Also aboard the ship Jupiter on the same voyage was the family of Duncan McCall:

 

       "McCall, Duncan           35

                      Christian          35

                      Doughald        20

Mrs. Miller wrote of the above families:

 

                                               "Markham, Texas

                                                July 9, 1968

Dear Mrs. Drennan,

 

My McCall line begins in Scotland.  They appear to have lived on the Island of Lis­more, a part of Appin [district in Argyll] which is 10® miles long by two miles wide and lies in Loch Linnhe near the Appin shore.  It appears that they were one of about 18 families associated with the Stewart Clan in Appin.

 

Appin emigrants settled in Richmond County, North Carolina and in upper Marion and Marlboro Counties, South Carolina [adjoining].  This indicates these emi­grants in­cluded members of substantially all of the families of the clan and that they kept well together in their new homes in America.

 

Squire Neil Carmichael, born in Richmond County in 1787 was married to Mary Mc­Call who was born in North Carolina in 1791 of parents unknown.  These are my great-great-grandparents.  Neil and Mary Carmichael had 11 children and lived in Dillon County, South Carolina [created from Marion in 1910] until 1857 when they moved to Gonzales County, Texas with a son who had studied medicine in South Carolina.

 

Mary McCall Carmichael died about 1864, shortly after her husband's death.  I believed I know where they are buried, but there are no markers.  Neil and Mary had a son named Hugh McCall Carmichael and a grandson named James McCall Carmichael.

 

Duncan Carmichael married Martha Ann Burleson, my great-grandparents.  Bennie Lee Hop­per married Hugh Crowell, my parents.  Zia Crowell (that's me) married Jack O. Miller, Jr.

 

As you can see, I know little about the McCalls.  I have worked primarily on the Burleson line, but someday I hope to get around to the McCall bunch. 

 

                                                Most sincerely,

                                                Zia Miller"

 

Alexander McCall, son of John McCall and Mildred McCall, was born in Appin District in 1771.  He was brought to North Carolina on the ship Jupiter in 1775 by his parents.  He was married about 1794 to Mary McDonald.

 

Children born to them include:

 

        Sarah McCall         born June 22, 1808

 

Sarah McCall, daughter of Alexander McCall and Mary McDonald McCall, was born June 22, 1808 in North Carolina, according to "Trinity County Beginnings" by Sybil Cox Brunson.  She was married in 1832 in Barbour County, Alabama to Jesse Cox who was born November 22, 1808 in Georgia.  He died January 2, 1875, and she died November 1, 1875, both in Trinity County, Texas.

A Hugh McCall was naturalized in Marlborough District, South Carolina November 4, 1806:

 

"State of South Carolina Marlborough District.

 

To all to whom these Presents, shall come, be seen, or made known, Greeting:

                                                Jno. Winfield, C.C. pr."

 

It believed that he joined other members of his family in moving to Mississippi Terri­tory in 1808, however no McCall households appeared in the 1810 census of Mississippi, according to "Early Inhabitants of the Natchez District" by Norman E. Gillis.  He re­ceived a Spanish land grant there June 12, 1810 along with Duncan McCall.  His grant read:

 

"Dn. Juan Bautista Pellenin, Femente del Regimiento de Infamenia dela Luissiana Comandante Civil y Militar dela Bahia de San Luis y Sur Costas, subdelagado de­la Intendencia Genl. de esta Providencia.

 

Doy permiso a Hugh McOll para que se pueda enablecen sobre el Rio Perlas parage nombrado la cuerta dela Bella Fuente demancandole Cinco Arpanes [arpent*] de Tierra defrense sobre el lavo insquiendo del Espresado Frio con la profundivar ordinaria de guarenta, la Expresada Tierra nunca acido enable cida, ni pente­nece a perzona alguna, segun me informo Dn.

                                                Juan Bta. Pellenin"

 

[*Arpent: an old French land measure, averaging an acre, still used in Louisiana and Quebec; a French linear measure equal to 198 feet.]

