ALBERT M. DOYLE — was born September 18, 1845, in Kanawha
county, now part of West Virginia. He was a son of Samuel C. and Harriet
(Thayer) Doyle, who died in the county of his nativity. His family for a
number of generations have been residents of Virginia, and were of Irish
stock. At Lagrange, countyseat of Troup county, Georgia, Rose C. Calloway
became the wife of Albert M. Doyle, and two sons have been given them:
Albert M., born September 13, 1880; John C., October 22, 1881. Rose C.,
daughter of John and Lucinda W. (Saunders) Calloway, was born in Bedford
county, April 5, 1851. This county was the home of her parents until their
death. Her mother's father was David Saunders, a colonel of the 1812 war.
Colonel Saunders was absolutely a self-made man, being left an orphan at an
early age, and serving for a number of years as a "bound boy." In after
years he was sheriff of Bedford county, and a member of the State legislature,
possessing great wealth and influence. The Calloway family are of English
descent, although John Colloway's mother was a Miss Calland of Scotch pa-
rentage. The Calland name is now extinct except as a family name.
Albert M. Doyle is cultivating a farm of 800 acres which he owns in Otter dis-
trict. and on which he has his residence. His postoffice address is Goodes
Crossing, Bedford county, Virginia.
