Hello Listers,
I descend from Samuel Calwell (revolutionary patriot) of Harford Co.,
(Baltimore) MD. I am trying to find out who and where Samuel came from. I
have a pretty thorough descendants database on him. One son, James, migrated
to White Sulphur Springs, Greenbriar Co., VA (WV), and took over the
Springs.
I have Samuel's birth date as before 1749 in Harford Co., and he died 1800
in Harford Co.
Married Anne Richardson before 1773 in Harford and had 5 sons, William,
James, Samuel Jr., Thomas and Dorsey.
Samuel was a Lt, Capt, and Major in the Harford Co., Militia 1775-1778.
Signed many documents, declarations and Oaths of Allegiance to MD, his home
still stands in Harford Co.
I have a great deal of info on him, but I have not been able to find out who
his parents are or where they migrated from. I am under the general
impression that the parents may have come from Scotland, as there is a
reference in one of his biographies that he "occasionally using a d in his
name (Caldwell), after the Scottish fashion."
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance,
Lisa Murphey Ward