 

Ten years later the American government confirmed to Hugh McCall his Spanish grant:

 

"Commissioners' Report 3, Certificate No. 36 Land Office, Jackson Courthouse

 

In pursuance of the Act of Congress passed on the third of March 1819, entitled 'An Act for adjusting the claims to Land, and establishing Land-Offices in the Districts east of the Island of New Orleans,'

 

We certify that Claim No. 12 in the Report of the Commissioner Numbered 3 (claimed by Hugh McCall, Original Claimant, Hugh McCall) is confirmed as a do­nation and entitled to a Patent for two hundred arpent situate on Pearl River and claimed by virtue of a Spanish Permit executed by John Bte. Pellenin and dated the 12th June 1810.

 

Given under our hands this eighth day of the January 1820.

 

                                                N. T. Barton, Register

        John Elliott, Clerk                     Wm. Barnett, Receiver P.M.

 

Hugh McCall appeared in the 1820 census of Hancock County as the head of a household composed of "2 males over 45, 3 males 26-45, 3 males 16-26 and 1 female 26-45."

 

A Hugh McCall appeared as the head of a household in the 1830 census of Hinds County:

 

        "McCall, Hugh           white male      40-60

                                            white female    40-60

                                            white male      10-20

                                            white female    10-20

                                            white male      10-20"

 

He reappeared as the head of a household in the 1840 census of Lauderdale County, Mis­sissippi, page 47.  The name of Hugh McCall was mentioned in a deed written August 11, 1851:

 

"Know all men by these presents that I, Samuel McCall, of the State of Louis­iana, for and in consideration of one hundred dollars to me . . . do grant, bargain and sell to Calvin Merrell all my right, title and interest in and to one-fourth part of a certain tract of land confirmed in the name of Hugh McCall situated in the County of Hancock, State of Mississippi, situated on the East bank of East Pearl River bounded by land confirmed to Moses Murphy on the north, and on the south by lands confirmed to Daniel McCall, it being one fourth part of two hundred arpents undivided and in common with the heirs of Duncan McCall deceased, the rights and titles I hereby garuntee to confirm.  Given under my hand and seal this 11th day of August 1851.

 

In presents of Charles Merrill  John Mars                Samuel McCall"

 

John McCall, son of Samuel McCall and Nancy McLaughlin McCall, was born about 1777 in Scotland.  He was brought by his parents to North Carolina in 1790 and then to South Carolina.  It is believed that he accompanied other members of his family in a move to Mississippi in 1808, settling there on the Pearl River.  A John McCall appeared as a taxpayer in the 1825 tax list of Yazoo County, Mississippi.

 

A John McCall received a land grant across the river in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana in 1827:

 

"Commissioner's Report of Actual Settlers Certificate No. 673, New Series, Land-Office St. Helena

 

In pursuance of the Act of Congress passed the 8th May, 1822 entitled 'An act supplementary to the several acts, for adjusting the claims to Land, and estab­lishing Land Offices in the District East of the Island of New Orleans,' We certify that John McCall is entitled to a section of Land situate in the Parish of St. Tammany on which he now resides as an actual settler and so reported by the Commissioner in his Report of actual settlement claims.

 

Given under our hands this 9th day of Augt. 1827.

                                                  James Rannely, Register

                                                  Will Kinchens, Receiver"

 

Daniel McCall, son of Samuel McCall and Nancy McLaughlin McCall, was born about 1780 in Scotland.  He arrived in Wilmington, North Carolina with his parents in 1790.  The family moved to South Carolina soon afterward perhaps to join other members of the Mc­Call clan.  It is believed that Daniel McCall was influenced by other members of the family to remove to Mississippi in 1808.

 

It is believed that he received a Spanish land grant on the Pearl River in 1810 along with his brothers.

 

On March 10, 1824 "Daniel McCall of the County of Hancock" deeded to George H. Nixon of Pearlington, Mississippi for $250 a "parcel of land called Daniel McCall's Bluff, on the East Side of the East branch of Pearl River in the County of Hancock aforesaid, containing five arpants in front on said River and running in such direction back as may suit the purchaser forty arpants, being a tract of land granted by the Spanish Government to the said Daniel McCall," according to Hancock Deed Book D.

 

One week later on March 17, 1824 he made a deed of gift, including livestock, to Samuel McCall.  The deed was recorded in Hancock Deed Book D, page 368.

 

It is possible that Daniel McCall was sick or incapacitated.  His brother, Dougald G. McCall, wrote to Duncan McCall, another brother, July 3, 1824, "Let me hear what [Dan­iel?] is doing, whether he lives with you or not.  If he is still at Pearlington, tell him for me to leave that place."

