The county of Callaway was named for the gallant Captain James Callaway, who was killed by the Indians at Loutre creek, on the 7th of March, 1815. The county was organized Nov. 25, 1820, out of the territory of Montgomery Co. The first county seat was at a place called Elizabeth, situated on Ham's Prairie, about 6 miles south of Fulton. It remained there until 1826, when the seat of justice was permanently located at Fulton. The latter place was founded in 1824, by MR. GEORGE NICHOLS, and was at first called Volney, for the celebrated French author; but the name was soon after changed to Fulton, in honor of Robert Fulton, the great applyer of steam to navigation. The dates of the various early settlements in Callaway Co., are given in connection with the histories of families, and it is not necessary to repeat them here.

When Winthrop was nearly grown, he was sent off to school, and remained away several years, during which time he grew to be a large, portly man. When he came back to Fulton he met Tom on the street, who failed to recognize him. "Why, Uncle Tom", said he, "don't you know me?" "No, Sah," said Tom. "neber seed you afore, as I knows of". Winthrop looked at him, smilingly for a moment, and then said, "Well, Uncle Tom, who was the worst boy you ever saw?" This was sufficient. Tom immediately recognized his old tormentor, and exclaimed, "Why, Massa Winthrop, is dis you! Bless God! I neber would 'o known you in dis world! But what made you so fat, Massa Winthrop? Has you been drinking whisky? I bet you has, 'fore God."
