My name is Kathrine Renee (Schick) Eldridge. George Caldwell is my 5th great grand
father- George, Garland, Charles M. (Matthews), Lee Andrew Wilson, Charles Mason, James
Joseph and my mom Patricia Vallerie Caldwell (Schick). I too am stuck at George and Jane.
But I am also having trouble getting birth and death certs for everyone from Charles
Mason back. Do you have anything that you can share? I m trying to track down copies of
a family bible or baptismal records. My cousin Mike Conroy is working with me as well.
Unfortunately, I never got to know many of my Caldwell relatives.
As far as Jane Winn is concerned, I have contacted the Fairfield Museum's genealogy
department and requested assistance, since they are located in Winnsboro SC, which was
named after Jane's family. I am wondering if both George and Jane went by their
middle names due to their parents or other close relatives having their same first names--
ex: maybe Jane had Elizabeth for a first name or George had William as a first name??? I
have always been told that we are related to John Caldwell and Margaret Phillips some how
but haven't been able to track this down. Maybe this is because the name that he was
called was his middle name--It's the only thing I can think of that I haven't
tried.
Do you have copies of the original family letters? I have retyped ones written by Uncle
Andrew to Mollie and to Julia Andrew Caldwell Sherrett.
I hope to hear from you so we can correspond and share info.
Thanks.
Kathy
