As someone who has poured over every deed, will, etc record of Brunswick, Lunenburg, &
Charlotte Counties VA concerning the Caldwell's, I can advise that there is NO
evidence that the John Caldwell who died 1750 Club Creek, Va. had a middle name; nor is
there any evidence that his son William had a middle name. Middle names for persons born
in that age were rarely given - I mean I haven't found a single instance of middle
names for persons born before 1763; and I've been doing early Caldwell's research
since 1988. Someone should access the quoted source - The Caldwell Family by The American
Genealogical Research Institute; Washington, D.C. 1975 - to see if it actually says
"John F. Caldwell". If it does, is it stated with documentated evidence?
