Biography

SAMUEL McCALL FAMILY

Samuel McCall, born ca. 1766, was a wagon-maker by trade. In 1803, Samuel moved to Cedar Rock (in Pisgah National Forest) with his wife, Eleanor. Samuel is recorded in the 1804 Walton County census. The 1810, 1820, and 1830 census show Samuel and family were living in old Buncombe County.

By 1840, Samuel and his family were living in Horse Cove near the Cashiers/Highlands area where they settled close to Robert McCall, believed to be a nephew. Samuel left behind three sons: Robert, John, and Samuel, Jr. These sons received large land grants in Gloucester Township in the upper end of the county. Robert acquired property from Thomas Brackins in Shoal Creek in 1827, and John acquired property on the Upper French Broad in 1835. Much of the land is now a part of the National Forest system.

In the early 1840s, Samuel s daughters, Jane and Nancy, married two Pickelsimer brothers, Wilson and Benson (respectively), from Pickelsimer Fields next to Cedar Rock. Wilson and Jane later moved to the Little River community, establishing the Transylvania branch of the Pickelsimer family. Benson and Nancy remained in Macon County.

The 1850 census of Macon County shows an aged Samuel and Eleanor living with son Johnston in Horse Cove under Chestnut (now Whiteside) Mountain. A Bill of Sale written by Samuel on August 6, 1856, to Johnston, proven in open court and recorded in September session of 1856, and registered November 21, 1856, in Macon County, suggests that Samuel had recently died. By 1860, Johnston had acquired land in the Clear Creek community. He and his mother, Eleanor, are shown to be living there in the 1860 census. By then his brother George, and his family, had also acquired nearby land and moved there from Rabun County, Georgia.

These records appear to be for a different person (to be moved to a new profile once it exists) born of Robert McCall:

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Samuel by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Samuel:

I think this is probably "McColl." Many of my McCormick and Carmichael families are buried in the Stewartsville Cemetery in Richmond Co. (later Scotland County), North Carolina. This cemetery also has many "McColls" listed......most of the early settlers who were buried in this cemetery were from Appin, Argyllshire, Scotland, and many came on the Jupiter of Larne. But I don't recall any "McColes" buried in there, so it makes more sense that "McCole" is actually "McColl."
