Jenkins-Terry-Gregory-Green Oklahoma & McSwain-Dumond Ark:Information about Callie D McSwain
Callie D McSwain (b. Dec 1879, d. 1964)
Notes for Callie D McSwain:
Bertie Lois McSwain spelled the name of one sister of Wiley Carew McSwain as "Kelly" in a letter to her daughter Edith and and son-in-law Orville Jenkins in 1977, giving some family information.She also pronounced it that way in a conversation with them in 1980, in which she provided extensive family information orally.
But her daughter Edith says she always heard it pronounced by her father's family as Callie.This is the spelling she remembers.Bertie's sons George and Frank also reported they had only heard Bertie pronounce the name as Callie.(There is only a slight difference in the vowel of the two names.)
Middle initial and birth date from Bobby Butler research.
Two censuses, however, have different middle initials.
In 1880 she is reported as Callie with no middle initial
In 1900 she is reported as Callie D
In 1910 she is reported as Callie L
In 1920 she is reported as Callie B
Her gravestone has no middle initial or name.
In 1880, she is listed only as Infant McSwain.She is listed as 1 year old, for a census date of 1 June 1880.But the birth date known by the family is December 1879, so Callie would not have actually been one until December.She was only 6 months old at this census.
