NOTES ON CALLOWAY & BECCA: Calloway's parents had moved from Lauderdale County Ms. in the fall of 1849 to Upshur County Tx. where they were enumerated in the 1850 census. Not long after Calloway's birth his parents moved the family back to Lauderdale County,Ms. for the next few years. By 1857 the family had returned to Tx. & this time settled in Titus County (in the part that eventually became Franklin County) where they were enumerated in the 1860 census.
About 1869 Calloway married a widow,Mrs. Rebeca (Becca) Starnes Graham. Becca was at least 12 years older than Calloway & had at least 4 children by her marriage to her 1st husband William Graham. In the 1860 census of Titus County,Tx. William Graham was enumerated with Becca & their children John A. b. ca.1857 & Joseph D. b. ca.1858. Rebecca Starnes,a widow,apparently Becca's mother was also living in the household.
