Andrew Callaway and two partners laid out the town of Hartsville, Indiana. Little is said of him in the history of Indiana. He died when he was about 45 years old. It took ten years for his estate to be settled. Andrew came from a plantation in Virginia, where his name was complicated in estate records. He was given quite a lot in the settlement of his father's estate, but gave it to his brother for just a dollar. Not sure that was a legal and binding contract. So that is likely why it took so long to be settled.
Something else complicating it was Sarah, his widow, remarried and her husband was then in charge of the estate. There was a 15 year old girl who vanished from the home and it was rumored he got rid of her somehow. She just vanished and was never heard of again (Andrew's daughter). I think the term used for her in those times was 'moron.'Likely she was autistic.
Little else is known about Andrew. He served in the War of 1812 and we know this because he was fined by the sheriff for a bill he owed in connection to that service. His father was a Rev. War patriot, listed as an 'armorer.' The name of the area they lived may have got it's name from Andrew's father. The history says the man it was named for was a gun maker and had one with him the day an Indian came upon him. He aimed, fired and the trigger jammed. So he threw it at the Indian and ran. Thus the name of the place became Trigger Run. Seems feasible that it was Andrew's father since he lived there and was a gun maker.
