If you still have the Bible, please check to see if John Anna Eliza-
beth is listed either her birth or marriage to Frances Payne on 13 Mar 1845 in Leon County, Florida. I realize this is a longshot, but I have been unable to find any records on her. If she is listed I would very much like to have the Bible. Please let me know.
Thanks.

Lloyd: Thank you so much for the informative reply. I will keep your post
so that as I continue my research and compilation of CALDWELL material I will
be able to contact you if I run across your John William CALDWELL.

I am loking for my Great Grandparents Hugh and Bertha Caldwell. I don't know to much about them, other than in 1927 they were living at 844 6th ave in Des Moines, Iowa. They had 3 sons, the youngest, Robert Arnold, was given up for adoption. Hugh passed away sometime before 1929, and Bertha was then living in Souix City, Iowa. Bertha may have been born in Nebraska.
To the Message board sender. The following "story" is from my files on the Caldwell family. It was easiest to copy the whole and let you make the deductions of whether this may have a connection to your John William. I will also add at the end the
children of my ancestor David Varner Caldwell. If you can make the connection let me know. This set includes the John Caldwell who wed Dicey Mann. Good luck in your search.

David Caldwell was born July 7, 1708 in Ireland. His parents were John Caldwell and Margaret Phillips. They were either from County Derry or County Antrim, the two northern counties of present day North Ireland. In 1727 the family immigrated to America.
They landed at New Castle Delaware on Dec 10, 1727. It was a large family group consisting of John & Margaret Caldwell, their five children, two brother-in-laws and their families :Moore Richey and Mr. Dudgeon and Margaret's sisters family, the
Daughertys.
John Caldwell settled his family in Chestnut Level, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is found in Drumore Township in the southern portion of the county near the Susquehanna River.
About 1734, the family moved to Lunenberg Virginia. They formed a settlement on Cub Creek known as Caldwell Settlement. There a Presbyterian Church was established, chiefly through the influence of John Caldwell. Cub Creek is claimed to be the oldest
Presbyterian Congregation in Virginia. It is in present day Charlotte County. A plaque marks the location of the church. Most of this information is written about in a number of documents. Two were found in the Logan County, KY library: one entitled
Family History, Caldwell, and the other simply titled Caldwell. Footes Sketches of Virginia 2nd Series, page 50 gives 1738 as the date of the settlement at Cub Creek.
David married Mary Dudgeon about 1745. She was born in 1730 in Ireland. The Dudgeons were among the families that immigrated together with the Caldwells. David and Mary were first cousins. David was at least 37 years old by that time. The information on
this family came from a Caldwell bulletin board on the web. We will try to get source information. It stated that David was born July 7, 1708 in Donegal, Ireland. Donegal is the northern most part of present day Erie, just west of North Ireland.
Ten children of David and Mary Caldwell are listed below. All are noted from the web source and Family History, Caldwell.
1. John Caldwell born 1749 wed 1) Dicey Mann & 2) Jane Neely
2. William Caldwell wed Susannah Chinn
3. David Varner Caldwell born March 11, 1753 wed Phoebe Mann
4. Mary Thankful Alice Caldwell wed 1) Beverly Mann & 2) Abraham Smith
5. Margaret Caldwell wed Thomas Epperson
6. Jane (Jeane) Caldwell wed 2)Robert Lumkins We don't know the first husband.
7. Robert Caldwell wed Hannah Willis
8. James Caldwell born 1765 wed Angeline Isham
9. Sarah Caldwell wed John Owens
10. Thomas Caldwell born 1769
The web source goes on to note David CALDWELL served as Justice of the Peace, Charlotte County, VA. His Will is found on page15, Book 1 of Charlotte County, dated 14 Oct 1765, probated 6 Mar 1769. It mentions wife, Mary, and children, John, David,
William, Thomas, Robert, James, Margaret, Sarah, Mary, and Jeane.
The handwritten family history simply titled Caldwell mentioned above also mentions the same will. However, there are quotes picked up from the will. First the phrase "I give to my son John 150 pounds, 30 pounds each year to defray my son Charles in
learning". This calls into question two items. John must have been an adult, at least 16 and probably older in 1765 when the will was written. Therefore he must have been born by or before 1749. That would match his being listed as the oldest. Charles is
not listed in the first source. Is this an eleventh child?
The second phrase from the will noted in Caldwell: " I do order that my well beloved wife Mary keep possession of the place willed to my youngest son James during her natural life or widowhood, but should she marry and her husband will give good security
to my executors that he will school and bring up my children in a Christian manner, he may keep possession of said place until the above James comes of age." This tells us that David felt strongly about education and Christian training. It does raise a
question about the inclusion of Thomas in the will. He could have been born just before or after the death of his father, but why is his name included in the web list. Was his name added after 1765? Or was he older than James and his birth year
incorrect?
David Caldwell was buried at Cub Creek Presbyterian Church along with his bothers William Caldwell, Thomas Caldwell and his parents John and Margaret Caldwell. The church no longer stands.
Caldwell goes on to note that Mary moved in 1784 to Kentucky and settled near Danville in Caldwell Station. Many of the Caldwell's settled there. Danville is currently the county seat of Boyle County but Boyle County did not exist until after 1840.
Danville was right on the dividing line between Mercer county and Lincoln County. Indeed Caldwells are found in both.
The Filson's Map of Kentucky 1784 has a point near Danville marked "Caldwell's Station". We have a copy of the map and Caldwell's Station is due west of Danville on the Salt River. They had been there a few years. The History of Kentucky 1884 by Butley &
Perrin states in their Bio Sketch of Charles Caldwell on page 745 that Robert Caldwell moved from Virginia to Danville area in 1781. Robert is listed as Mary & David's seventh child. It is possible that the whole family moved together in 1781. We also
have David Varna's son David who reported on the 1850 census that he was born in Kentucky in 1782.
Mary Caldwell's will can be found in Mercer County, KY Will Book 6, p 301, 1820.
The Caldwell Bulletin board site goes on to note that the MANNS, Phoebe and Dicey were sisters. Probably Beverly Mann was their brother. The MANN family also intermarried with the RANDOLPH family of VA and one of the governors was Thomas Mann RANDOLPH .
Henry ISHAM's daughter wed William RANDOLPH, Governor of VA. These families were very involved in forming the US of America!
The Caldwells were active church leaders. Josiah Jackson Caldwell, David Varna Caldwell's first son, was a founder of The Mud Meeting House near Harrodsburg in 1800. This is about 10 miles north of Danville. John Caldwell, brother to David Varna, was
active in founding Bethel church near Campbellsville, KY in 1800, about 20 miles southwest of Danville. Robert Caldwell, another brother to David Varna, founded Caldwell Church near Danville. And of course the Caldwell family founded Cub Creek Church in
Virginia.
The children of David Varna and Phoebe listed in the Family History were:
1. Josiah Jackson Caldwell born 1774 - a church leader at Mud Meeting House
2. Thomas Caldwell born 1776
3. Frances Mann Caldwell born Aug 3, 1778 wed Nancy Davidson
4. Sally Caldwell born 1780
5. David Caldwell born May 15, 1782 wed Catherine Davidson
6. James Caldwell born 1783
7. Dicey Caldwell born 1785 wed Currey McAfee
8. William Caldwell born 1787 married first Mary Henderson, second Rachel Rannick
9. Phoebe Caldwell born 1790 wed Archibald Adams
10. John Caldwell born 1790, War of 1812 vet, wed Mary Knox
11. Cary Allen Caldwell born 1792
12. Betsey Caldwell born 1795 wed Samuel Walker Caldwell
13. Jackson Mann Caldwell born 1797
14. Samuel Caldwell born 1799

