Notes for John Boone Callaway
John Boone CALLAWAY was born on 24 Jul 1781 in Fayette County, Kentucky. He married Elizabeth CATON, daughter of Jesse CATON Sr. and Esther Sparks, on 22 Feb 1809 in Saint Charles County, Missouri. He died on 30 Jun 1823 in Saint Charles County, Missouri, at age 41. He moved to the St. Charles District of Missouri at age 18, in about 1799. He bought his father's original St. Charles grant when his father moved to Charette in 1811. At his wife's death when he was about age 30, he was left with three daughters and a son, all of whom were minors. Another son had died in infancy. Soon afterward he was appointed a justice of the county court in St. Charles County but died about two years later.

A History of the Pioneer Families of Missouri - Warren County
John B. Callaway was the eldest son of Flanders Callaway and Jemima Boone.* He was a fine scribe and an excellent business man, and was Justice of the Peace and Judge of the County Court for many years. A large proportion of the old legal papers of St. Charles County have the name of John B. Callaway attached to them as Justice of the Peace. He had a mill and a distillery on Femme Osage creek, and the water for the distillery was carried some distance in troughs, made by hollowing out poles, which were kept free of mud by crawfish, placed in the troughs for that purpose. Mr. Callaway died in 1825. His wife was Elizabeth Caton, and their children were Emaline, Verlenia, James, and Octavia. Emaline married Hayden Boone, a son of Squire Boone, who was a nephew of Daniel Boone. Verlenia married John Bryan, a son of Henry Bryan. James married Mary McKinney, daughter of Alexander McKinney. They live in Mexico, Mo., where Mr. Callaway, who is a capitalist, is engaged in the banking business. Octavia married Schuyler Rice, who was from New England.
