Wow on the Bonnie and Clyde. When I was a girl instead of reading the romance stuff I
loved to read about the dangs, even Al Capone etc. My Grandmother was visiting once and
told my Mother she could not believe with all the good literature in the hosue I would
read that trash. Mom worried I might become a member or start one I think. ;0;0 I am
not a follower so would have to be the leader. I guess that is why though I never got in
trouble with the law I saw what became of those that did. They shoot you 100's of
times.
I use to live in Porter Tx and they had a house there that belonged to one of the people
in the gang, and a cemetery where one was buried. The house could have been a cousin of
one of them where they hid out. Have never had time to research that.
Do you have the information other than names on the parent of Andrew Jackson and their
parents have names but no dates. Trying to find where they came from originally.
Good to talk to you again,
Flo in Texas

Newton Dudley Caldwell s/o James Douglas Caldwell s/o Andrew Jackson Caldwell of Hempstead
and later Howard Co., AR was born January 19, 1841 at Buck Range. Died December 30, 1918
at Goodwater, OK. He is buried at Philadelphia Cemetery at same place. His wife however
was Lucy Ann D. Fontaine buried at Buck Range.
My question is: How do I find out the names of the JP's in Hempstead and Howard
Co.'s back in late 1800's and erly 1900's? I believe I saw an article before
my great aunt died that said he was a JP. In order for someone to become a Justice of the
Peace I would think they would have to read and write. However, some of his children, my
great grandfather was one of them, that could not read or write. I don't understand
that logic.
Also, another mystery I would like to figure out is why he left Buck Range. It is true he
had a child or two over in McCurtain Co., OK which is the Goodwater area. He also had a
long pigtail which leads us to believe that there was indian in the family. It was cut off
sometime before he was buried. One of my cousins has it in a trunk. Newton's son,
Joseph William Caldwell, my great grandfather finally admitted before he died that there
was indian in the Caldwell line. His brother Matthew Fontaine Caldwell was listed on the
indian rolls. Matthew Fontaine Caldwell was the father to Benny "Blanch" Ivy
Caldwell who married Buck Barrow of Bonnie and Clyde fame.
Any help is appreciated.
