Parents: James R. Nolan, Nancy B. Odum
Birth: About 1868
Marriage: July 1, 1888 to James Henry Thompson. Callie was about 20 and James Henry was 21. They had three children: James Oren, Lillie Belle and Susie Ella
Death: Around 1898
I didn't find many records for Callie A, so her story will be short, unfortunately. Her mother was probably Nancy Odum and not Susan Chapman, James R's second wife and the woman who raised Callie. Nancy married Callie's father in December of 1866, and Callie was born around 1868. In the 1910 census, James R and Susan are listed as being married for 38 years (if that number is accurate, that would put their marriage around 1872) and that Susan was the mother of 5 children, all living. We know that Callie had passed on before the 1900 census was taken, so since all of Susan's children were living, Callie had to be Nancy Odum's daughter, and her younger sister Viola was most likely Nancy's daughter as well.
In 1880, Callie was 12 and lived in Clayton County, Georgia, just south of Atlanta. Her father was a farmer. She married James Henry Thompson in Coweta (pronounced Cow-ee-ta) county, two counties to the east of Clayton county, where her family was then living. Her first child (James Oren Thompson, Sr.) was born in Newnan county in 1892, so we know that she and James Henry lived there for at least a little while after they married.
When Grandma Izzy became interested in family history work, she asked her father (J.O. Thompson) about her grandmother. He did not know the exact date that she passed away, but said that he was eight years old when his mother died.
