Okay... The information provided previously seemed right but the
birthplace is wrong and so is the wife. I realize he could be married
more than once. The census information I have found states David
Caldwell was born in 1766 in North Carolina and was a wagonmaker. His
wife was Sarah ? born in 1769 in South Carolina. One of their
children was Joseph Caldwell born 1813 in South Carolina. David and
Sarah are living with Joseph when I found them in Lumpkin County
Georgia. Joseph married Sarah Disharoon 12/16/1838. They had 8
children - I believe their names are Solena, Mary, Lucinda, Amanda,
Esther, Frances, Joseph, and Andrew. Trying to determine if this
David Caldwell is also the father of Meredith Caldwell born 1825 and
died in 1851 when he was struck by lightening. He was married to
Winnie O. Woody and left her with 6 babies when he died.
