Callaway family

The Callaway family is an American business family originating largely from the U.S. state of Georgia.

History

The Callaway family of Georgia descends from Peter Callaway (1640–1715) an immigrant who came to the United States from England. Fuller Earle Callaway, and Cason Jewell Callaway (1894–1961) were part of this same family; and their branch of the family had migrated to west Georgia (to the cities of Columbus and LaGrange).^[1]
