I looked through some of the Nutmeggers, but didn't see any Caldwells. If I
get time, I'll dust off my older back issues and look. Busy right now.
Sorry.
Eliz.

Chuck (and others)
The debate about privacy is one that rages on, with many new researchers
like yourself saying "I don't understand, what's the big deal?" The
unfortunate thing is that too many people are ignoring the advice of
others, who have been doing research long enough to see the harm that can
be done.
In plainest terms, putting information about someone living CAN AND HAS
harmed people. Personal information can be misused by persons who are not
doing genealogy, but who are out there creating and selling false
idenities. It can be used by criminals to establish credit in YOUR name and
run up bills, ruining your credit history. It could be used even by an
abusive exhusband, looking for a woman who has legitimate reason to want to
hide. Even if you don't post an address, by identifying her family, someone
can use other search engines on the net to find her relatives address,
which could lead him to her.
These scenarios can seem far fetched, if you have not experienced them. But
they have happened enough for others to be aware of them. Once you put
information online (or give information in trust to someone else, only to
find that they post it without your knowledge), there is no taking it back.
The kicker is... why even do it in the first place?? Genealogy is about
finding your ancestry, most of whom are dead. Many people are following the
trend to search back to one given ancestor, collect information about all
his/her descendents (often by simply sending out surveys to living persons
without any effort at verifying the information). If you were to ask them
how one goes about finding information in historical records, on their own,
without someone else knowing the information, many of them would be
stumped. In almost ALL cases, you do NOT need to know anything about a
living person in order to trace your ancestry. Period. If you were the only
child of an only child of an only child, you could still trace your
lineage, using available records.
In over 15 yrs of research, I have and continue to share with other people.
All that is necessary is for us to be working on the same person/family,
and sometimes not even that. I have had great results sharing with people
whose ancestors were only neighbors. You do NOT need to know how or even if
someone is related, in order to work with them.
Maybe you don't care, or think you have anything to risk by putting your
information where it can be distributed. That's fine, make that decision
for yourself. But by putting someone elses information online, you take
away that person's right to decide for themselves, sometimes with
disastrous results. You don't have to know their reason, THEY may not even
be aware that there are risks out there. BUT THE RISKS ARE REAL.
Chuck, genealogists have researched family lineage for YEARS before
computers even existed. That does not mean I don't appreciate the massive
amounts of legitimate, historical information that is now accessible. But
information about living people, being placed online is not necessary to
research. If the majority of experienced researchers are warning against
this, they must have a valid reason.
Good luck in your work.
Wendy
Don't give up so easily. I just started on Caldwell's, and I'm sure they
came from either Eng., Ireland, or Scotland.........just haven't got the
handle to them yet. I'm sure yours will show up one of these days. The
ones I start with are Louise Elizabeth Caldwell, b. in Tenn., but I have no
clue to her parents. She married a Joseph Samuel Mansfield in Alabama. It
looks like
they came probably by way of the Carolina's from maybe
England...........................just hang'n 'n there.

Hi All,
I'd like to add my thoughts on information on the living. Chuck, I'm with you
- seeing "Private" is irritating. A name, especially a common one like John
Caldwell, loses much of its value as a genealogical avenue unless it is set in
the context of birth/death year. Thankfully, most people do not block this
from their files; the notable exception being Broderbund Software in their
Familty Tree Maker products. And they are probably notivated primarily by
fear of being sued; although I can not imagine that another company who is
interested in obtaining your birth date actually trying to retrieve it from a
Broferbund file! There are much easier and faster ways to get it!! And to
another marketer, your age without your address (or phone number) is useless.
As for us genealogists and our relatives as well, I'm sure that the vast
majority of us do not have a problem with having our birth year in a
"published" gedcom file.
So to all of you out there who are preparing gemcom files, please input the
birth year on the living as well as the deceased, and then do not block it
when you make your gedcom available. If it is picked up by Broderbund, THEY
will block it before they put the information into one of their "World Family
Tree" files; but we don't have to, and should not in my opinion, block it when
we make the gedcom available.

