Subject: [CALDWELL-L] Anna McKinney Caldwell
Jane and Flo:
I'll 'throw a few more coals on the fire' with this :
"Anna (Anney) Caldwell was married first to a gambler named Hayes. Hayes
left her by herself most of the time with her kids. He was finally killed
in
some kind of a fight one night.
One of the Caldwell boys was sent down to see about her and they loaded up
her stuff in a wagon and moved her. Some of her stuff was at a Dunn man's
house. They got it while he wasn't there, but he caught them before they
got
away. The Caldwell boy had a pistol. He threatened to shoot Dunn and
they
got away anyhow.
They found a place for her to live and one of them would go see about her
from time to time. One night Lewis Nance told the Caldwell boys 'Never
mind
about tonight, I will go and see about her.' That night they got
married."
This was recorded from a Conversation with Lucille Blair, Shreveport,
Louisiana, August, 1970. She was descended from Anna.
Anna McKinney Caldwell was married to Lewis Nance June 20, 1830 in
Hempstead
County, Arkansas Territory, by B. M. Pierson, JP.
Anney was my GGGGG-Grandmother.

Flo: I need Anna's husband's name, birth, death, etc.
I have her as Anna McKinney Caldwell born April 19, 1800 in Maury Co.,
Dickson, TN. Died February 1868 in Hempstead Co., AR. Buried Forest Hill
Cemetery, Nevada, AR. Is this correct?
I have 3 children for her: James born 1827, William born 1828 and Jane W.
born 1829. Is this correct? Can you ad to this list of children?
Any other info you need, please let me know.
Thanks!
Jane Foley
