John H. was born in Bourbon County, Ky., February 22,1806, his mother's maiden name being Frankie Hawkins. When about four years old he came with his father to what is now Washington County, Ind., which he has always considered his home. He was reared in the backwoods to hard work and industry, and such has been his life's occupation, gaining, thereby the old Callaway homestead and other lands, amounting in all to over 500 acres. For the past few years he has retired from active work, and resides with two nephews who manage his large farm. Mr. Callaway is one of the well known men of the county, is enterprising, thorough going, and a democrat. Transcribed by: Diana Flynn Date: 12 Sep 1997
