Re: Information on my grandfather Hugh McCallum

Grangeburn — 2009-11-03 23:53:12Z

Hi Robert,

Many thanks for the speedy and detailed reply.

I have a Dougald McCallum who married Mary McKechnie at Soroba, Oban in 1856. He was thereafter only ever know as John, he was a tailor and according to his marriage and death certificate his father was Dougald a shoemaker (on birth cert) and Mariner on death certificate. Nothing else is know of his father, he is not to be found on any census from 1841 upwards. John was, according to 1861, 71, 81 and 91 census, born in Oban.
His mother, Ann Livingston, was born in Kilbride, of Lismore parents, she died in Oban in 1866, no mention of a husband!

John's wife, Mary McKechnie, was born at Assapol - Ardtun area and after reading the excellent "Tea With Chrissie" by Rosalind Jones, about the McGillivray family from Burg on the island of Mull, (couldn't put it down) where I read about Chrissie's McCallum ancestors from the Ross of Mull, I've kind of had it in my head that my McCallums may have originated there too.
Perhaps Mary McKechnie knew this branch of the Ardtun McCallums when she came to the mainland.

As for the name Hugh! John and Mary had 4 sons, none of them were Hugh. In my great-grandmother's birthday book (a daughter of John and Mary)she has the name "Hugh McCallum" beside the date July 12th, but she didn't put the year.

On the 1871 census for John and Mary's household there is a "Betsy McCallum aged 21" who is a visitor. She has with her, her illegitimate son Duncan aged 2 months. She later marries the child's father and on her marriage certificate her parents are Hugh McCallum, tailor and Mary McGregor. The old parish records has a marriage for these two in Kilmore and Kilbride 1830.

I think John and Hugh could have been brothers but Hugh and Catherine are not to be found after 1851, nor any of their children apart from Betsy (Elizabeth). My theory is that the whole family went to Australia or America but Betsy, the eldest, stayed behind.
When John McCallum died in 1898 his obituary in the Oban Times said "American and Australian papers please copy".

So that's as far as I can go with my McCallums,
Thanks again for the super reply and if you get a chance, read "Tea with Chrissie", the author says that Chrissie's great-grandmother (I think) wrote the tune that we know as "Morning Has Broken", the air is called "Bunessan". This lady was a McCallum from Ardtun.

McCallums - Get your DNA tested!!!

mccollum211 — 2009-10-11 22:32:39Z

Have you been at a brick wall with your genealogy?

GET YOUR DNA TESTED!

For those who don't know, there is already a MacCallum/Malcolm Surname DNA project (which inludes ALL spelling variations, yes, yours too).

Here is the direct website to the project, itself:
http://www.ourfamilyorigins.com/maccallum/dna.htm

By doing a simple Internet search you can find many different companies which will do DNA testing for you. Do some research and decide which is best for you. I used www.familytreedna.com. Many study projects allow you to contribute your test results to a study regardless of what company you choose.

The more McCollums that get tested, the better. The more peole are tested the more groups and relations we begin to see taking shape within the MacCallum/Malcolm branch of the global family tree.

Instead of asking the same tired questions on the message boards or reading through the tangled mass of unverified "facts" confusing everyone on the typical genealogy sites, GET YOUR DNA TESTED. It's more worthwhile and will help everyone else at the same time.

James, John L., Neill, Neill A., Wm. B., Alexr. & Barnabas

mccollum211 — 2009-10-11 21:28:06Z

Searching for any information on the group of McCallum men (surname spelling irrelevant) listed on the 1836 Early Tax List for Giles County, TN.

Alexr. is listed in district 11 with 80 acres.
Barnabas is listed in district 16 with 84 acres.
James is listed in district 9 with 242 acres & 2 slaves.
John L. is listed in district 9 with 184 acres & 7 slaves.
Neill is listed in district 9 with 374 acres & 2 slaves.
Neill A. is listed in district 9 with 219 acres & 1 slave.
Wm. B. is listed in district 9.

