Notes:

                   Though Catherine is often listed as the mother of John Callicott, family tradition and the age of Catherine on the 1850 Census suggest that the first two children were born to a first wife of Thomas Bailey Callicott, and that Catherine is the second wife.  Lucy Moss is assumed to be the first wife, and is listed in several sources as such.  One source gives the middle name of John Callicott as Moss (supported by a census record showing a middle initial M), again furthering the tradition that Lucy Moss was the first wife.

Several pedigrees show Lucy Moss as the mother of all the children, and having died in 1849.  This might just be assumption though.

A note from Ancestry World Tree

Census records indicate that Thomas Callicott lived in Franklin County,Alabama.

It is also believed that he had a marriage prior to Catherine, but at this time, their is no data or records to verify that fact, it is purely speculation ... but this speculation is sincerely believed to be true by family members.  It is believed that his first two children, were the offspring of his first wife.  For simplicity's sake, I have entered all children under Thomas's second wife, and I hope this does not prove to bedistracting from actuality.
