About Elizabeth Calloway
https://books.google.com/books?id=E9EeCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA129&lpg=PA129&d...
Birth: unknown Virginia, USA Death: Dec. 13, 1813 Winchester Clark County Kentucky, USA
I believe Elizabeth Jones was born around 1720, although most references say 1730 to 1733. She was first married to John Hoy, and by this marriage, had two children, John Booker, and William Hoy. After the death of her first husband, she married Colonel Richard Callaway of Bedford Virginia. Elizabeth and Richard Callaway, had three children, Keziah, Richard Jr., and John Callaway. The family moved to Boonesborough, Kentucky, that Richard helped to establish, along side the famous Daniel Boone. Elizabeth's husband petitioned the Commonwealth to build the first Ferry Crossing in Kentucky at Boonesborough. It was approved and after building the Ferry, and while working on the Ferry boats, Richard was attacked by the Indians, and brutally murdered, scalped, and burned.
Elizabeth lost Richard on March 8, 1780, and lived as a widow for 33 years, when she died living with her daughter Keziah, who married Judge James French. Keziah's daughter Theodosia French married Dr. John Wills Hood, and they were the parents of John Bell Hood, the famous Confederate General.
