Looking for the burial place of Perry Newton Caldwell. He was living in Red Rock, Bastrop County, Texas at the time of his death, on October 1, 1881. His wife Delia Basford Caldwell died on February 3, 1920 in Thorndale, Milam County, Texas. According to records in her widow's pension documents, she was buried in the Red Rock Cemetery in Bastrop County, Texas. I feel certain that her husband is probably buried there as well. There is no record of either burial on the online cemetery records.
Anyone with personal knowldege of their exact burial place please contact me so a proper confederate grave marker can be placed.
Perry Newton Caldwell enlisted in the 17th Texas Infantry Co. B on April 4, 1862.
Perry Newton Caldwell and Delia Marie Basford were married on April 6, 1859 in Bastrop County, Texas. His wife's widow's pension was approved on August 31, 1909.

I am seeking information on Martha Caldwell and Charles Earl Lewis. Martha was from Alabama and her son, Charles was born in Bosque County Texas.
Let me preface this first. I don't think I am out of line on this one.
This is definitely genealogy related!
Does anyone have a list of nick names given to given names? I believe that
it might help us all in our research.
Jane Foley
Nicknames can drive you crazy and into a brickwall..I had been looking for
a " Mrs. Pete Jay" for 2 years. No man by that Name could I find.
Found a new JAY cousin in Eldorado, Texas ...we met for lunch in San
Angelo, Texas. He brought a picture album ....picture of his mother was
noted as "Pete Jay" .I had always known that his mother's name was Vera...
but to my surprise her nickname was PETE. A ranchhand at the family ranch
named her "Pete" at age 6 and younger sister" Repeat." They both carried
the nicknames into their adult years.
Problem solved... but I wasted a lot of time looking for someone who did
not exist.
