Callison Family Genealogy Forum
  
I found a tree of a cousin like showing Daora married Guy Callison yet a letter from her in later years says she is going to visit her coyusin Guy Callison, how many Guy Callisons were in Montgomery/Calloway/St Louis counties in Missouri?
I understand some of these Start- Callison lines are published in a book called History of Stuart family on pages 62 & 63 and I checked the Library of Congress site for the publication and can't find it. The Callison line I am interested in descend from Jacob Warwick Stuart and Mary Ann Huffman. Somewhere in the Huffman line is a genetic form of lung cancer. 3 generations plus 2 siblings besides myself in my family have been afflicted with it and several women in this Callison/Stuart/ Huffman line have also succomb to it.The last Callison that I know of was Joyce Callison who died either in Wellsville Missouri or Wisconsin last May. Our families have worked with the genetic researchers who are looking into the hereditary feature of lung cancer. Our blood samples have revealed a gene for it but the researchers do not know when or if they will ever have a solution for this or even a specific test for future generations. I've never met these Missouri kin some of whom are first cousin to my grandfather who was the first in my line to died from the cancer in 1971.My mom died from it in 1986, a sister in 1988 another had it and beat itin 1990 and I was diagnosed in Nov 2001. Part of the reason I took up family research was to find out where this horrible disease came from. After having 18 tumors spread to my brain, I don't research as well as I used to although I still have the passion/addiction for it. I thank you in advance for any info you can pass along for this Callison line.

Eileen Colgan