 

The name of Daniel McCall was mentioned in a deed written July 4, 1859:

 

"Know all men by these presents that we Samuel McCall, Emile Mazilly and Louisa Mazilly for and in consideration of the sum of twenty dollars to us in hand paid by Asa H. Hursey the receipt whereof is here acknowledged, have remised, released and quit claimed and by these presents doth remise, release and quit claim unto the said Asa H. Hursey his heirs and assigns all our right, title, claim and interest in and to the Daniel McCall Claim situated in the County of Hancock and State of Mississippi being in Section No. 4, T.7.S of R17 West and containing about 165 acres more or less.

 

We have hereunto set our hands and seals this fourth day of July AD1859.

 

                                                        Samuel McCall

                                                        Emile Mazilly

                                                        Louisa Mazilly"

 

Catharine McCall, daughter of Samuel McCall and Nancy McLaughlin McCall, was born about 1782 in Scotland.  She was brought to Wilmington, North Carolina in 1790 by her parents.  It is believed that she was married about 1799 and remained in South Car­olina when other members of her family removed to Mississippi.  In a letter written by Dougald G. McCall July 3, 1824 he stated  "I have not heard from Carolina . . . nor from Alabama," suggesting that he had relatives there.

 

Ann McCall, daughter of Samuel McCall and Nancy McLaughlin McCall, was born about 1784 in Scotland.  She was brought by her parents to Wilmington in 1790 and later to South Carolina.  Of this individual nothing more is known.

 

Christine McCall, daughter of Samuel McCall and Nancy McLaughlin McCall, was born about 1786 in Scotland.  She was brought to Wilmington in 1790 by her parents.  Later the family removed to South Carolina.  Of this individual nothing more is known.

 

Duncan McCall, son of Samuel McCall and Nancy McLaughlin McCall, was born about 1788, probably in Argyll County, Scotland.  He was brought to Wilmington in December 1790.  Shortly afterward his family moved to South Carolina to join other members of the Mc­Call family, it is believed.

 

It is believed that he left South Carolina March 7, 1808 and accompanied other members of his family to Natchez, Mississippi Territory, arriving there May 8, 1808.

 

He volunteered at Pearlington, Mississippi September 23, 1814 in the Mississippi 18th Militia Regiment and was commissioned first lieutenant of the regiment by Gov. David Holmes September 27, 1814 at Washington, Mississippi Territory.  The governor first wrote "Ensign" on his commission, erased it leaving a trace of the word and then su­perscribed "First Lieutenant."  He was discharged in January 1815 following the con­clusion of the War of 1812 with the defeat of the British at New Orleans.  On December 12, 1815 he was commissioned as sheriff of Hancock County. 

 

On March 4, 1816 He became Hancock County Tax Assessor-Collector.  In 1816 Duncan Mc­Call was shown as the head of a household in Hancock County, according to "Early In­habitants of the Natchez District." by Norman E. Gillis.  Duncan McCall appeared in Hancock County in the 1820 federal census.

 

He was married April 29, 1821 to Sarah Ann Pearl by George Sheriff, J.P, according to Hancock County, Mississippi marriage records.  On August 23, 1820 he was commissioned as Quarter Master of the Mississippi 14th Militia Regiment by Gov. George Poindexter. On August 11, 1823 Duncan McCall was commissioned as an assistant justice of Hancock County.

 

Duncan McCall and his brother Dougald G. McCall apparently had some mutual business interest.  Nine days before his death an accounting of their transactions was re­corded:

Duncan McCall died in Claiborne County on May 26, 1826 perhaps while on a visit to the home of his brother Dougald G. McCall.