I am new to this list but have a very high brick wall. Our grandfather, Joseph David Caldwell, was b. in Little Rock, 15 Jun 1897. His parents were Dave Caldwell/ Bettie Clark. This info is from his SS App issued May 1937 in Sayre, OK. His DC, Dec 1977, Cottle Co, TX, is full of unknowns. The family tradition is that Joe was raised by an aunt. We do know that he was in Cottle Co before WW1, and married Iva Marlow there in 1918 and had children b. there in 1919- 1925. Joe and Iva separated in 1925 and divorced in 1928. Joe worked for the RR maintenance and was drafted in both WW1 & WW2. Does anyone out there have a stray ancestor that might link to Joe?

Thanks for the information. I think Lorraine might be related to my father in law. I printed out this info and will give it to him. Thanks again.
Do you know the parents of your John William CALDWELL?
My GGG grandfather was Beverly CALDWELL (1779 - 1857). He and his parents
were in Green/Adair Co. KY. He was born close enough to your John that they
could have been brothers (or first cousins) - - nine years apart. Beverly's
father was John CALDWELL (1750 VA - 1829 Adair Co. KY) married to Dicey MANN.
They might have named another of their son's John. I do not have the
siblings of my Beverly, so I really don't know about this, but it seems very
possible. Do you have ANY other information about your John other than what
you posted?
Looking forward to hearing from you on this.
