Hi three items Most of the family names and history of the James and Cathrine family we
have came from a book written by George Washington Calderwood in his eighth decade of life
simply named Calderwood family of Penneslvania. I will see if I can find those sheets that
were sent to me.
another book Calderwoods of scotland Ireland and America interesting reading a little
slanted towards the authors family but interesting. Second is james (1750-18420 I do not
know of any written history on who is fathers name is my though is the only way to find it
is church records but so far have not found any recorded that has that info in Penn state.
another note in looking up Catherines info I could find only one Catherine Porter name
durring the time frame with James in Philidephia and she was a indentured servent of the
correct age. but no Calderwoods in town at that time. good luck on your hunt. a
interesting note in the way of family tradition was our calderwood came across with the
british army and when his company turned left to battle he turned right and settled in
Penn country. Pj