I'd like to know who made the rule you can't put dates and other
information on people who are still alive in a gedcom file? Or you're not
allowed to give out that info? I always thought the object was to share
information, not share information on only the dead not the living. The

I'm interested in the information you have on Frances Caldwell, 430.
Hi Marva,
Frances Caldwell is mentioned in the biographical sketch of Samuel C.
Caldwell, M. D.. I hope this helps you in your research.
Margaret
Volume IV, Page 430 - Samuel C. Caldwell, M.D.
"SAMUEL C. CALDWELL, M.D., engaged in the practice of his profession at
Toronto, Jefferson County, shortly after his return from France, where he
had given able and loyal service as a member of the Medical Corps of the
United States Army in the great World war.
Doctor Caldwell was born in Kansas City, Kansas, April 11, 1887, and is a
son of Perry and Elizabeth (Russell) Caldwell, the former of whom died in
1894. Of the five children the eldest is Myrtle, who is the wife of E. A.
Person and the mother of one child, Paul: Stella, is the wife of James
Russell, and they have two children, James and Delmar; Frances is the wife
of John Goldsworth, and they have a daughter, Jean; Ward is married and is
the father of two children.
Perry Caldwell met his death while in discharge of his official duties as
chief of police at Kansas City, Kansas, he having been there killed by a
flat-car in the railroad yards, where he was in charge of the rounding up of
malefactors. His father served as a gallant soldier of the Union in the
Civil war. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Perry Caldwell returned,
with her children, to her old home in Ohio, at Athens, and it was there that
Dr. Samuel C. Caldwell, immediate subject of this sketch, received much of
his early education, he having there attended the public schools and also
taken a collegiate preparatory course. Thereafter he was for one year a
student in Wooster College, and he then entered Starling Medical College at
Columbus, a fine old institution that is now the medical department of the
University of Ohio. He was there graduated as a member of the class of
1912, and after receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine he was engaged in
practice two years at Vinton, Gallia County. He then entered professional
service at the Ohio Boys' Industrial School at Lancaster, and when the
nation became involved in the World war he subordinated all personal
interests to the call of patriotism, as shown in his enlistment, in May,
1918, for service in the Medical Corps of the United States Army. He passed
three weeks at Camp Oglethorpe, Georgia, and then, with the rank of first
lieutenant, was ordered to Camp Crane, at Allentown, Pennsylvania. In the
latter part of September he sailed from Hoboken, New Jersey, for overseas
service. He landed at Liverpool, England, and soon afterward crossed over
to France, where he was assigned to duty at moveable hospital No. 103 at
Chaumont. He soon afterward went to the St. Mihiel sector, and was in
active service at the front, with exigent demand for his professional
ministrations almost continuously, night and day. He was with his command
in the final Argonne drive, and after the signing of the armistice that
brought hostilities to a close he passed two months in service at the
Remcourt base hospital. His next service was at the evacuation hospital at
Brest, in caring for wounded men who were preparing to embark for the home
land. While at Brest the doctor received his commission as captain in the
Medical Corps. He sailed for home August 3, 1919, and before the close of
that month, at Camp Dix, he received his honorable discharge--on the 11th of
August. He thereafter passed three weeks at Lancaster, Ohio, and has since
been established in the successful general practice of his profession at
Toronto. He is an active member of the Jefferson County Medical Society,
the Ohio State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He is
affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, and he and his wife hold membership
in the Methodist Protestant Church.
The first marriage of Doctor Caldwell was with Miss Alta M. Frost, daughter
of Charles and Sarah Frost, and her death occurred in October, 1918, within
a short time after he had initiated his World war service in France. For
his second wife the doctor married Mrs. Jean L. (Glassford) Myers, a
daughter of James Glassford. Her mother died many years ago. She is the
elder of two children, of whom the younger is John. Doctor and Mrs.
Caldwell, are popular factors in the representative social life of the
attractive little city in which they maintain their home."
End of biographical sketch.
Hi I have been hovering in the background hoping that one day someone would
mention Caldwells from Scotland, but this seems to be a very American list.
Boredom (not your fault) is causing me to insubscribe.
However, just in case anyone there has any Caldwells from Renfrew, Ayr or
even Cumbria, England you can e-mail me direct.

Chuck,
As you are new, I'll try to explain the best that I can about
why we do not give out information on our living relatives.
The first & foremost reason is that "they" do not want information
about themselves & their families posted and/or printed about
the internet or in publications. This is a courtesy that we give
to them; it's not a "rule". Most genealogists use software that
will block out dates from the 1900's forward. These programs
can be set to block out whatever information that you want to block.
In todays society, I certainly wouldn't want "any" personal information
about my living family posted on an internet site or published in a book.
In the books and/or websites that I've published, I always ask each
person for their permission to even list their name. Genealogy is certainly
about sharing information but the information shared is usually about our
ancestors who
are deceased. Hope this helps some and good luck with your search!

