I am seeking information on my GG Grandfather J J Caldwell. He was born 21
Aug. 1837 in Mecklenburg, NC. I have not been able to determine who his father
was. He married Drucilla Josephine Kelly in Mecklenburg on 6 Oct 1857. Part of
my problem has been his first and middle name. On the marriage record he is
listed as Joshua J. On the 1900 census he is listed as Joseph J. Several other
census records show him as Joshua or Joseph. His name is shown as John Josiah
in his son's (William Edward Caldwell) obituary and his death certificate list
his name as John J. I have found a Joshua Caldwell on the 1850 census in
Mecklenburg, NC with the right age, no male old enough to be his father and two
females named Ellen, one of which is 30 and the other older.
J. J Caldwell died on 10 March 1916 in Cherokee, SC.
His wife Drucilla Kelly supposedly came from Union County, not sure if it is NC
or SC.
Any information on either J J or his wife Drucilla would be greatly appreciated.
