I don't know of a connection to Linda's family. Grandfather is Joseph David
CALDWELL b. 15 Jun, 1897. His SS app. in 1937 gives pob Little Rock, AR and his parents
Dave CALDWELL/ Betty CLARK. His WW1 draft card in 1918 gives pob McKee Co, AR. I think
there is no such place, but there is a McGehee, Desha, AR. There is a difference in the
handwriting on the card between the signature and the rest of the card; that could mean an
interpretation error.Tradition says that Joe was raised by an aunt, possibly meaning that
his parents had died. Have been unable to find him in any census. The earliest record is
his marriage to Iva MARLOW, Mar, 1918 in Cottle Co, TX.
