Margaret McAllister 1 female age 70-79
Margaret and Richard did have a daughter Mary, but she married John Harmon(estate documents).
They also had a son named James b. abt. 1782. He married Nancy McCown in 1812. His 1854 will named two children Malcolm and Olivia.
If you are sure that your Mary was the daughter of a James and Margaret McCallister, you might want to look at the James McCallister who was also on the 1840 census in Kanawha Co.

James and Joseph were not the sons of Richard and Margaret McCallister. I think they were nephews, perhaps the sons of Richard's brother James.
There is a fair amount of information about Joseph -- not all of it accurate -- but virtually nothing about James. Judging from census information, James was born 1774-1780. He was married and had children. I am exploring the possibility that he was the father of some of the McCallisters in the area who were clearly not from the family of Richard McCallister or Joseph McCallister.
Another possibility is that your Mary Ann McCallister was a much younger sibling for James and Joseph. I believe their father was James Jr. of Bath Co. He had at least two daughters born between 1801 and 1810. I think he died before 1820 and some of his younger children may have joined relatives in Kanawha Co.
When and where did your Mary Ann McCallister Cyrus marry?