I reckon there is a few out there that might get their dander up if they
knew you were giving out personal info on them without their permission, but
I sure can't see anything wrong in genealogy info. You don't usually give
out telep. no's, or addresses though. What are the rules? I didn't know
there were very many rules................I'd be glad to know.

Hi Todd,
I am happy to share my resource with you, and appreicate your kind words. I
have set no limits on the number of lookups per query - the one we leave out
might be the one that would be a hit for you.
Here is what I have found for you:
Alexander Caldwell, Volume II, page 510:
Mentioned in LaFayette's Visit to Ohio, 1825 quoted in part:
". . . . . . .. "
"It was Lafayette's original intention to proceed over land to Columbus and
thence to Wheeling. His itinerary, in addition to the state capital,
included Chillicothe, Lancaster and Zanesville. Preparations had been made
at these points to welcome him, but finding the time at his disposal too
short for the journey, he proceeded up the river, passing Portsmouth and
making s short stop at Gallipolis. At the latter place he was entertained
at the home of Congressman Samuel F. Vinton. Mr. Vinton was in Washington
but the general was kindly received by the family, and Mrs Vinton, remaining
at his side till he departed for the vessel, insisted on accompanying him to
the landing.
Leaving this interesting town, founded by his countrymen, the general
proceeded up the river. Passing the island that bears the name of the ill
fated Blannerhassett and other spots famous in the pioneer history of
America, he came, on the morning of May 23, to Marietta where many years
before revolutionary compatriots had laid the foundation of the first
permament settlement in Ohio.
As the vessel approached the landing a gun was fired as a signal that
Lafayette was on board; a little later his name was seen in large letters
across the bow. The news spread rapidly, and the people crowded to the
wharf to welcome the illustrious visitor. His coming was a surprise as it
was generally understood that Marietta was not in the line of his tour.
Some citizens, however, seemed to have anticipated the visit, for a
reception committee with Nahum Ward as chairman, had been appointed to act
in such a contingency.
A procession was quickly formed and Lafayette was escorted to Mr. Ward's
home. Cannon and bells continued to peal a noisy welcome. The schools were
dismissed and the children came to meet the hero whom they had heard so much
since his landing in America. In Mr. Ward's home the general was warmly
greeted by many citizens including many revolutionary soldiers. It was of
the latter and their comrades who established the settlement at Marietta
that he said:
'I knew them all. I saw them at the Brandywine, at Yorktown and Rhode
Island. They were the bravest of the brave.'
The crowd outside ranged themselves in two long lines, down which and back
again Lafayette passed to shake hands with each and all. The children were
not forgotten, and some of the 'wee ones' were tenderly lifted in his arms
and affectionately kissed.
Expressing regret that his visit was necessarily brief, the general went
aboard his vessel again while practically the whole population of the town
cheered from the shore and the artillery sent down a farewell salute that
echoed and reechoed among the historic hills.
The following day dawned without a cloud. Over the Virginian hills the sun
gradually rose into the clear sky. From the forest fringed shores came the
song of birds and the fragrance of flowers. In the changing panorama
presented by the winding river, the morning hours passed rapidly. Those on
deck were looking forward to catch the first glimpse of the flourishing town
of Wheeling. Before they saw the place the ringing of bells announced that
their visit was anticipated. And now the town dawned on their view,
beautiful in holiday attire and radiant in the sunshine of May.
At the formal reception when the party had landed, Judge Alexander Caldwell
delivered the address of welcome. Lafayette in his usual felicitous manner,
responded. It was here that in paying a tribute to republican institutions
he said:
'During my long absence the people of the United States have established a
government founded on broad and just principles, having liberty as its basis
and the happiness of the community for its aim. Such a government deserves
to be perpetuated through all future time. May all nations profit by it;
may its example have no other limit than the globe itself.'
A day of celebration closed with an evening of festivity On the following
morning Lafayette and his companions started by stage for Washington,
Pennsylvania, and the Ohio fields and hills, which for a week had gladdened
his eye, faded forever from sight beyond the 'River Beautiful.'
The memory of Lafayette has been a cherished heritage and his example of an
inspiration to America. Gratitude for his unselfish services and emulation
of his devotion to liberty powerfully appealed to the soldier sons of the
Republic and made them invincible on the far-flung battle line of France."

