Note: The first place we can find Andrew is Fayette County, Kentucky in the 1810 census. Fayette County is the county in which Lexington is located but Andrew was a farmer in the southern part of the county. The census taker, Joseph Crockett, described his census territory like this: " The number of persons within my division consisting of the south part of Payette County (that is to say) all south of the main road leading from Frankfort by Billy Dailey's to exclude Lexington, then up the main road leading to Clark Court House - containing 12,365 souls as appears in a schedule hereto subscribed by me this 29th day of December 1810"
Crockett reported four children in the Andrew McCallie household. Two boys, one between 10 and 16 and one between 16 and 26, and the same for the girls. Andrew and his wife were both listed over 45 years old. There were no slaves listed.
The community - or farm area - must have been primarily Scottish since many of the surrounding home were of Scottish names as heads of the household.
(Editor's Note: In the 1800 to 1850 national census only the heads of household were classified by sex and by age, i.e., under 10, 10 to 16, 16-26, 26-45 and over 45. Negroes and Free Colored People (generally Indians) were listed separately. )
Andrew married Martha Todd according to Mattie Davis of the Lexington, Kentucky DAR, and one son was named John M. McCallie, of whom she is a descendant. The other son was William T. McCallie who was born in 1788. some 13 years after Andrew arrived in America.
