Frances CALLAWAY's male line can be traced back four generations. The earliest Callaway ancestor is Joseph CALLAWAY, Sr. Click here to go to the page for his descendants down to Frances's generation.
A couple of female ancestors have been identified, but their lines have not been traced yet.
In the chart below, a person's father has a number that is twice the child's number and a person's mother has a number that is one number higher than the child's father's number. Thus the father of number 8 is number 16 and the mother of number 8 is number 17.
First Generation
1. Frances ('Fanna') CALLAWAY was born on 29 Feb 1792 in Buncombe County, North Carolina.1,2,3 She died on 20 Sep 1840 in Washington County, Texas, at age 48.4,5,6 She was buried in Washington County, Texas.7

3. Juda Ann _____14 was born circa 1756 in Virginia.15 She died on 21 Feb 1823 in Knox County, Tennessee. 16,17 Her original surname is uncertain. It has been speculated that it may have been Farrar, Saunders (or Sanders), or Shadrack.17a Those names seem to have first appeared in the Callaway family after her marriage to Thomas Callaway, and the use of Farrar as her second son's middle name (and at least one grandchild's middle name) lends some weight to the thought that she was a Farrar. Some believe her name was Moffit.17b
