John Caldwell, Hardin co KY/Elizabeth Akers had a daughter, name
unknown. Unknown daughter marries unknown Brantley boy in an unknown
place in KY at an unknown time.
This unknown couple goes to an unknown place in TX. They have a family.
One thing for sure is that their son "Gus" comes to KY about 1864 to

Does anyone out there have any information on Matthew Fontaine Caldwell married to Lillie B. Pond.
He was born 23 June 1871 in Mineral Springs, AR. They were married 14 April 1909 and were living
in Indian Territory in the 1910 Census with their little girl named Blanche. Matthew was part Cherokee
and also a Preacher. Their daughter Blanche Ivey Caldwell married Buck Barrow brother of Clyde Barrow
of Bonnie and Clyde. Matthew was a brother to my great-grandmother Lula (Vivulie) Elizabeth Caldwell.
Lula and family migrated from AR to Owlet Green, Texas in Van Zandt County.
Thank you,
Mary Brooks
I have a Caldwell in Missouri in about this time period that just is a
"moving around" person....I haven't been able to pin him down into an exact
location long enough to get records about him.
He and his family of this time period are:
Samuel (b. 1834) and Elizabeth Warren Caldwell
They had the following two children in MO.
Minnie V. Caldwell b. 1871, Bevier, Macon Co. MO
Nora A. Caldwell b. 1873, Summit, Macon Co. MO
Their next child was born in 1875 in Bradford, Stark Co. IL
He died in 1881 possibly somewhere in MO.
I am to the point of just wishing that someone has him listed on a
list.....somewhere.
Joy

I am looking for information on a "Caldwell Cup". It is said to be silver
and depicts three "Caldwell" brothers lives from Mt Auret in France and
the move to Scotland. It has been said to have been in the posession of
one Oliver Caldwell in Carlisle, PA. If anyone has any information, I would
love to hear from you.
Also, I have a Caldwell history page on my website. It includes a PAF file
going back 23 generations. If you find a link to my tree, please let me
know so that I can fill in the branches.

