Ken,
No, there is nothing in your message that "jumps out" at me.
However here is some good information that maybe you can
use to find my g g grandfather(John Caldwell)'s, father (James).
James Caldwell "the elder" lived to almost 100 and was born
in Antrim County, Northern Ireland. James being John's father.
James Caldwell was born in 1775. James had a brother Joseph.
Joseph was born, probably 1772 also in Antrim County, Ireland.
James Caldwell married a Caroline in 1796 in Ireland (Antrim ?).
James & Caroline had 10 children in Ireland. Caroline died 1816.
1 of the 10 children (# 5?) was my g g grandfather John Caldwell.
James then immigrated to New York in 1817 with John "in tow".
Probably James (widower) did not take all children, just some.
James is listed as a passenger on ship Aeolus (Londonderry).
James arrived in New York 18 June 1817. He is from Ulster.
James is likely from Scottish descendant, born in Ireland.
Caroline (James 1st wife) is buried in Ireland (Antrim County?).
James & Joseph (brothers) are found in Medina NY area in 1849.
One of Joseph's sons is William (b ~1805). William is in Litchfield,
Michigan in 1868. James' son is John, found in Litchfield in 1868.
William & John being cousins because James & Joseph are brothers.
James Caldwell died 5 April 1875 in Orleans County NY (~100 old).
Joseph died 3 Fed 1868. Buried Shelby Cemetery, Orleans Co, NY.
Survivors of Joseph Caldwell living 1868: George, William, James W.,
Susan, Gertrude, Jane Ann, Libbie, Mary Ann, Joseph W.
Is this enough to be able to find James or Joseph in Ireland,
and some sort of genealogy tree (e.g. their parents or syblings).
Thanks for any information you can find on my Irish / Scottish family....

Subject: 1860 +/- Caldwells moved from New York to Michigan
Looking for descendants of a William Caldwell of Litchfield Michigan living
there in 1860 - 1870. Also looking for descendants of a John Caldwell of
Litchfield, Hillsdale County, Michigan 1860+. William's and John's parents
previously lived in Orleans County and Shelby County, New York. William's father
was Joseph Caldwell of Ireland.
John's father was James Caldwell, William's brother.
Looking for Caldwell descandants in Hillsdale County Michigan that have
connections to New York state of Caldwells that left New York about 1850 - 1870
and moved to the Litchfield / Jonesville MI areas.
My g grandfather John Caldwell born in Median NY 1849.

Doug,
I can not match the persons you list, but just in case there could be a
connection, here is what I have.
I have a Joseph Caldwell born in Ireland, probably between 1750 and 1795. I
have no details on where in Ireland he was born. He married Elizabeth
McMillan, I don't know where or when. Both were deceased before the time of the
death of their son, Samuel, in 1894. I don't know where or when they died.
The only child I know of was Samuel Caldwell, born between 1800 and 1814
(probably about 1814) in Ireland. He married in Ireland to Elizabeth Graham
(place & date unknown) and had at least two children: Elizabeth Jane (bap 11 Jul
1831 at 2nd Omagh Presbyt. Ch., Tyrone, Ireland) and Isabella (b. c1837 in
Ireland). The wife, Elizabeth McMillan, died (probably in Ireland) between 1840
and 1848.
Samuel emigrated from Ireland to Renfrewshire, Scotland, some time before
1848, when he married there to Jane Sinclair. They had at least 4 children:
Joseph c1849, John c1863, Robert c1869 & George c1873. I have no further details
about these 4 boys, except that the latter 3 were alive in 1881 and Robert was
alive in 1894.
Samuel's first daughter, Elizabeth Jane, was alive in 1851 in Renfrewshire.
I have no further data on her.
Samuel's 2nd daughter, Isabella, died in Renfrewshire in 1899. She married
there in 1860 to James Murray, and was my great-grandmother. Some of this
family emigrated to Ontario, Canada, and met there Caldwell "relatives" whose
identities I have never learned. I do know of a Caldwell family in Ontario whose
own family stories include an indication that they shared an ancestry with my
Caldwells, but this link has not yet been found. Their ancestry goes back
into Renfrewshire into at least the late 1700s, and it is "possible" that my
Caldwells went there because there were "cousins" there.
See anything worth pursuing?
