Prince Edward Island by Smulan77

James Henry McCallum was born in Prince Edward Island, Canada in approximately 1867 and was raised Presbyterian.[1]  He was the son of James Henry McCallum; the identity of his mother is still disputed. There are currently two possible candidates for James’ mother: Catherine and Isabella. Catherine was listed on James’ death certificate as his mother whereas Isabella was the appropriate age for a mother in the James McCallum household of the 1881 census.[2] Although James’ origins remain cryptic, further research will yield answers about James and his story.
