I'm seeking info on my great great grandfather James caldwell, he was I beleive a
blacksmith in mason Co IL. he was born in IL in 1841, both of his parents were from
Ireland,
what I have so far is.............
Frank Caldwell married Allie M. Athey on 09/28/1883 in Mason County, Illinois. Allie M.
Athey is Olive M. Athey, Olive, is obviously a nickname. Olive (Allie) M. Athey was also
born in "Mason County", Illinois, on 01/23/1865.
I checked the 1880 census for Mason County, Illinois for a Frank Caldwell:
A Frank Caldwell was born in 1869 in Illinois (probably Mason Co)
His father was James Caldwell, a Blacksmith, born 1841 in Illinois, both of his parents
born in Ireland.
Mother was Rachel ___ Caldwell, born 1858 in Illinois, both parents born in New York
He had a sister Mary b. 1867, and sister Anna b. 1866.
The Frank caldwell mentioned is my great grandfather and james would be my great great
grandfather
any help would be appreciated