Most of these men are back in the Giles County census for 1840 but none but Barnabas McCollum can be found on the 1850 census.

Here are some sources relating to Neil and Alexander that a fellow McCollum researcher (John Green) shared with me:

1. "Early TN Marriages, Vol. I, Grooms" shows that Neil McCollum married Eliza Neil of Lincoln County 9/14/1847.
2. Neil McCollum was executor of the will of W. B. D. Shelton 8/15/1849.
3. "Early Court Records of Lincoln County TN" show A. J. McCollum and his wife Mary Ann received their share of the estate of Joshua Gibson on 11/27/1853.
4. Lincoln County Cemetery records showed Alexander J., wife Mary Ann, son William and daughter Annie were buried in the Buchanan - McCollum Cemetery.

I would love to hear from anyone who has information on any of the individuals mentioned above, especially Neill, Neill A. and Alexander McCollum/McCallum/McCollom/McCullum.

McCollum - Richardson DNA connection

mccollum211 — 2009-10-11 21:02:25Z

Hello fellow McCallum (all variants) descendents:

I have recently tested my DNA and found an identical match with a Richarson. I am looking for any possible connections between both McCollum (again, spelling does not matter) and Richardson men and women. My McCollum line came from NC to Giles/Lincoln/Marshall Co., TN to Delta Co., TX. The most likely place for a non-paternal event (NPE) to have taken place as far as we can tell is Delta County, TX. Would appreciate any tips or leads you might be able to share.

Re: John McCallum

EmersonMcCallum — 2009-09-29 21:38:58Z

Hi Folks, besides the John McCallum who married Sarah Aldrich there were a number of John McCallums who lived in the Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada area. There was a John McCallum born 1819 in County Antrim, Ireland who married Sarah Seeley. A John B. McCallum, son of Duncan McCallum and Catherine Bellin, born in McNab Twp, who married Margaret Wallace. A John McCallum, born 1774 Perth, Scotland who married Janet Fisher and the list goes on and on. There were also some McCallums living around Perth, Lanark, Ontario.

Re: McCallums of NC

stewartjk85 — 2009-09-23 04:08:01Z

Hello,
Pardon the late reply but I am wondering if anyone on this thread is still researching Edward McCallum. If so I would like to hear if you have any new info beyond that listed here. I believe that Edward is my 5th grandfather. My info has him born abt 1756 in Argyllshire,Scotland and died abt 1804 in NC, possible Robeson Co. I don't know when he came to America. Edward was the father of Hugh McCallum (my 4th gfather), b. abt 1775, Robeson Co, NC d. after 1860 in Georgia, possible Butts Co. I am trying to confirm if Edward is indeed the father of Hugh and any other useful info as well. Thanks, Jerry stewartjk@juno.com

McCallums +York North Ontario Canada

manningme — 2009-08-30 01:01:06Z

Duncan McCallum married Chistina McDonald (b. 1815 or so) in Scotland.
They came to Canada in about 1840 (to Ontario I am thinking).
Their son Murdock McCallum (b. Nov. 23, 1851 in King Township York Ontario) married Margaret Matheson (b. 1857 in Ontario) in 1888 in Wellington Co. Ontaro). Murdock and Margaret had 4 children: Janet (1889), Christina (1892),
Margaret (1893) and Duncan (1895).
Christina married James Harry Rylance in 1922 and Duncan married Isobel Forbes Manson in Wentworth Ont. Duncan was a Doctor in Churchill Ontario I believe.
Any further information would be appreciated. Margaret Matheson is my great grandmother's sister.
Thanks

James McCallum, son of Charles McCallum

James McCallum, born 1860/61 "Scotland" married Agnes Ann Butler 1889, Melton, Woodbridge, Suffolk, 4 children etc. Father of James was Charles McCallum, "engine driver". Does anyone recognise these names? How can I find out more about Charles McCallum from such limited information?!

