I am trying to work on a laptop that I have learned to absolutely hate. I had a whole long good message for this post and it totally disappeared. If it appears, that is the reason it is not complete. I will try again.

My desktop went down and my emails are gone along with some data I had just received.

The person who responeded to this message emailed me. I looked for the person and found this post. I think that we all have the same family.

My Elias Kelly Callahan was born 13 Jun 1853 in Iron Co according to his son in law. He married Nancy Conway Walker 3 Dec 1871. John Walker was her son by a former marriage.

I found a Callahan family in Iron Co in 1860 with a child about Elias' age, but the unreadable name looks like Rhea.

There are one or two Callahans in St Francois Co about that time.

There are some Elias Callahan's in Ohio, but I do not think that they are mine.

Because of the name of Kelly, I thought that he might have come from Crawford Co, but the Kelly's there say no.

Take a look at the children of Elias and Nancy:

Jane Jemima Callahan 10 Sep 1872 [born 9 mo after marri]
Missing children????
Mary Cristell Callahan Mar 1880 [married Jim Vance]
Missing children???
Ida Minnie Callahan 27 Feb 1882
Missing children??
William Arthur Callahan 6 Nov 1887
Missing children??

The oldest child was called Jennie, Mina, etc. The Mary was named after Nancy's sister and mother.

The William comes from Nancy's older brother. Do not know what happened to him.

One of the St Francois families has the mother named something like Jennie. That is the missing info on dead computer. I do not remember the father's name. Have not had time to look up the data on census.

The next responder says that a Nancy wrote to her relative about relatives in Mo and Ca. I think that that is my Nancy. That person has not responded to me yet.

So please look at my data. I may have more info than I show here. I know what happened to Jane as she is my grandmother. I know what happened to Ida. I know some about Arthur, as he was known. Cristell married a Jim Vance and had a baby. There was an aunt Margie Vance, as there is a picture in my mother's album. My mother thought that she had died at eighteen or very young.

Again please look this over.
