Dear Sir:
I most certainly appreciate the information given me in your letter of December 18th.  Will you please refer to this letter and tell me whether the name of William Callaway born in 1786 was omitted from the list of children of James and Susan Callaway.  The record I have shows that this man was a son of James and Susan White Callaway and that he married Mildred Eubanks who was born in 1785 and died Sept. 7, 1843.
Does your records show any trace of a Revolution-“ary soldier by name of Eubanks who received a pension while residing in Howard County, Missouri.  His name may have been Acchillas or Killias Eubanks. The information I have on Achillias Eubanks Sr. is that he was born in 1785 and died in 1844, he was married in 1837 to Nancy Wear.
If you can give me any information on this Eubanks soldier I will greatly appreciate it?
Yours truly,