McClinton:
WILLIAM H. McCLINTON is a citizen who has been identified with Steubenville
since boyhood, has made a name and reputation in his business affairs, and
for many years has been president of the National Exchange Bank of
Steubenville.
He was born in Allegheny City, now part of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
December 24, 1852, son of John and Margaret (Nesbit) McClinton. His

and is head of one of the most substantial finanacial institutions in
Jefferson County.

Volume IV - Page 119 - Dr. William B. Caldwell - Misprint in my Cross Index
Book - Should be Dr. Wilbur B. Caldwell:
"WILBUR B. CALDWELL, D. D. S., has practiced dentistry at Hamilton for a
quarter of a century, and the profession at large recognizes him as one of
the most skilled and advanced workers in the field of dental surgery.
He was born in Butler County, March 11, 1875, son of John R. and Mary C.
Caldwell and a grandson of the 'late' George R. Caldwell. He acquired his
early education in public schools, and then entered the Ohio College of
Dental Surgery at Cincinnati, where he was graduated with the class of 1898.
Following his graduation Doctor Caldwell practiced for twenty-one years at
Hamilton, handling the regular routine of a general practitioner in
dentistry. Since that time, however, he has specialized and largely
confined his work to prosthetic dentistry. He is a member of the State and
American Dental association. He is an elder in the United Presbyterian
Church of Hamilton.
In 1900 Doctor Caldwell married Miss Mary E. Stetzel daughter of John and
Ellen Stetzel, of Butler County. They have one daughter, Eleanor N., born
in 1906, now a junior in the Hamilton High school."

Vol. IV - Page 170 - William Caldwell
"HENRY MORRIS CALDWELL. As one of the sound business men of Youngstown Henry
Morris Caldwell has won an enviable place in his home community through his
own efforts, and today the house he founded receives a fair share of
patronage not only from the people of Youngstown, but of a wide adjacent
territory. Mr. Caldwell was born at Youngstown, September 1888, a son of
Henry and Anna (Morris) Caldwell, both born near Belfast, Ireland. The
paternal grandparents, William and Jane Caldwell came to the United States
at an early day and settled in the vicinity of Youngstown, where they
acquired a valuable farming property. Henry Caldwell was for many years a
paving contractor of Youngstown, and one of the city's public-spirited men.
It was he who erected the Soldiers' Monument in the public square of
Youngstown, and he did many other things to improve the city and county.
His death occurred in 1914, and his wife died three years after his demise.
Untill he was nineteen years old Henry Morris Caldwell was a public school
student, but at that age began working in the Youngstown steel mills, where
he remained for two years. His next employment was with the General
Fireproofing Company, but he left that concern to go with the Youngstown
Steel Car Manufacturing Company, and for the subsequent five years was in
its concrete roof division. In 1916 he went into business for himself as an
architectural engineering supply agent, and has built up a wide connection,
and he also handles office supplies. His place of business is at 11 West
Commerce Street. His business career was interrupted by the war, in which
he saw service from his entry, in May, 1917, in the First Officers Training
Camp, Fort Benjamin Harrison, until his honorable discharge at Iona Island,
New York, February 22, 1919. As a member of the Marine Corps he served on a
battleship in Cuba and in various parts of the United States.
Mr. Caldwell belongs to First Church of Christian Science, and has served it
as treasurer and president. The Youngstown Auto Club holds his
membership."

Volume II. I'm looking for a James Oscar Caldwell who was born ca 1824 and
is buried in Toledo, OH.
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your kind words. I am happy to share the information in the
History of Ohio as it is full of great biographical sketches, as well as
early history of Ohio.
James Oscar Caldwell is not listed. James Caldwell listed in Volume II is
as follows:
Vol. II - Page 14 - Constitutional Convention, 1802
November 6, 1802 appointed to the committee to prepare the second article of
the Constitution.
Page 417 - Eleventh Legislative Session. December 7, 1812 - February 9,
1813: "Official canvas of the vote cast for governor at the previous October
election was made on December 15. Governor Meigs was reelected, his vote
having been 11,859, a majority of 3, 956 over his opponenet, Thomas Scott.
On the next day the vote for congressmen was opened by the Governor and the
Secretary of State in the presence of the Legislature. The increased
population, as disclosed by the census of 1810, now entitled the state to
six representatives in Congress, and the returns showed that the following
men had been chosen in the various districts: John McLean, John Alexander,
Duncan McArthur, Wm. Creighton, Jr., James Caldwell, James Kilbourne, and
John S. Edwards. The last named resigned to go upon the Supreme Bench and
he was succeeded in Congress by David Clendenin."

James Caldwell, 13th, 14th, Belmont County
Happy Searching,
