Callaway Family Association

Includes two publications: "The Callaway Journal," vol. xxxi, 2006; and "Descendants of Joseph and Peter Callaway" prepared by The Callaway Family Association, Inc., October 2000. Both of these publications trace the descendants of Joseph and Peter Callaway, who originally settled in Essex Count, Virginia and Somerset County, Maryland, respectively. Eventually the family moved west and inhabited parts of Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia. "Descendants of Joseph and Peter Callaway" lists descendants from the late seventeenth century through the eighteenth century. The Journal focuses on present Callaway descendants, including obituaries, annual meeting minutes, and birth and marriage notices, but also includes a genealogical section with selections from various historic documents and a section on DNA analysis.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
