“Jackson County, Ohio. History and Families” Published 1991
John Davis Callaghan and Margaret Hutchison were married in 1792 in Bath County, VA and moved to Ohio in 1811. They first settled in Ross County, but finding the area too wet, they moved in 1812 to Jackson County and located on land southeast of Jackson, near Madison Furnace. It is said they were heading for the Dayton area but met families fleeing that area due to cholera so they stopped in Ross County.
The current Madison Furnace-Callaghan graveyard, in the Cooper Hollow Wildlife area, is located on the edge of the old homestead, part of the graveyard being donated by the McLaughlin family.
John and Margaret had eight children. In order of birth they are: Jeremiah Riley, John Davis Jr, William Oliver Hutchison, Mary Ann, Sarah Bird, Benjamin Franklin, Owen George and Jane. Many descendants still live in Jackson County.
