Thank you for that, Jean.
I am a Caldwell-Phillips descendant. I have only researched from a couple of
generation in Ireland down to the present. The Caldwell's came to NC/SC many
of them settling in Mecklenburg Co. N.C. before going into SC where my line
continued and some of us are still here. I live in Charleston with our
favorite son John Caldwell Calhoun, Vice-president, State Senator, Ambassador
to Belgium and Secretary of State and founder of Clemson University that is
on his plantation.
Just wanted to say hello and that you will get plenty of info from this
group. I have watched and they are well informed. Unfortunately I am
involved with 2 other family histories at the time, but did want to put my
two cents worth in the pile. My 6th great grandmother, Margaret Caldwell
that m. James Richey, is sister to Martha Caldwell, the mother of John C.
Calhoun.
Good luck.
Joy
Charleston, SC
