BIOGRAPHY FROM FIND A GRAVE

Achillies was born in Virginia. He first married Mary J. Williams of Davidson county, TN. in 1868 in Coffee county, Tn. The family lived in district 6 of Coffee county between 1870 and 1880, Mary died abt. 1878. The couple had 3 children, Mary b. 1871, Margaret b. 1875 and Rowena b. 1878. Mary's widowed mother Evaline Williams and some of Mary's sibblings lived with the family in 1870 and Achilles worked at the flour mill. By 1880, Mary was deceased, living with the newly widowed Achilles and his three daughters is his sister in law Castilla Williams. The last name on official records is variously spelled Callaham, Calloham and Callahan.

Achilles was a confederate civil war veteran. He mustered in at Manchester, Coffee county, TN in 1861 at 25 years of age, as a Corporal and mustered out as a Sargent for the 24th Tennessee Infantry company K. The unit was raised at Coffee county, but due to poor conditions it was moved to Portland, Sumner county, TN. for training the troops. This is probably where he met Mary, her family lived in Davidson and her sister Margaret was engaged to Andrew Carver of Sumner, TN. (previously SC).

He married Jennie Taylor on May 8, 1881 in coffee county, tn. They had at least 3 children: Andrew Clarence Callaham b. 1889, Minnie and Maude. Their son Andrew died Oct. 1926 in Wichita falls, TX,