Re: Alexander (Wallace) McCallum

sallybone44 — 2009-04-25 13:51:15Z

I know it is some years since you posted this message but Alexander was a brother to my great grandmother Elizabeth who went to NZ - I am part of the NZ line. His parents were Samuel (1807Scotland - ? South Africa). His mother was Elizabeth Smith -(Scotland 1805, died 29 Dec 1859) They were married 30 JUne 1828. I guess you have all this info by now but I am interested in his wife as in his letter which our family still have, he speaks of her as "Grace" Perhaps you can throw some light on this ???
Thanks - Sally Bone

Re: Alexander Wallace McCallum

sallybone44 — 2009-04-25 13:34:35Z

Alexander Wallace McCallum was a brother of my great grandmother, Elizabeth. The names of their parents were
Samuel born Scotland 1807 who married Elizabeth Smith (born 1805, died 29 December 1828) 30 June 1828. I see it is some years since you posted this message so you may already have this information.
My query with Alexander is the name of his wife who appears to be Christina Heintz however he speaks of her as "Grace" in old letters our family still have. Maybe you can throw light on this. My relations are the NZ McCallums. Sally Bone

Re: John Newton McCallum

ste11a1 — 2009-08-03 15:21:18Z

I have just found this message. My great great grandfather was Newton Treen Hicks McAllum born in India in 1844. In the 1861 Scotland census he was at school in Edinburgh.
In 1864 he married Ellen Annie Tait (d 1880); they had 2 children Leonora (dob unknown) and Newton Treen Goldsmith McAllum born Feb 1872. Newton snr married an Amelia Elizabeth Hall in 1872, She died in 1878 and he died in 1881 in the Lambeth Infirmary. He was a Lieutenant in the Madras army.

Is any of this familiar? I am clutching at straws with the surname I know!

Thanks.

NEWTON MCALLUM

ste11a1 — 2009-05-06 15:52:16Z

Newton McAllum was the name my grandmother used as her father on her marriage certificate in 1916, although that was untrue; I believe he was her grandfather. I have found a Newton McAllum born 'East Indies' in the 1861 Scotland Census. I have a death certificate for him dated 1881; he died in the Lambeth Infirmary. Also 2 marriage certificates, one dated 14 Dec 1864 tO Ellen Ann Tait (d 1880) and the other dated 13 Aug 1872 to Amelia Elizabeth Hall. They both have his father as Donald McAllum, Surgeon. Newton's full name was Newton Treen Hicks McAllum. He had a son by his first wife, Newton Treen Goldsmith McAllum born 14 Feb 1872.

Ellen Ann Tait had 2 sisters who appeared in 1891 and 1901 censuses with my grandmother and her sister and brother. I believe my great grandmother was called Leonora McAllum,(I found her on 1881 census at school in Margate, she was born in India) although on all the birth certificates of her children she calls herself Nelly Frances Strange McAllum.

I would appreciate any information on this Newton McAllum.

Thank you.

Neil McCallum born in October 1870, Margaret McCallum born in 1869, both in Ontario annd they had three daughters, Maud, Bessie and Mabel.

I'm curious to know if the son to Mary Patterson McCallum and Neil McCallum also named Neil was born in October of 1870.

My great-grandfather was Neil McCallum born in Ontario in October 1870 and married a Margaret (have no idea what her maiden name was). They appear in the 1901 Census in Vancouver, BC and had three daughters Maud, Bessie and Mabel.

My father's mother was Mabel E. McCallum and she died when he was quite young and he has very little information about her family. She died in Vancouver January 3, 1941 (tho my father recalls it was 1940) She had married William Ewart Shippobotham February 1931 and had two children: John Peter and Margaret Patricia. I would be interested in anyone who has run across her family. Thanks.

Thanks Christine, I guess I can eliminate that particular Neil from my branch... and yes, there do seem to be quite a few Neils. All part of the fun I guess.

I appreciate your prompt reply.

Cheers!
