The Callaways
Under Construction
This is about Mary Ann Callaway's parents
James and Naomi Callaway.
Mary Ann was born in Georgia on Dec 5 1833.
Her father was James A. Callaway (born in Georgia in 1802) and her mother was Naomi Callaway (born in Georgia about 1806).
According to the 1880 census Naomi was born in Georgia and was 4 years younger than James.
Also note that the Callaways moved to texas in 1870 with their daughter Naomi, her husband William and grandchildren (Noah Richard, John Walton, and Thomas B. Turner).
It was said that James headed the expedition from Alabama to Texas.
My father Ary Turner always maintained that Naomi was full blood indian (I think Cherokee from the location).
James and Naomi are buried in Ebenezer cemetery just off HW 37 between Quitman and Winnsoboro in Wood County Texas.
