Jonathan's father lived in Worcester County, Maryland at Jonathan's birth, but this region became Sussex County, Delaware around 1767. About 1781 or 1782, Jonathan Callaway married Sarah Dennis. They remained in Maryland/Delaware until about 1784 or 1785, when they migrated to Henry County, Virginia with Sarah's parents and Jonathan's brother, Obediah. About 1789, they migrated to Guilford County, North Carolina with her father, William Dennis, and Jonathan's brother, Obediah Callaway. William Dennis died there in about 1791, but Jonathan and Obediah remained until the winter of 1797-1798, when they moved on, apparently stopping briefly in South Carolina before settling in Hancock County, Georgia. In the winter of 1805-1806, Jonathan and Sarah moved their family across the Oconee River into the former lands of the Creek Nation, the region first designated as Baldwin County by the State of Georgia. By 1807, Jonathan Callaway lived in Jones County, Georgia, where he remained until about 1827, when he followed his children west again, this time to Monroe County, Georgia. He paid his taxes there in 1834, the last known record of him. Sarah Dennis Callaway was a widow by 1840, so Jonathan Callaway died between 1834 and 1840, in Monroe County, Georgia.
