Hello
I am new to this list and hope someone can help me with an ancestor who has long been one
of my dead ends.
His name was GEORGE CALDWELL, b. 1821, d. 1896. He married Sarah [Sallie] Washabaugh. I
believe she was born 1838 in PA. and I believe the marriage took place in Portsmouth, OH.
At any event, they had a daughter, Ellen Nora [Ella] who was b. in Portsmouth, OH 7 July
1861. Another daughter, Ida, was born a couple of years later.
By 1875 Ella married in Anniston, AL and at some time later Sarah Washabaugh Caldwell was
also living in GA/AL area. I don't know where George was then, or after.
IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PERSON, I WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE!
In papers left by my mother are mentioned the names, MASON CALDWELL, and Mason's
children, William Salter Caldwell Shanner , Effie Caldwell Shanner, Charley Caldwell
Shanner, Beatrice Caldwell [Shanner]. In parentheses is the notation that Shanner is the
stepfather's name.
I don't know who Mason is or who his children are or what connection exists among all
these people. But I would surely like to know!
ALL CLUES GRATEFULLY RECEIVED!
Thanks
Cecile
