Dear Caldwell Listers,
I would greatly appreciate any help /Advice or whatever you ma desire to pass my way in regards to advancing my Cardwell Research. I need to research William Henry Caldwell, back in time , I suspect for several generations to see if my line of Cardwell could be descendants of those Caldwells that were part of the Caldwell Settlement. I know that many of you are engaged in the same activity.
This is what I have found so far, about the subject Caldwell. William Henry was born about 1858 in Kentucky. His farther and mother were also born there. He Married a Sarah Charlotte Johnson ( aka Charlie ) in Kentucky around 1885.She was born about 1876, in Kentucky as were her Parents. Her fathers name was D.F. Johnson and he was living with William Henry and his wife Charlie at the time of the 1910 census of Logan Co. At that time he was 67 years old.
William Henry Caldwell and his wife Charlie has ,as far as I know, 4 Children, One deceases by the time of the 1910 census. Their living two daughters were Rebecca the oldest daughter born in 1898, Willie, a daughter, born in 1901 and a son Thomas Rhea, born in 1903. The two daughters were born in Logan Co. Thomas was born in Russellville, whatever co. that was in. My connection to these Caldwells is that Thomas Rhea, later married my mother's sister.
I have found these Cardwell on the 1900 and 1910 Census of Logan Co.and on the 1920 Census of Allensville, Todd Co, Ky. I have also found members of this family on the 1930 Census of Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co. Pa. On that census William Henry is 72 years old, his wife Charlie is 55 years old and they reside with his two daughters,Rebecca and Willie.
In trying ti go back in time and find the family to whichmy William Henry belongs to. I find possible fits on several finds.
There is a Logan Caldwell listed on the 1880 census of district 3, Boyle Co. Ky
Logan is 53 years old, indicating he was born about 1827 in Ky. His father was born in Va and his mother in Ky.He is listed as a farmer. He has a son , William age 24, (birth year 1856 )which fits my William Henry nicely. William is 24 years old and a Deputy Sherrif
Close by to Logan, lives a Robert Caldwell, he is listed as a Preacher, born Ky. Fahe born Wa. Mother born Ky.
I am thinking Robert and Logan are likelt brothers and that they are descendant of the Caldwell Settlement at Cub. Creek, Va.
I also find a S.S. Caldwell on the 1870 Census of Precient # 3, Boyle Co. Who has a son William, Age 14 making his birth year 1856, wich also fits my William Henry.
I also find a family of William Caldwell, a farmer, listed on the 1860 census of Pendleton,.Co., Ky. that lists a son William H. Caldwell Age 3, ( birth year 1857 ) which fits my William Henry nicely.
So, I am open to suggestions as to which of these options seem the most feasible, and ideas on how to double check them.Would appreciate replies Via the list or better yet to my E/mail address.
Thank You...Kenneth Leo McIntyre, Vctorville, Ca. ( cwo4lkm(a)msn.com<mailto:cwo4lkm@msn.com>
Thank you for sharing this with the list. My 4Ggrandparents were John

Looking for anyone with info or related to George H. and Claud CALDWELL,
both born in Pope Co., IL, near New Liberty, in the late 1800's. They had 3
sisters, Bessie (my grandma), Lula, and Effie. All lived in Illinois most of
their lives I think, except Bessie, who moved to southern MO around 1916
with her husband, Earl R. Owens.
Please contact me if you have any info. My last trace of George was around
Elgin, IL (Kane Co.), and Claud remained in southern IL.

Go to CaldwellGeneology.com, Discussion Forum for my article "The Caldwell Origins of the Coldwells", which notes a letter from a grandson of John Caldwell, which makes the claim of kinship to John Caldwell Calhoun.. Also see Notable Southern Families, Geneology Pub. Co., Baltimore, Md., 1974, pp 46-58 Calhoun, at p.54, Patrick Calhoun was married twice.... His second wife was Martha Caldwell by whom he had five children...(4) JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN...
Martha Caldwell is generally assumed to be the daughter of William Findley Caldwell, eldest son of Cubb Creek Virginia Caldwell Settlement leader John Caldwell, who immigrated from Ballybogan, County Donegal, Ireland and arrived aboard the Eagle's Wing on December 10, 1727 at New Castle Delaware.
You may consult the geneology tree at that Caldwell website for the family relations.

I am seeking more information on my GGgrandfather George Caldwell.
My mother was Jean Marie Caldwell b: 1932 MA d: 1994 IN
daughter of
John Charles Caldwell b: 1908 MA d: 1976 IN m: Evelyn Bertha Rau
son of
George W. Caldwell b: unknown, d: abt 1953 MA m: Annie Doran
son of
George Caldwell rest unknown.
My grampa Charlie told me when I was to young to care, that our Caldwells
came from Scotland, to Ireland, to the States.
I have hit so many brick walls I gave up about three years ago. I still
want very much to find information. I know my grampa Charlie had three
brothers, Walter who remained in MA, Edward who went to Tx, and I can't
remember the other's name (have at home). I have a picture of ggrandfather
but not much else. Most of my family is buried in St Joseph's in West
Roxbury, but George W is not. Grampa Charlie's mother in law was a Carroll
from Suffolk county, who had relatives in Rhode Island.
If anyone possibly has information on my Caldwells it would be greatly
appreciated. I am willing to dig out what I have to share also.
Gail Greathouse
Jim, it doesn't take a lawyer to know genealogy must be supported and not
guessed at or fudged to be of value. I don't care "how" anyone does their work.
I only care that it is supportable or annotated that it is not.
Alan L. Caldwell
Excuse me Jim,
Not to be obstreperous, but I agree with Alan. It is important that genealogy information be as accurate as possible. When one recognizes info known to be erroneous, it should be called to the attention of others. This is not necessarily argumentative.

Allan, too bad we are not all lawyers then we could really have a
controversial discussion. The main thing, in my opinion, is that we help each other in
our hard task to find and then prove the information we find and not criticize
when it is not done the way we think it should be done.

You're doing a great job with your posts and I thought I made it clear the
criticism was for the often repeated myth not of you or your fine posting. You
are providing an excellent service to all the Caldwell researchers.
I do a lot of research on a number of subjects and the lawyer in me comes to
the fore when I see information that is not properly supported or in error. I
know what documentation is available in Ireland and there is precious
little. Couple that fact with the old Irish naming scheme and we have every
Caldwell named James, John, William, etc. Now we add in the simple fact that there
were many James, Johns, Williams, etc., born at or near the same time and we
have a situation where it is often difficult to track the descendants
correctly. Just because I may find a Charles born in 1837 doesn't necessarily mean
this is MY great grand father.
I am constantly seeing great leaps of faith in making family connections.
Too many want to connect with Castle Caldwell, John C. Calhoun, etc., badly
enough to do so without documented support.
Your information, however, is a great help to folks who have been terribly
frustrated in not finding a good source or starting point for their family
research.
Please don't let my fussing deter you from your very welcome postings. We
all know some of the information may not be perfectly accurate and that is not
your fault but that of the original poster of the information.

Do you have any information on a Rosa Caldwell born in 1892 or 1893 to Lucy
Caldwell and Philip Slusher ?? Rosa married a man named Mat Collett . She
also married a man named Preston perkins . I don't know if Lucy raised her
or if Lucy was her real mother but she is my Aunt and i would like to find
out all i can about her . Lucy Caldwell was married to George Washington
Caldwell and her parents were Samuel Caldwell and Idress Brock ... Thank you
