"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.

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.

Family records indicate that Jeremiah fought in the War of 1812 and was given a Parole of Honor by Gen McArthur, after he surrendered his Army in Canada, although no record can be found on the official rolls. Jeremiah left home and traveled to Kentucky, near Lexington, where he married Harriet Leach in the mid/late 1920s. They moved to Indiana in 1832 and southern Iowa in 1854, where they are buried.
