Quentin,
I am in the same boat. My CALDER line is a maternal line & from MS so my
information may not be any help to you at all although my ancestress is a
Mary Ann CALDER. I am going to send it anyway in hopes that we may make a
connection or maybe we'll have some new researchers on the list since I
posted it last who might recognize something in it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mary Ann CALDER / CALBER, b. Jan. 1, 1808, d. March 22, 1885 married John H.
YEWELL on Nov. 8, 1832. John H. YEWELL was b. Oct. 15, 1794 or 97, d. Sept.
2,
1879. These are my ggg grandparents.
( The Carroll Co., MS, Cemetery Listing book shows the date of John H.
YEWELL's
birth, taken from his tombstone, as Oct. 15, 1797. Also from the book & from
Mary's
tombstone, her last name is given as CALBER & her date of death. I'm
wondering if CALBER a spelling variation of CALDER? However, I think a
spelling mistake was made when the tombstone was inscribed.)
They had the following children:
Penelope Angeline YEWELL, b. 1838, Carroll County, MS. She married Isaac
DUNN on Oct. 7, 1856. Isaac DUNN d. Dec 31 1863 in Chattanooga, TN ( a Civil
War soldier).
Eliza Jane YEWELL, b. Nov. 1834, died before 1910, buried in Poplar Springs
Church Cemetery, Carroll County, Mississippi. She married on Feb. 23, 1852 in
Carroll County, Mississippi to David DUNN, born ca. 1816 or ca. 1830. He died
before 1900 in Carroll County, Mississippi, & was buried in Poplar Springs
Church
Cemetery, Carroll County, Mississippi. These are my gg grandparents.
James C. (Cisero) YEWELL, b. Nov. 30, 1856, d. March 25, 1936. On Nov. 11,
1892, James C. YEWELL married Martha BAGLEY who was b. Dec. 25, 1875, d.
1915. She may have been born in Salem, MA since notes indicate a connection
for her to that area but I am unsure of exactly what that connection is. (
This information from the Carroll Co. Cemetery Listing book: Beside James
Cisero Yewell is the grave of Mattie Bagley Yewell / Oct. 30, 1851/ Nov. 11,
1892. James YEWELL's middle name, Cisero, came from the book also.)
John F. YEWELL, b. Jan. 28, 1845, d. 1860
Norman M. YEWELL, b. Sept. 30, 1836, d. Oct. 25, 1925. ( Information from the
Carroll Co. Cemetery book : Tombstone reads: Co. K, 30th Miss. Inf./no
dates.)
Note: James C. YEWELL was a Civil War soldier.
I have been told that there may have been another sibling (daughter) but have
not been able to get any information to confirm.
Any information on this line, especially the CALDER / CALBER connection will
certainly be appreciated.
