I do have a note that Rebecca moved to Mill Creek, Newberry District (old 96th District),

I have also discovered a wesite where another person researching the same family line has

Excerpt from the above website:
10. David Caldwell, youngest child, born in Virginia bout 1759 or 60 was deaf from birth
or early childhood and due to his handicap was not qualified for military service during
the Revolutionary War. However, he seems to have been physically strong otherwise, married
(wife's name unknown), reared a large family, and lived to be an old man. It occurs to
me that David must have been a great source of help and comfort to his mother Rebecca
during and after the traumatic days of the Revolutionary War in which her other sons John
(who lost his life), William, and James served heroically.
Hope this helps. I do have other websites researching this family bookmarked, so if you
need more info, just email me.
Susan
