My ancestor, Joab SCALLORN, was born 06 Jan 1823, probably in Claiborne Parish, where he grew up. His parents were John SCALLORN and Jane Hays DREW, who obviously divorced after his birth. They both appear later in Claiborne Parish married to other spouses. I have a lot of information on the DREW family, but I lose John SCALLORN. I think he is the same as the John SCALLORN in Jackson Parish in the 1850 census. If so, his second wife is Elizabeth? Does anyone know Elizabeth's last name or where John SCALLORN died? I know he had died by 1851 when Joab relinquished rights to his property and then moved to Grimes Co., TX. Would like to hear from anyone interested in these families.
