I found somewhat of an answer to my original question on this web site. Still
doesn't answer my questions.

I have a Margaret Caldwell, born in Washington County, PA, about
1790-1800
and married a Mr. Johnson. They then moved to St. Clairsville, Ohio and I
have found them in the census there. Could there be a connection? I have
not been able to trace Margaret's father, Robert Caldwell, 1750-1800, and I
would love to find family of theirs.
