I am not an expert on the McCallisters but I believe James the son of Richard d ca1825 and MargaretNickel McCallister is the James on the 1830 census of Cabel Co. On the 1840 census there is a Olivia McCallister and Malcolm McCallister next door. Olivia is identified as Miss, probably never married. James is with Malcolm and in 1850 James and Olivia are in the same household beside Malcolm.
James is probably the 60-70 male with Malcolm on the 1840 census. James named Olivia as a daughter, and Malcolm as a son in his will in 1855 Cabel. The land James sells to Malcolm is some of the estate of Richard and Margaret.
Therefore I beleiev this eliminates this James as the father of any of the unknown McCallister children.
Per earlier statements there seems to be another James, John, and Joseph in Kanawha Co If they are related to the others, and I suspect they are they would almost certainly be children of James and John, brothers of Richard. We know John named a son James. If James is still in Allegheny Co when John died 1824 that would almost mean these are the children of James and Hanna. This could be that Joseph m Elizabeth Grass, Mary m Benjamin Johnson, Nancy m Martin Buzzard, John m Sally, James m Margaret and children of James and Hanna.
This is just for discussion. Anyone have comments?
