Abt 1859 Frank and his brothers, Marion and Samuel, left with a wagon
train
planning on going to California to look for gold. Along the way,
Samuel met a girl from another train and left his brothers and went to WA
and them settled in OR.
Frank and Marion must have turned back and moved to Michigan as that
is
where their father Levi moved and I found land record showing Francis
Caldwell from Tuscarawas co. bought land. Then in 1863, Levi, Marion &
Frances all enlist in the civil war. At some point Frances takes a leave
from the war and doesn't return. However, a family tale has him in Cove,
Union Co., OR sometime before 1873 with a wife, Florence and two children
"Sammy and Kitty". Brother Marion built them a house. I believe Frank
drowned Nov 1873 and his brother Samuel, who tried to save him, died a month
later on Christmas eve, from pneumonia. So, am looking for descendants of
Kitty (Catharine after her grandmother) and Sammy (Samuel)
