not even sure if you're still wondering about any Calders. My Calder side of the
family came from Scotland - george and I think Margaret. They had children and lived in
Mississippi; first near Quitman in Clark County; then moved to Vicksburg, MS. They moved
there right around the siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War. My great grandmother
(Lydia Calder) married Alexander McNeil. I think I ran across a marriage record online
that says they married in Louisiana(he who was from IL but don't have any more info on
him); it was said that his father was from Canada. was a widow by age 19 and raised her
only son who was also named Alexander McNeil; He married Anna or Annie Frank and they had
3 children (Alexander, Ardene and Errol McNeil) they all moved to Memphis, TN around
1895.
