been proven. [1]
Joseph married first Unknown Chandler, the daughter of John Chandler. Joseph is mentioned in his will. John Chandler. She died before 1825, so Joseph was an heir.[2] Elizabeth, in the 1850 Yancey census, was a later wife.
Joseph married second Elizabeth Eliza Unknown (1787–1850). They had the following children:[3]
- Callahan 1804–
- John H Callahan 1806–1880

Basically, that leaves Henry Callahan, died 1830 Rutherford Co., NC. But, a diagnosis of exhaustion is not proof.
Joseph was married twice: First _____ Chandler, who died before 1825; second Elizabeth after 1830. he married Miss Chandler ( a daughter of John Chandler) before 1806.
Joel has two known children: John( who is a new John!!) and Catherine, who md Robert Compton.
I have to prove the others. Joseph's Chandler wife was not named Elizabeth. Elizabeth, daughter of John Chandler, was not married in 1850.
Disposal of the land of john Chandler, deceased. he bought said land in 1806. Joseph Callahan married a daughter of John Chandler. She died before 1825, so Joseph was an heir. Elizabeth, in the 1850 Yancey census, was a later wife. Seeking additional children. Seeking his parents.
