I have very little information about Samual Call, only that he was born in Ireland in 1775, and married Sally Stewart in Bourbon County, Kentucky USA in 1800 or 1805. He died in 1864 in Carpentersville, Indiana, USA. I am wondering if the name "Call" could have been actually McCall before emigrating? Does anyone have any information about the names Call or McCall?
Hi Patricia,
These are the only Samuel Call (+ surname variants) baptisms from www.rootsireland.ie/ - none for 1775 I'm afraid:
Perhaps the 1738 was his father or uncle?

Do you know if they were protestant or R C?
Early burial records for Call & variants (1600 to 1800) are from Tyrone Down Derry Limerick & Antrim, so hard to pin down
Early marriages are from the same as are baptisms with Armagh in the mix also.
The Tithe Applotments (free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/ ) have 26 Calls in 9 different counties 1824-34!
Would dna testing help to narrow it down perhaps?
Col
