General Notes: "Kegley's Virginia Frontier" page 112

1746: The CALLAWAY brothers, Francis, Richard, Thomas and William, sons of Joseph Callaway of Caroline County, were closely identified with Old Lunenburg and Bedford Counties. It is said that they came to this section in 1740 and were the first men who cleared land and raised corn on the Otter River. They appear in the land records of 1747. Francis Callaway had 224 acres on the lower side of Buffalo Crrek, Richard 244 acres near by. There followed many important surveys in both Albemarle and Lunenburg counties - John Chiswell, 2460 acres on south branch of Rockfish River; Leonard Ballew 2472 acres on south side of Fluvanna (James River); Col. John Henry, 2224 acres on the east side of Tye River; WILLIAM WALTON, 1020 acres on Walton's Fork of Slate River. (etc).
Born in Caroline County, VA, Richard Callaway lived on a farm there in boyhood. He was still quite young when h is parents and his brother, Joseph, died of a fever within six weeks of one another. The family continued thereafter at the home farm until al the children were grown and some of them married, when, in order to have more land for their use, they sold out and moved to the then undeveloped regions of Bedford County, VA.
