Cousin Beth reminded me that Stan Courtney has a list on his Callan Genealogy site which might have some good leads:

I descend from an Irishman named James Callan, who married a Bedford, PA woman in 1820. They were Catholic. Was your Callin Catholic?

I don't think so, but I am basing that on what I know about his descendants. His daughter-in-law was a founding member of the Hopewell (Presbyterian) congregation organized in Milton Township, Richland County, Ohio in 1817: https://archive.org/details/historyofashland00hill/page/84

James's grandson, William, was either a member of the United Brethren church or of the Methodist church.