Thought you might find the following interesting:
Looking back: glimpses of the life of Virginia Tech's
first student
On Oct. 1, 1872, the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College
by Clara B. Cox*
But for a long walk from Sinking Creek in Craig County to Blacksburg on
Oct. 1, 1872, William Addison Caldwell may
never have attained his singular position in the history of Virginia
Tech.
His trek over mountains and through valleys on that autumn day, however,
ended in the Preston and Olin Building, where
16-year-old "Add" became the first student to register at the Virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical College (V.A.M.C.), the
commonwealth's new land-grant institution that would become Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University.
Born on January 10, 1856, at Sinking Creek, Va., Add Caldwell was the
second of George Charlton and Lorena Givens
Caldwell's nine children. Generations of Caldwells had lived in Craig's
valleys since the 1760s, when King George III of
England granted land to their forebear, John Caldwell. The family's
large, two-story frame house still sits on the
mountainside above their valley farm. Add's early education can only be
surmised because the county's school records
were destroyed by fire.
Craig County historian Jane Johnston says he most likely attended one of
several one- or two-room schools existing near
the farm (public education was introduced in 1870). Or, she adds, he may
have been taught by a visiting home instructor,
a method of education popular among more prosperous county residents.
What prompted Add Caldwell to investigate the agricultural and
mechanical school in Blacksburg may never be known.
Whether he saw one of many advertisements the school's president,
Charles L.C. Minor, placed in state newspapers or
learned of the new school through word of mouth, Add and his older
brother, 18-year-old Milton M. "Mic" Caldwell, walked
over Gap and Brush mountains, perhaps as much as 28 miles, to
Blacksburg. Virginia Tech historian D.L. Kinnear
describes in The First 100 Years what happened that day:
On October 1, 1872, the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College
officially opened its two doors to students. The
faculty gathered early; President Minor unlocked the front door, and he,
Lane, Martin, Carroll, and Shepherd [faculty
members] filed into the building and somewhat nervously, it can be
imagined, awaited the arrival of the first student. The
wait was much longer than had been anticipated, but finally William A.
Caldwell from Craig County "drifted" in and was
immediately given a state scholarship as the school's first student. An
unverified report hints that Caldwell's appearance
was motivated more by curiosity than by serious scholastic intentions.
While Add has been targeted as the first student to register, Mic also
registered, probably the same day, although he
never graduated. About 30 other students trickled in during the first
month, prompting President Minor to write to Board of
Visitors member Gen. Joseph R. Anderson, "[It is] plain that our
beginning is to be smaller than had been expected."
Although total enrollment for the year eventually reached 132, President
Minor was not altogether happy with the quality of
scholarship. He noted that many students came with "the scantiest
preparation," which made it necessary for V.A.M.C. to
"include much of the work properly belonging to the high schools, or
even the grammar schools, thus leaving it
impossible to do all that is to be desired in the special technical
courses."
Add probably lived in one of 24 lodging rooms in the Preston and Olin
Building. Many students found rooms in town.
Because the college had no dining facilities until 1873, students ate in
town, many at Luster's Hotel.
Add's scholarship covered his $30 tuition, his $10 fees, and $5 per
month room rent (unfurnished). "Table board" was
$12 per month, and coal reportedly was "convenient and cheap." Uniforms
cost an additional $17.25.
In his first-year studies, Add likely was exposed to commercial
arithmetic, bookkeeping, algebra, English grammar,
geography with map drawing, descriptive astronomy, penmanship, free-hand
drawing, lectures on physiology and
hygiene, lectures on habits and manners, lectures on the value of
agricultural and mechanical arts to society, French or
German, farm or shop practice, and military tactics.
According to the 1964 VPI Historical Data Book, compiled by Jenkins M.
Robertson, the entire college was under military
discipline from the beginning. Students were "required to meet
formations, march to classes, pass room inspections,
have military passes when off campus, and conform to other types of
military behavior."
Add, a member of Company B, attained the rank of second sergeant by the
middle of his final year in college. Each
Memorial Day, the corps marched to Confederate graves at Montgomery
White Sulphur Springs, 12-15 miles away,
returning to campus the same day. In 1875, parts of the corps' two
companies united for the long march, while the rest
rode to the ceremony, prompting a comment from a Gen. Preston that "it
was damned poor militia that had to be hauled
about in ambulances."
The first school year at V.A.M.C. ran from Oct. 1, 1872, to the last
Wednesday in July, 1873. For the next decade,
summer vacation was replaced with a Christmas break that lasted until
late February. Minor, in an 1875 issue of the
student publication, The Gray Jacket, justified the new school term,
saying the winter vacation suited V.A.M.C. because
"the study of farm operations is interrupted at a less important season
of the year; besides students from other sections,
while escaping the severity of winter in the mountains, will remain at
College during the most pleasant and healthful part
of the year."
Add's performance in his classes is only partially known. His obituary
says he graduated "at the head of his class," but it
is likely that the reporter confused his status as the college's first
student, especially since he was not listed as an
outstanding student at graduation and those grades that survive do not
indicate he was an exceptional student. He
completed the three-year program in four years.
Add's 1875 report card lists his grades on a 1-10 scale, (we assume 10
is the high score) as follows:
Mathematics - 5 Chemistry - 7
Natural History - 8 Composition and Rhetoric - 7.5
French - 8 Composition (written) - 10
Military Tactics - 9.5 Farm work - 10
William Addison Caldwell graduated on Aug. 9, 1876, with V.A.M.C.'s
second graduating class. That morning, the
graduating class elected Add secretary of its alumni association.
Following graduation, Add may have returned to Craig County to teach
school. In 1877, an editor of The Gray Jacket
complained that "so few of our ÔOld Boys' are farmers" and that "so many
of them became teachers." But, the editor
noted, many probably farmed during the off season, "most aptly filling
their places as good citizens and grateful sons of
Virginia."
Certainly by 1880 Add, Mic, and their brother Frank, who had also
attended a few sessions at V.A.M.C., were all living
with their parents in Sinking Creek and teaching school. At that time,
Craig County employed 26 teachers for its 26 public
schools.
How long or where Add taught cannot be ascertained, but by 1887 he was
living in Roanoke and working in the general
office of Norfolk and Western, where he was later described as "a well
known and popular employee." He moved to
Wilmington, N.C., around 1898, where he worked for several large
wholesale firms on the wharf; the Virginia Tech Alumni
Association reported in 1911 that Add had been a salesman for a molasses
firm.
Sometime before 1910, Add's health declined, and his niece, Katherine
Caldwell Mendez, now 90, says he underwent
surgery for a brain tumor. He recuperated at the home of his mother (his
father died in 1904), who was now living near
Mic's family in Radford. Hearing that salt air would be beneficial, he
secured a hotel clerk position at Wrightsville Beach,
N.C.
On June 15, 1910, Add wrote his then-9-year-old niece, Katherine, who
had developed a fond attachment for this uncle
who would play games with her and help her with such chores as capping
strawberries. In the letter Add admitted that
the hotel was "a fine place to spend the summer" but said he would
rather be in Radford.
A few days later, Add fainted and fell, apparently injuring his head. He
died in a Wilmington hospital 10 days later on June
29, 1910. His body was taken to Radford, where a funeral was held in his
mother's home, and he was buried in the
Caldwell family cemetery in Radford.
Today, the memory of William Addison Caldwell lives onÑin the undying
affection of his niece; through a nephew and
namesake in Radford, who presented the university with his uncle's bible
in 1989; and in his singular role in the slow and
sometimes tumultuous birthing process of the school that was to become
Virginia Tech.

