Message Board Post:
I have viewed Caldwell internet postings for some time and have found that none of them
have ever listed sources or data proving assertions re David Caldwell. I think that fact
is a major problem in sorting out who is who in this line. You list a Nancy Carey as
first wife. Have you looked at the US 1860 Census in Randolph Co. wherein a Nancy
Caldwell is listed? If she is David's first wife and alive in 1860 how is it he had
wives #2 and 3--as a bigamist? Another discrepancy found in these internet sites is the
birth year of David as you have pointed out. I am somewhat frustrated with these
undocumented assertions of kinship and disparities in data. Does anyone do original
research with original documents?
