Hello,
I would very much like to make contact with descendants of the Calderwood
families of Blackbyre and Clonfin, Fenwick, Ayrshire, who lived on these
neighboring farms from the late 18th century up until at least the 1870s. One of the
families had a daughter who married one of the Gemmills at neighboring Amlaird.
Circumstantial evidence points to these as the most likely family of origin
for our John Calderwood, b. ca. 1797/8, who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1830s.
But I'd like to compare notes with some who are connected to these lines.