Hey Dave it's good too see Ya posting again.
I sat at this brick wall of my g grandfather Allen Albert Caldwell/Amanda
Ellen Baird for such a long time being convinced that no one would ever
respond that actually heard of my family tree.
To my surprise I was recently contacted by a Robert Hays who is also a g
grandson of Allen Albert Caldwell/Amanda Ellen Baird!
Imagine my excitement & disbelief in getting this e-mail! LOL I now
have a brick wall of Samuel Caldwell/Sarah Smith but at least I no longer
feel alone in the search . LOL
I now have been contacted by members of Robert's family (Mother, uncle &
aunt & sister) who have lived their lives in Marshalltown, Liscomb &
Green Mountain Iowa all of those years that I was living my childhood
nearby in Des Moines!
Another aunt in Corona California also phoned me to say howdy.
My emotions overwhelmed me too no end & I don't close my eyes at nite
without saying an additional prayer of thanks for such good fortune in
my life.
Robert Hays lives in Grand Island Nebraska (a state I always dreaded
driving across) which I have driven past 4 times in the last two years
after returning too visit my home town of Des Moines after 34 years of
living here in Oregon.
Now when I drive across Nebraska I'll appreciate what it really has to
offer me, a long lost cousin & his beautiful family. :-)
As you may guess I am so thrilled with my new find that about all I can
concentrate on is getting back to Iowa in May of next year to meet aunts,
uncles & cousins that I wasn't aware that I had!
Dave it is funny of our coincidental situation of the names Albert Allen
& Allen Albert then to actually be cousins anyway! LUCKY YOU HUH? LOL
Thanks & good hunting! Oh while I am at it Dave, RETIREMENT IS SWEET!
:-)

that after my searching had continued unfruitfully for years, just about a
year ago I discovered the name of my "Mattie" CALDWELL's mother, Ruth
GREENWOOD. So I keep looking. These little bits of data show up only when
the researcher is persistent. And yes, Audrey, I have a feeling that my

Regarding Hugh Caldwell.
Audrey Pool is right and I was wrong. Hugh Caldwell was not connnected with
the Train/Caldwell family. I was speaking from faulty memory. Senior moment.
If other Hugh Caldwells can be added, in Lancaster Co PA Deed Books:
M-74 Hugh Caldwell witnessed a deed involving Donegal Twp 29 Sep 1766
L-400 Hugh Caldwell signed Oath of Allegiance 29 May 1778 (these oaths were
inserted in the Deed Book)
M-74 Hugh Caldwell witnessed a deed involving Donegal Twp 29 Sep 1766
M-92 James Hamilton released 91 acres in Little Britain Twp to Hugh Caldwell
for £ 15.
E-mail 14 Apr 1999 from Larry Caldwell (larryc(a)teleport.com) writes of
Samuel Caldwell who immigrated from Ireland 1729 with w Elizabeth Buchanan
and only known ch Hugh. Hugh m Margary (sic) Scott and had one known ch Hugh
Jr who m Jane Boyd; they had nine known ch b 1785-1806 in Clearfield Co PA.
Now my burning question: Alexander Caldwell's sons Robert, William and John
settled in Campbell Co KY, having moved there from "old" Frederick Co VA -
Berkeley Co (W) VA -- not NC -- in the late 1700s. Alexander may have had a
brother Andrew, also of the Frederick-Berkely Co area. They were closely
allied with the Gosney and Colvin families. Although given names repeat
among the families, I suspect that Alexander's father may be Robert Caldwell
of Chester Co PA who died in 1767, naming these sons in his will: John,
William, Robert, and Alexander. Any comments? Thanks.

I have this info from a book titled "History of Northwest Missouri" pub in
1915.
Train CALDWELL was b. Oct. 1, 1810 " ....in a block house on the edge
of OHio while the family waited for the opening of the lands in Fayette Co,
Ind. He died March 2, 1887 at Connorsville, Ind."
He married Jane MCCLURE dau of Samuel MCCLURE of Irish descent who
settled in Fayette couty from Adams Co., OH. She died in 1869.
Their children were: James, John, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Mary who
married Lee FOX , Ira, Johathan, Sanford and Wilson.
Train's parents were James and Mary LODER CALDWERLL . Says Jameszs
was a South Carolina family, but was born in KY. There he married Mary.
Hope this helps someone,
Christine
Pollyanna,
I see you are still looking! Some of us may never be completely sure just
which CALDWELL line we belong to, but because they are from the south gives
us hope. I believe many of the Southern CALDWELLS descend from Cub Creek
John CALDWELL line. There were brothers who lend a possibility as to being
our ancestors too.
Everytime I look at your connections, I have to think of the intermarriages
of the POOL(E)S and our families.
The best, Audrey
For those who may be recent newbies to the list:
I have ????CALDWELL b. TN who married Ruth GREENWOOD, b. AL. In
October, 1848, somewhere in Alabama, Ruth and ??? CALDWELL had a baby
daughter they named Martha Jane and called "Mattie". In 1870, Martha Jane
"Mattie" CALDWELL married William B. SPARKS in Hopkins County, TX. I have
the names of Mattie and William's 5 children.
So far, I haven't found Mattie's family in any record prior to her 1870
marriage. Birthplaces of her parents are from census records and might be
inaccurate (Oh, joy!).
Any help would be most terrifically appreciated!
