Anna Lee Duncan (1863-1922)

Anna Lee Callis

ANNA LEE DUNCAN was born on 9 May 1863 in Murfreesboro, Rutherford County, TN. She is the daughter of Patrick Lafayette Duncan and Judith Ann Hall.

Anna Lee married John Hamilton Callis in 1882 and they were the parents of the following children: twin girls, Dora Ann Callis and Cora Ann Callis, Clark Cleveland Callis, William Claude Callis, Ethel Callis, Arnold Callis and Orville Niles Callis.

In the 1900 census John and Annie said they had been married 18 years and all 5 of their children were still living. By the 1910 census, John and Anna said that they had been married 27 years and 5 of their 8 children were still living. If that statement is correct then there is still one child left to be found.

According to census records, John was a farmer.

Anna died on 18 March 1922 at the age of 58 in Bentonville, Benton County, AR. She is buried in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Hiwasee, Benton County, AR.

In 1924, many of the Miller/Callis family ventured to move to California and her husband John was among the group.
