Joseph Callaway Jr. and Catherine Ann Browning - Ancestors of Thomas Howard Callaway and Callaway Campbell

Joseph Callaway, Jr., married Catherine Ann Browning
about 1709, (of) Essex, Virginia, British Colonial America

Above is just a quick reference to the couple, as entered on Family Search.

Below is web page linked, which is attached to Joseph Callaway, Jr., as a source:

A. D. Gedge pages on Rootsweb:

Callaway and Langhorne, etc. Rootsweb Page with Joseph Callaway Lineage
https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~adgedge/genealogy/ourresearch/aqwn68.htm#3448

Page was cited by researcher, Alice Gedge.

Of interest in this lineage:

Capt. Thomas Callaway (mentioned only, in a source, as brother of Col. William Callaway, son of Callaway and Browning).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Some descendants, per research of others: 

Currently attached in online family trees (wiki, with sourcing in progress) 
not mentioned in Gedge page, but could be correct: 

Captain Thomas S. Callaway (b. 1712 Essex Co., VA; died 1800, Jefferson, Ash Co., NC) is currently attached in the Callaway - Browning family group, as a son.
     His wife is currently shown as Sarah Baker (marriage, 1735, Brunswick County, Virginia).

Next, currently added to the family group of Thomas S. Callaway and Sarah Baker, as a son (needs further research): 

Thomas Callaway (1753-1819) + Jude Ann Farrar (m. 1768, Bedford, Virginia);

Next, currently added to the family group of Thomas Callaway + Jude Ann Farrar, as a son (needs further research):   

Joseph Callaway (14 April 1779 – 28 October 1832)  + Nancy Howard 
  Marriage: 24 Feb 1807, Wilkes County, North Carolina, United States

Joseph and Nancy, above, are currently entered as the parents of Nancy Elvira Callaway, Thomas Howard Callaway, Lucinda Frances Callaway, and Rebecca Callaway. There may be others.

Nancy Elvira Callaway married Charles C. Campbell and was the mother of Callaway Campbell, long-time resident of Murray County, Georgia. Thomas Howard Callaway, Nancy's brother, was president of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. He moved from Monroe County, Tennessee, to Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, briefly lived in Murray County, Georgia (where he helped his nephew, Callaway, start a farm), and then moved up to Polk County, Tennessee. His sister, Lucinda Frances Callaway, was the first wife of Dr. Pleasant John Graves Lea, of Tennessee, mentioned in the Myra Inman diary and in the Charles Campbell papers. P.J.G. Lea was killed in Missouri by marauders during the Civil War. The other sister, Rebecca,  married a Donaho, and later, a Lea.

This is a quick clip from various sources. I have researched some of it personally – mainly Thomas H. Callaway and siblings. I cannot verify everything as entered in the tree, but the families appear in several old family histories – I pulled selected data and the link to the Rootsweb page to keep it as a reference..

Obituary of Thomas H. Calloway (Thomas H. Callaway), Sweetwater Enterprise, 1870 (via TNGenWeb)


Obituary of Thomas H. Calloway


(Alternate Surname Spelling: Callaway)
Sept. 1, 1870, |Sweetwater Enterprise|, Sweetwater, Monroe Co., Tenn.

Death of President Calloway---This estimable Christian gentleman and valued citizen breathed his last at half past two o'clock Monday morning at White Cliff Springs in this county. His many friends had been for some time prepared for the sad event, although they hoped to the last that kind and skillful attention might prolong his life for several years. Colonel Calloway was born in Knox County on the 15th day of January, 1812. About the year 1821 he removed with his father, Joseph Calloway, to this county. In 1838, having been appointed one of the surveyors of the Ocoee District, he removed to Cleveland. Shortly after this he married a daughter of Hon. Luke Lea, then Entry Taker of the Ocoee District. On the 5th of February, 1852, he was elected President of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, but resigned in September, 1853. On the 25th of July, 1865, he was re-elected to the same position, and on the 27th of November, 1868, he was elected President of the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. On the 29th of November, 1869, the East Tennessee and Georgia and East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad Companies having been consolidated, he wa elected the first President of the consolidated companies, and was holding this position at the time of his death.
Colonel Calloway was an active and consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and in all the relations of life set a bright example to those who would win respect and love. We know of no other man in East Tennessee whose loss would be so generally and sincerely deplored.
His remains were taken to Cleveland on Tuesday and buried with Masonic honors. The number in attendance at the funeral was very large, comprising delegations from along the line of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad.

My own additional research note: Thomas H. Calloway or Thomas H. Callaway, was president of East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad before and after the Civil War. He resigned during the War, when the Confederacy took over the railroad company. Callaway, a very wealthy man even by today's standards, lived in, and was strongly associated with these counties in Tennessee: Bradley County, Monroe County, Polk County. He also briefly lived in, and owned property in, northern Murray County, Georgia.
