I am trying to find information about Thomas Caldwell/Coldwell, born 24 Oct
1773. Died 1835 in Pope County, Arkansas. He married an Elizabeth, born in
Maryland about 1774, died sometime after 1850. I find Thomas and his family
in Haywood County, North Carolina, on the 1810 and 1820 census records.
There were 7 sons, Hezekiah, born 1899, James, born 1803, Thomas, born 1809,
William Hightower, born 1810, John Wesley, born 1814, Andrew Jackson, born
1817, and Joshua born 1821. There were also 2 females, names unknown, but
suspect they might have been Mary Ann and Nancy because of the repetition of
these two female names in the brother's families.
All of the sons were born in North Carolina. From NC they went to Alabama
(James was married there), to Tennessee, to Arkansas and to Collin County,
Texas in the 1840's.
It is difficult to sort the Caldwells from Haywood County, NC The 1830 Thomas
is does not match the profile of my Thomas, and the family was supposed to
have been in Tennessee at this time. The 1820 census has a William, possibly
related to my Thomas. There is also an Alexander, an older man, who seems to
have no connection to our line.
Would appreciate any help in sorting out this family
