John,
I have traced my CALDWELL line back to OH (Ross Co. area) in 1808. My
ancestor was John CALDWELL b. 1810 Ross Co., OH m. Margaret CLOUSER in 1835
Ross Co. OH. I have found John's parents to be a John and Mary CALDWELL b ca
1775-80 from PA. John and his family moved to Ind and then on to Andrew Co.
MO by 1850.
Now I know John had at least on brother whose name was William. William was
born 1808 OH and he married 2nd in Ind a Elizabeth CHRISTY (I am not sure who
his first wife was). He too moved on to Andrew Co. MO.
According to a letter written by William's grandson or son (i would have to
search my notes), this CALDWELL line came to the states in the mid 1700s
from Ireland, although the family was originally from Scotland.
Is this the family that you are talking about? I would love to know more if
it is.
Thank you for your time,
Christine Talbot

I have some PA Caldwells in the 1700s beginning there with Joseph who
had
three sons and five daughters. Of the three sons, one (my line) went to
Ohio in 1808. I don't know what happened to the other two. One, a Robert
is said to have married an Elizabeth Alexander. Robert was born 1759. The
only data I have on the other brother is that his name was Joseph (son of
Joseph) and born abt. 1769.
There was a Craig Caldwell looking for another Joseph Caldwell who
immigrated with his family from County Derry, Ireland in 1769 and fist
settled in Sherman Valley, Perry County, PA. By 1780 he had moved his
family to Sewickley Creek, Westmoreland County. He later traveled to
Kentucky where he resided for some time. The date and place of death are
unknown.
This Joseph had six children; Joseph, David, Matthew, Andrew, James and
Polly. Joseph, David and Andrew settled in Kentucky. Matthew located in
Ohio and owned land near Piqua.
I don't have anything more on the line Craig was looking for, but I hope
some of this helps.
John Caldwell
