Hi Shirley,
I don't believe there could be a connection. My Caldwells were already in
Nova Scotia by 1771/2. My Samuel CALDWELL was born in 1769 in Ireland and
came over with his parents and siblings Elizabeth, John, Mary and Joseph
(who was born enroute in New York Harbour). Samuel's father, James, was also
with them. Samuel grew up in Windsor, Nova Scotia, then married first Maria
WALKER in 1769, and had Samuel Jr. in 1790 (my gg grandfather, William in
1793, Joseph in 1795, James in 1801, Matthew in 1802, then Maria. His wife
Maria then died and he married Dorothy HIGGINS and they had 6 more children.
So, the dates don't seem to match for this to be the same family, right?

hello Ginny,
I am not sure but it is a good possibility that we are one of the same. As
My Samuel Caldwell B abt. 1808 and married Nancy Gibson in Irelland and
came to Nova Scotia. However we Know tha Samuel had a Brother John, and a
sister Margaret, But we know there were other children but we don't know
how many and who his parents are. May we can exchange Info and make a
connections. We also know he had brother before hm that came to Nova
scotia but he never new where. Over the years we had heard that they came
to the valley and hants. But we have no proof.
Please I would love to hear from you.
Shirley
