Surname: CALDWELL
-------------------------
My father SIM CALDWELL born March 11, 1903 but on his SS# application he
put June 15th 1903.We celebrated the March date. He was born in PINEVILLE
KY. He said Leslie County but that is in Bell County so I have to include
both. He was young when orphaned.
Father: JAMES CALDWELL Born: ? Died ?
Mother:ELIZABETH CALDWELL Born ? Died about 1906.
Brother: DANIEL CALDWELL: Younger than Sim.
Half siblings: 5 brothers 1 sister, all older. One brother killed in a
Coal Mine.
ELIZABETH CALDWELL died about 1906. The children were placed in an Orphanage
in Louisville around 1910 by their father. After much searching I haven't
found this orphanage and was told by the DSS that the Orphanage files are
stockpiled in a Wearhouse in Frankfort and not in alphabetical order.
DANIEL CALDWELL was adopted by a family in Boston.
SIM CALDWELL was adopted by EDWARD and LILLIAN (also told CLARA) CRAIG
in Flagsprings KY. where they had a store of some sort. but I can't find
such a town. My dad never took their name.
Please, if anything sounds vaguely familiar contact me. I have felt like
half an orphan all of my life. I am now 53 and I have a potentially fatal
illness. I would so like to know my history before I die, without knowing,
just as my Dad did.
In Hope,
ELIZABETH LEE CALDWELL nightsky(a)t-one.net
