Message Board Post:
You overlook the family of James and Margaret (?) Calderwood who went from Scotland to
Londonderry, Ireland and from there to Londonderry, New Hampshire in November 1725. Their
son John helped settle Vinalhaven, Maine and from there, the rest of the United States. I
concentrate on the USA families and thus have no idea from where in Scotland they came,
but Albert Taylor in his "The Calderwood Families of Scotland, Ireland and
America" suggests that James may have come from the area of Peacockbank, Ayreshire,
Scotland. At the present time in a by-no-means-even-nearly-complete genealogy of this
family, I am at 3362 people and I've barely made a dent in the available information.
I am adding people every day, and at present, the census stops at 1930! The Calderwoods
are a numerous family no matter from whence they come!
