Hello!
I have William CALDWELL b. bef. 1765( Johnstown?)m. Rebecca(who?). When his will was
probated in Apr 1827, stated he died in Palatine, NY and had 3 sons: Joseph, James and
Paul and 2. Daughters: Elizabeth ch. 1790 and Sally ch. 1792 who did they marry?
Is the James b. 1798, found in Ephratah, NY 1850 Census, b. in Ephratah a BROTHER? He
married Jane SMITH and had Lyman, Harriett( m. Brannigan), Hamilton, Elizabeth,Helen,
William and Jane(m. Erckenbrack).
Is the Joseph b. 1800, found in Caroga, NY 1850 Census, a BROTHER ? He married Sally ?
and had Rebecca, Sally, William, Margaret, Hamilton, Mary, Louisa, Clarisa, Garrett and
Harriett(twins).
I have info on Paul b. 1796,d. 1871, m. Catherine THUMB. He is a son of William as
mentioned in will......BUT Cuyler Reynolds in his book, has him a son of James Caldwell of
Ireland>PA> NY.
So who does he belong too??
I would greatly appreciate some help in knocking down this very high brick wall!. Thank
you, Bridget