 

Sarah Ann Pearl McCall received a letter from Dougald G. McCall, her brother-in-law, which was postmarked with 12Ş postage:

 

"Petit Gulf, October 2, 1828

 

Mrs. Sarah McCall

Pearlington, Mississippi

 

Dear Sister,

 

Yours of the 27th August came safe to hand which aforded me much pleasure to hear that you were all well for I feared owing to your silence that there was something the matter, but I am happy that I am now relieved.  As it regards Mr. Merrill I was entyrely unable to judge as to the correctness of the account or of the statement he had made hoping that he had a regard to honesty and truth.  I did implicate myself so far as to promise him that I should see it paid for I did not wish to see Mr. Holmes suffer on the account knowing that he was secu­rity and another reason was that if he had rendered servises that would entitle him to this claim he would trouble you and the children and it would be impos­sible for me to attend court at such a distance for you know that we always do not get justice by applying to the law.  It's his trade. The third reason is that I can't expect to live long and I want to secure all that I can for the children before I go if possible as I do not know any other person that I can leave it to after I am gone.  These are combination of surcumstances that caus­ed me to do so, tho in the mean time I directed him to send me authorticatic coppies of the accounts allowed by Court.  If he does not comply I do not feel myself bound to do what the laws do not require of me to do.  Therefore if the court will not allow his account I shall not feel myself bound to pay them, but if they do I or some other person must.

 

It is my determination to come down this winter if posible and put everything to wrightes, that is if I can get any person what will take charge of my little affairs while I am absent.  I am in hopes I will put it in a train that will stop all their mouths.  If it was hear I would soon do it for I have all quiet hear on that score. I am in hopes all will come in shortley.  Mr. McCascle called on me a few days since with a small not[e] and account of Twenty four Dollars part of which was my own.  I am in hopes if I have luck I will hush them all shortly--but crops is not as good this year as last or year before.  The drouth injured our cotton.  Nothing but a good price will bring me out.  I bought four Negroes, three of which I have to pay for at January, but I am in hopes price will be good.  If so I am in hopes I will come out. Mr. Cagan's family is all well at this time.  He is building him a fine house, fifty feet by thirty-six.  Lee is sick.  Nancy has not been well since she lost a little one.  John Silcox is dead.  I believe all the rest of the people that you would inquire for is all well.  My own family is all well at this time, but all of the Negroes has been more or less sick, Jack and Creacy very much so.  All is well at this time.

 

Give my compliments to all the enquiring friends there, Aunt Patty and the children.

 

                                          I Remain yours Sincerely

Mrs. Sarah McCall                         D. G. McCall"

 

Sarah Ann Pearl McCall appeared as the head of a household in the 1830 census of Han­cock County.  The family was composed of "one female 20-40, one female over 60, three females under 10 and one male under 10."

 

Family members retained a tax receipt for $2.81 issued in 1837 to "Madam S. McCall" by G. W. Robinson, Hancock County Tax Assessor and Collector for "State, County and Spe­cial Tax."

 

She appeared in the deed records of Hancock County when she purchased a lot in the northeast corner of Block 9 in Pearlington, Mississippi for $20 from Onezius Favre January 24, 1838.  She was enumerated as the head of a household in the 1840 census of Hancock County.

 

Sarah Ann Pearl McCall on September 20, 1851, at age 55, applied for a bounty land grant:

 

"State of Mississippi

Elihu Carver was associated with the McCall family in 1828 some 25 years earlier ac­cording to a receipt found in Hancock County records:

 

"Rec'd from Wm. McCall the sum of Twenty-one Dollars on account of Eligh Carver for Surveying Seven Tracts of land on Pearl River.

 

                                                Evan Sheriff"

                                                

Sarah Ann Pearl McCall apparently hired an attorney to assist her with her applica­tion:

 

"Gainesville, Hancock Co, Miss.

Feb. 8th 1853

 

Dear Sir,

 

I received your letter some six or eight weeks ago in which you stated that ad­ditional evidence was required in order to obtain a Land Warrant for the ser­vices of Duncan McCall.  I have neglected untill now to obtain that evidence which I enclose.  The marriage license, certificate of marriage and commission, (after examination) you will please return by mail, as Mrs. McCall holds them in some esteem.

 

Direct your address to Wm. T. Coons, Gainesville, Hancock County, Mississippi"

 

In 1853 Sarah Ann Pearl McCall, apparently having difficulties with a tenant, sent him an eviction notice and gave public notice that he was not authorized to dispose of any of the property:

 

"I am authorized by the heirs of Duncan McCall deceased to warn you to vacate the lands and tenements where you now reside by the First of January, 1854 or lawful means will be taken to remove you.

 

To Theodore G. Nixon                            Sarah McCall"
