| CALLENDER,
Alexander Denny |
b. abt.1755;
d. 1818/19 |
He either preceeded the
New Jersey Settlers to Jefferson County in 1772 or came with them. The
following information is documented : Census - Tax Rolls : 1) The Territorial
Papers of the U.S. The Territory of Mississippi 1798-1817. Vol. 5,
Washington.DPO. 1937-38.PP114 Appears the name of Alexander Callender.(2.
Real & Personal tax Rolls (treeitorial) Jrefferson Co., Msyears of
1803 and 1805, listed
Alexander Callender.3). Secretatry of State, MississippiTerritorial & State Census, Records for Jefferson Co., Ms. lists Alexander Callender 1805.Graveyard-Church: Elders of the first Presbyterian Church organized.(1803)ALexander Callender gave the land and it was called "Callender's Meeting House". On the Southern bank of Cole's Creek, in sight of the road from Port Gibson to Natchez, in a cluster of beautiful trees, now lost to decay, but the graveyard is preserved with stones engraved with precious names which are doubtless written in the Book of Life. Natchez Court Records 1767-1805. May Wilson McBee, Page 392. Copy in file . Land Claim: Book B. Claim # 459. Certificate A-245, May 25, 1805. I could go on and on but it seems no one doing the work on this site has ever heard of him . He is the beginning of all Callenders in Mississippi through his children. He married Mary Coleman, Daughter of Jeramiah & Hannah Coleman, aslo waas Grandaughter of Samual Swayze. Why this information on the man has not been made public in beyond my mind. He is quoted any many articles as being a witness or executor to various wills.Their children were Alexander D. Callender, Jr.; Stephen L. Callender; Lydia Callender; Ester Callender; Ephraim Callender; Charity Callender; He was buried in West Feliciana, LA. |
